Aschacher Family Dentistry practices a philosophy of dentistry called MicroDentistry. This is the practice of finding and treating decay as early as possible, of removing as little tooth structure as possible, of making the smallest possible restorations (fillings), and of assuring that those restorations are asthetically pleasing and long lasting.

To do this a process called Air Abrasion is used to remove the decay and prepare the tooth for restoration.

What is Air Abrasion?

Air Abrasion is a gentle spray of an air-and-powder mist that removes tooth decay. One of the advantages of this revolutionary process is that by controlling the speed and the intensity of both the powder and the air, your dentist can make the procedure virtually painless. In most cases a shot is not necessary. This mean that you will not have numb or drooping lips after your dental procedure. The art and science of dentistry have changed, offering a no needle, no drill, no fear procedure for removing decay.

Because Air Abrasion uses a very small beam of powder Dr. Aschacher is able to be much more precise then with a dental drill. This means that less of your healthy tooth structure needs to be removed.

Perfect for Children As Well As Adults

Air Abrasion is perfect for children. Most cavities that are detected early can be treated immediately, without a drill and without a needle. The tooth is then restored with natural looking materials to strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure. Most children aren't even aware what the dentist is doing.

Fewer dental appointments are usually required because with Air Abrasion many more procedures can be completed in a single appointment.

Many people fear the dentist until they experience the gentle process of Air Abrasion and Microdentistry.
