Drill Less Dentistry

Many individuals fear the dentist, not because of the dentist themselves, but because of his instruments - including the ever-dreaded drill. But these days, dentist visits don't always have to involve the sound of the drill. In fact, Dr. Sindelar and his staff at Sindelar Dental Group, Inc. are part of a growing trend of drill less dentistry.

Drill less dentistry is when a dentist uses non-invasive techniques in order to complete standard procedures in the dentist's chair. Dr. Sindelar uses a high-tech solution to finding cavities - the Diagnodent. The Diagnodent is a laser device that can help dentists find cavities before they've reached the surface of the enamel and cause patients pain and discomfort. The Diagnodent gives the dentist a reading on the extent and severity of a cavity. This allows the office to catch them when they are small enough that they can be done without a shot. We then restore the cavities with a system called Air Abrasion. It is a combination of air and a fine powder that removes the decay and uses a bonding to fill the spot. It is minimally invasive micro-dentistry. It keeps the tooth much healthier and does not remove near as much tooth structure as standard drilling and filling. This procedure can be done entirely without numbing a patient, and can be done on individuals of all ages.

By completing our services with drill less dentistry, we can offer quick, painless, and effective ways to restore teeth without using medication, numbing agents, or drills. This can help make your next trip to the dentist painless, relaxing, but effective.
