Air Abrasion

Many people associate the high-pitched whirring of a dental drill with pain. Just the sound alone can make many people wince.

A relatively new technique called air abrasion uses powerful particles of aluminum oxide to remove debris and decay. The most exciting thing for patients is that air abrasion is painless and, in some cases, doesn't require an anesthetic.

Air abrasion leaves behind a gritty feeling in your mouth, which is simply rinsed away almost instantaneously using a small suction device.

Tiny cracks and imperfections on a tooth can be fixed using air abrasion. Although air abrasion is not suitable for work on crowns and bridges, it is often used for bonding procedures, and on tooth restorations involving composite, or tooth-colored fillings.

What Patients Say About Engelbrecht Family Dental, PA

    Thanks so much for the great care you give me! I thought I'd be sore from the work you did on my new implant but within a mere few hours, I barely noticed it. I'm actually looking forward to the final process.

    Marcia C., Woodbury MN

    Thank you Dr. Chad and Carrie for being so kind and calm at my last appointment. As you are aware, I am very nervous to have dental work done. You are professional and kept me comfotable during a difficult procedure!

    Helga P, Oakdale, MN

    One of the things I hate most about job relocation is finding a new dentist. I have three expectations from a dentist. 1. Cleanliness (facility, staff and equipment) 2. Painless 3. A bill that is fair. Engelbrecht Family Dental delivered on all three points. Thank you!

    Bonnie Z., Woodbury MN

    I have been coming to see Dr. Chad and his staff for several years now. From day 1, I have always been impressed with how honest Dr. Chad was regarding what dental care I needed as well as how nice everyone has been to me. I appreciate all you do for me and my dental needs. I highly recommend Dr. Chad and his staff for your dental needs.
