Eliminate General Numbness With Single-Tooth Anesthesia

Say goodbye to a numb face! Single-tooth anesthesia (STA) at Dresher Family Dental Care in Dresher eliminates this problem because we target just the tooth we are working on. This means you retain feeling in your cheeks, lips, and tongue while enjoying the same numbing sensation around the tooth we will work on.

What does single-tooth anesthesia involve?

STA is a minimally invasive procedure that involves only injecting anesthetic into the area surrounding a single tooth. This freezes just that one tooth, eliminating the need to numb your entire face. The recovery time is shorter, with fewer side effects because only one tooth is affected instead of multiple teeth.

Why do people choose single-tooth anesthesia?

The primary benefit of STA is that it’s fast and effective. You can go in for a dental procedure or extraction and have it done in half the time it would take with traditional anesthesia. You can expect an almost painless injection and precisely measured anesthesia for predictable results. The effects are nearly instantaneous, so you don’t have to wait until you’re thoroughly numb. Because it’s targeted to just one tooth, you won’t have to deal with having a numb face for hours, which may cause you to unintentionally bite your tongue, lips, and the inside of your cheeks.
