If you have an upcoming dental procedure here at Norton Family Dental, you may see us using a Single Tooth Anesthesia® system, also known as The Wand®, to numb your tooth before starting treatment. This works to ease the pain and improve your comfort as we care for your smile. To learn more about single tooth anesthesia in Kernersville, North Carolina, and schedule an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Ethan Norton, please give us a call at 336-996-6551.
The Wand is a computer-controlled single-tooth anesthesia (STA) system designed to improve your comfort during dental visits. This innovative technology offers a precise and consistent delivery of anesthetic, often providing a pain-free numbing experience. With The Wand, you can feel at ease from the moment treatment begins, as the anesthetic takes effect almost immediately.
Traditional injections can sometimes cause a stinging sensation due to uneven pressure when the anesthetic is administered. However, The Wand eliminates this discomfort with its computer-regulated flow, ensuring a smooth, controlled delivery. Another key benefit of The Wand is its focus on single-tooth anesthesia. Rather than numbing multiple teeth and surrounding tissues like your cheeks, lips or tongue, The Wand targets only the area needed for your procedure. This targeted approach allows you to avoid the lingering numbness that can affect half your mouth for hours.
The ergonomic design of The Wand also makes it easier for our dentist and team to use compared to traditional anesthesia methods. Its lightweight handpiece ensures precise control, without relying on conventional syringes. You can feel more comfortable knowing that your anesthetic is being administered with a tool that is designed to minimize stress and enhance your overall experience.
We are committed to making your visits as pleasant as possible, and The Wand is one way we achieve that goal. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of single-tooth anesthesia and how it can improve your treatment experience, we encourage you to contact our office. Our team is happy to answer your questions and help you discover the advantages of this advanced dental solution.
