The 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.

The needle used for STA does not look like a typical syringe. The needle looks like a wand or pen with a tiny needle on the end and, being much smaller than the traditional dental needles, it does not cause the numbness and drooling that you have come to expect after having dental work done.

What are the advantages? Because your face is not totally numbed, you don't have to wait for hours for the effects of the anesthetic to wear off after your dental visit. You will be able to drink and speak normally, and your face will not look disfigured.

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.
