The Wand® Single Tooth Anesthesia

What is The Wand Single Tooth Anesthesia?

The Wand Single Tooth Anesthesia or STA is a modern, computer-assisted device that delivers anesthesia to just one tooth without numbing your whole mouth. It’s a great option for patients who want a comfortable and precise dental experience.

The Wand STA uses a small, hand-held wand to deliver your anesthetic. Unlike traditional syringes, the device employs advanced technology to control the flow and pressure of the anesthetic. This gentle and steady delivery helps avoid the sudden sting or pressure that can happen with manual injections.

Many patients say The Wand STA feels more like a moment of gentle pressure than a typical dental injection. Advanced Family Dentistry especially recommends it for routine procedures like fillings and other single-tooth treatments.

Will I still feel numb with The Wand Single Tooth Anesthesia?

You still feel numb with The Wand STA, but only in the tooth undergoing treatment. That means you won’t have the familiar fat lip or numb cheek feeling you get with traditional injections.

With The Wand STA, you can talk, eat, and smile normally after your visit. You won’t experience embarrassing drooling or have to wait hours for the numbness to wear off.

Does The Wand Single Tooth Anesthesia work as well as regular anesthesia?

The Wand is just as effective as traditional anesthesia for numbing a single tooth. In fact, many patients find the experience more pleasant and are surprised at how little discomfort they feel during treatment.

Dental offices have been successfully using The Wand for many years. Its computer-guided system allows for a precise and gentle delivery of anesthetic that’s especially helpful for the following patients:

• Those with dental anxiety
• Those who dislike needles
• Those who need quick recovery after dental work
• Children and teens

The Wand’s small, pen-like design looks much less intimidating than a traditional syringe, and the slow, computer-controlled anesthesia delivery helps reduce discomfort and fear. Many anxious patients say it helped them feel calmer and more confident about visiting the dentist.
