Micro-dentistry is a relatively new and alternative way to treat decay in teeth. The idea behind it is to remove as little of the natural tooth as possible while removing all of the decay. With the advent of our new techniques and technology, decay can be conservatively (and painlessly) removed from a tooth and be replaced by a filling which will restore a tooth to its original strength and look.
In nearly all instances, micro-dentistry won’t require an injection and you won’t need to be numbed – no matter how low your pain threshold!
The latest on-site 3-D cone beam scans are now available at Joffe Dental.
With the reduced need for an anesthetic, we can complete more work in less time and there will be less need for a traditional dental drill. This, by making use of air-abrasion in which a fine, pressurized stream of aluminum oxide powder is used to remove the small decayed pits and fissures in teeth.
Micro-dentistry is a superb preventative treatment for those who share our belief in early and conservative care. Decay can be removed without an injection, without the noise of a drill, and without the odor.
