At Serene Dental, we’re proud to offer air abrasion in Orlando, a new technique designed to treat tooth decay without the need for traditional dental drills. This modern approach allows us to gently remove decayed areas using a stream of fine particles, making the experience more comfortable, quiet, and less invasive for our patients.

What Is Air Abrasion?

Air abrasion is a minimally invasive dental technique that uses a stream of fine particles to gently remove decay from the tooth surface. It is like a high-tech mini sandblaster for your teeth, without the vibration, noise, or heat of a traditional drill.

Instead of using a metal drill, air abrasion sprays a controlled flow of fine particles—usually aluminum oxide—onto the affected area. These particles gently wear away the decayed part of the tooth, while a suction system clears away debris as we go.

Is Air Abrasion Safe and Pain-Free?

Yes, air abrasion is a safe and comfortable alternative to traditional drilling. It uses a gentle stream of tiny particles to remove decay without heat, pressure, or vibration. This means most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Because air abrasion is minimally invasive, it can be done without anesthesia. There’s no loud drilling sound or sensation of pressure, which makes it especially helpful for children and patients with dental anxiety. Most people can return to their normal routine immediately after the appointment with no numbness or recovery time needed.
