Drill-less Dentistry - Air Abrasion

Encino Smile Design uses an exciting new technology called Air Abrasion, which helps avoid the use of needles and an uncomfortable numb feeling. It removes the smallest possible amount of tooth structure and enables us to place strong natural looking restorations in only a few minutes.

Air abrasion involves the use of a special hand piece that creates a beam of abrasive particles propelled by a stream of clean, dry air. Air abrasion is most effectively used for small early cavities, removal of stains, repair of small chips, and to repair or replace fillings.
