Air Abrasion

For certain small cavities, Air Abrasion can mean NO needles and NO drills. It is a relatively new technology in dentistry. A high powered stream of air, with powder, cleans decay from small cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, allowing a white filling to be bonded in place. Air abrasion permits ultraconservative tooth removal and leaves the remaining tooth structure sound, chemically clean and very bondable, also usually eliminates the need for numbing and/or needles.  If you have any cavities that are good candidates for this procedure, we will certainly let you know.

Surgical Telescopes

Dr. Jones performs most of his dental procedures while wearing a pair of surgical telescopes. These telescopes give Dr. Jones the ability to be much more critical of his work allowing him to see details that would go unnoticed to the naked eye.
