Air Abrasion Northridge, CA
Air abrasion is a modern dental procedure that offers a less invasive and more comfortable alternative to traditional drilling methods. At Dentist of Northridge, we are pleased to provide air abrasion services to our patients, allowing for gentle and effective dental care. Whether you have small signs of decay, stains, or discoloration, air abrasion can help restore the health and appearance of your teeth without the use of a drill.
How is Air Abrasion Used in Northridge?
During air abrasion treatment, a high-powered, pressurized tool is utilized to direct a stream of small particles, such as aluminum oxide, baking soda mixture, or silica, to the affected area on the tooth. This process effectively removes decay, stains, and discoloration, similar to a sandblaster or pressure washer. The excess material and decay are then suctioned away with a thin tube, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
