Dr. Andrews stays abreast of the latest technology trends in dentistry to make your visits to his office the best they can be.
On this page you can read about these technologies and find out how they will benefit you.

ZAP Advanced MicroLaser System - Styla
The incredible pen-sized, portable laser offers a non-invasive approach to dental procedures. The MicroLaser technology is the first of its kind, offering an enhanced standard of care to patients. With the use of the Zap Advanced MicroLaser System, patients can enjoy a virtually pain free dental experience with little to no bleeding or swelling and faster healing time then traditional methods.
The Wand (also known as STA) SINGLE TOOTH ANESTHESIA SYSTEM
Most patients cringe at the very sight of a needle or syringe, but thanks to the CompuDent system, painful injections are a thing of the past. This advanced computer technology comes equipped with a tiny, lightweight Wand (handpiece) that reduces the discomfort and anxiety associated with receiving anesthetic. In fact, the reason injections are painful has nothing to do with the needle at all. The source of discomfort is actually caused by the flow of dental anesthetic into the tissue. That's where the unique Wand technology comes into play. The pen-like handpiece delivers an even-flow of anesthetic to the confined tissue area, eliminating the painful pin-prick feeling. In certain instances, techniques can be used to minimize the unpleasant numbing of the tongue, cheek, and face
Upon your next dental treatment, ask Dr. Andrews about the CompuDent system, for a comfortable, pain free dental experience.

Air Abrasion
One of the most progressive areas in dentistry today is air abrasion cavity preparations. The powerful Air Abrasion System provides an effective alternative to the dental drill and is used for both general and cosmetic procedures. The air abrasion system produces a gentle air flow of microabrasive particles, transferred through a tiny handpiece that never makes direct contact with the tooth. Dr. Andrews can quickly and comfortably fill in multiple cavities, in one visit, without the use of anesthesia and can also be used to remove stains from teeth and in the application of sealants and restorations. Because air abrasion generates no heat or vibration, more of the tooth structure can be preserved, with less chance of micro-fracturing or tooth chipping.
Experience the comfort and ease of air abrasion technology at your next dental visit, to help give you a healthy, beautiful smile.
