Painless injections
We know that some patients get more nervous than others at the mere sight of a needle and syringe. That's where the CompuDent
STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) system comes in. The computer controlled system allows for an even-flow delivery of anesthetic in a
very comfortable, non-threatening manner. It eliminates the "bee sting" effect - the painful consequence from a surge of fluid into a
confined tissue area. Even more, certain injections made possible with the minimize the unnecessary numbness of the tongue, cheek,
and face. Imagine leaving the dentist's office without a "fat lip!"

The Single Tooth Anesthesia system provides painless injections for all routine dental treatment
including root canals, crowns, fillings, and cleanings. The computer-controlled local anesthetic
delivery system doesn't look like a syringe. It doesn't feel like a syringe. And, what's more, it works
better than a syringe resulting in a more pleasant experience. Ask Dr. Scott about it at your next visit,
it's the comfortable alternative to the syringe.

Laser Detection of Tooth Decay
The traditional way to check for cavities was by looking for visual signs of decay on the tooth,
checking x-rays, or feeling for a soft area with a dental hook. DIAGNOdent is a laser that
scans your teeth with harmless pulses of light. When a cavity is present, fluorescent light of a
different wavelength bounces back to the sensor, which is translated to a digital read-out. In
general, the higher the number, the greater the amount of decay in the tooth. When a cavity is
present, the DIAGNOdent also produces an audible signal.

You'll benefit from our use of DIAGNOdent, because it helps us find decay that may have
previously gone undetected. By diagnosing decay early in its development, we can prevent
more extensive damage. Your restorations will be small and less costly, and you'll be able to
retain more of your own natural, healthy tooth.
