Experience Pain-Free Dentistry - STA Single Tooth Anesthesia: The Wand

Dental technology is growing in leaps. A substantial section of tech development is to make dental procedures patient-friendly. Yes, you’ve guessed it right—solving dental anxiety. It is not unusual to be scared of the masked dentists, the loud drill, and the painful injections. With that in mind, we introduce the Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) technique.

To give you a teaser about it, the painless anesthesia STA system exclusively numbs ONLY the tooth in concern and not the whole jaw. Imagine not having a fat needle piercing through your cheeks, a lopsided numb jaw, drooling saliva, and all this for hours after the procedure.

The dental procedure, especially the local anesthesia, is thus stress-free for both you and your dentist. Stay with the team at Magnolia Dental Waterdown, as we discuss the ins & outs of the Wand Single Tooth Anesthesia system.

Key Benefits:

Painless Injections

A study compared the Wand Injection System with traditional anesthesia to see which caused less pain, worked better, caused less discomfort after the procedure, and affected patient anxiety. It was found that the Wand caused less pain during injection and less discomfort afterward than the traditional syringe. Both methods were equally effective for anesthesia. Blood pressure and heart rate were lower with the Wand. What does that mean?

Pain-free dentistry, so less stress, better dental attendance, and good oral health.

Precision Delivery

You only numb the areas in the mouth that are under concern. The WandÂŪ STA system falls under the class of devices called Computer-Controlled Local Anesthetic Delivery (CCLAD) systems. 

These systems use computerized devices to control the speed, rate of delivery, and start/stop of the anesthetic injection. It is uniformized and precise. Only the teeth and their surrounding gums are precisely and effectively numbed.

Enhanced Patient Comfort

It is magical! The STA Wand System is usually more effective in reducing pain and anxiety, particularly for complex or invasive procedures. It is the real picture of painless dentistry.

Moreover, the anesthesia acts faster. The quicker the numbness, the faster the procedure and the shorter the appointment. Voila! What better than this to beat dental anxiety?

How STA Works:

The single-tooth anesthesia technique uses a computer-controlled device to give the numbing solution to the area at modest, steady rates, rather than the big sting of a traditional injection. The device essentially provides a seamless experience, both physically and mentally.

You essentially go needle-free. The Single Tooth Anesthesia in Waterdown has 3 main parts: a handpiece, a computer control unit, and a foot pedal. The dentist puts the handpiece inside the patient’s mouth. Then the pen-like tool is connected to an anesthetic cartridge. The computer program attached to these attachments then starts and stops the delivery of the anesthetic solution, also adjusting the injection pressure based on the area of the mouth. The foot pedal controls the injection rate; a continuous administration flow of a fixed amount of anesthetic solution at a slow and steady speed is the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA)?

It is a computer-controlled system that slowly and steadily delivers local anesthesia to only the concerned tooth and gums, with no big fat needles, no long pokes, and prolonged anesthesia after effects.

How does Magnolia Dental Waterdown implement STA for dental procedures?

We embrace dental anxiety. So, if someone is potentially afraid of dental injections, we educate you about the STA system and easily fix the computer-controlled handheld pen-sized wand machine to deliver the anesthetic solution.

What are the benefits of STA over traditional anesthesia techniques?

The benefits of STA over traditional anesthesia techniques include painless injections, pain-free dental procedures, faster actions, precise anesthesia, and faster recovery.

Is STA suitable for everyone?

The dentist needs the patient’s weight to calculate the amount of anesthetic solution required, also the site of injection, and the procedure at hand.

Is STA safe?

Yes. The STA has a controlled, slow, and steady flow of the anesthetic solution. The process is monitored, planned, and heavily controlled. Hence, it is safe.

Does STA require any special preparation?

Yes. The dentist will always aspirate after the first delivery of anesthesia to see that the WAND is not depositing the anesthetic solution into a blood vessel, nerves, or vital tissue.

How long does the anesthesia effect last with STA?

The local anesthesia effect with STA lasts for an adequate time for the procedure and 1-2 hours after that.

Are there any side effects associated with STA?

Usually not. However, it is best to let the dentist know about any medical conditions, such as hypertension, cardiac conditions, etc for a safer procedure.

Can STA be used for all types of dental treatments?

The STA dental anesthesia can be used for anything from teeth cleanings, dental extractions, dental crowns, and more

Is STA covered by dental insurance?

It is best to visit the dental clinic and connect with your insurance provider to know if STA is covered by dental insurance.
