Dental Procedures - Cavities
Cosmetic Dentist serving Boulder and Denver, Colorado for over 30 years
When you visit Dr. Schaffer for a cavity filling, you will be surprised by the Air Abrasion technology he uses. The first thing you'll notice is that the dental procedure doesn't require any local anesthetic. The second is the absence of that loud, whining drill noise.
Air Abrasion works by propelling tiny, harmless particles of aluminum oxide into the cavity, without ever physically touching the tooth. Air abrasion is very exact and can pinpoint minuscule amounts of decay while leaving the unaffected part of the tooth intact.
When Dr. Schaffer uses Air Abrasion to clean a cavity, you will feel a burst of cool air in your mouth. You may also feel some gritty particles on your tongue-they are perfectly harmless and will be rinsed out after the dental procedure is over. Dr. Schaffer may have you wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.
Air Abrasion is most effective for small cavities in the early stages of development. It can also be used to repair minor chips in your teeth, remove light stains, and repair certain fillings.
Dr. Schaffer has spent many years using the Air Abrasion method and he will determine whether you are a candidate for the dental procedure, based on the amount of decay in the tooth.
If you live in the Boulder or Denver-metro area, and are interested in the Air Abrasion method, please contact Dr. Schaffer today. He'll help determine which options are best suited for your specific dental needs. For the smile of your life, contact Dr. Schaffer today!
