STA or Single Tooth Anesthesia Procedure

The STA or Single Tooth Anesthesia Procedure

The STA system only lets a certain amount of anesthesia go through while you are having your dental process, promising that there won't be any pain felt from the stick of the needle or the dentist working on your mouth. Only the location that dental work has to be done on is numbed.

STA needles don't resemble syringes. The needle is much smaller than the usual needles used by dentists; it looks kind of like a wand or pen with a tiny needle on the end. It does not cause the usual numbness and drooling that normally occurs when dental work is done.

How this impacts you: Since your whole face will not be numb after your dental visit, you won't have to wait long before you can speak or drink something without drooling, nor will you have a fat lip and lopsided face!

Negative experiences with dental injections are a thing of the past, since the STA system uses a computer controlled, automatic system to release anesthesia and avoid that pinching effect. Without using a syringe, these doses of anesthesia are administered below your threshold of pain.

Numerous patients have gone through terrible experiences with dental needles. Since the STA system is controlled by a computer and released automatically, you won't feel like a bee has stung you. This anesthesia is given to you depending on how much pain you can stand - without using the hated dental syringe.

You will notice no pain because the computerized system gives an initial little spray to numb the gum and then slowly emits small doses of anesthesia.
