The Wand is an innovative device that can make local anaesthetic injections easy, even for needle-phobic patients. It uses computer controlled technology to slow the flow rate of the anaesthetic, reducing discomfort and creating a more pleasant experience. Many patients don’t even realise the injection has happened and are still waiting for the pain even when it is complete!
With The Wand STA system, we can better control and target the anaesthetic delivery. Just one tooth can be numbed, so the anaesthetic won’t affect your tongue, cheek or lip, which happens with the traditional method. You can eat and smile as normal as soon as you leave the practice, and return to your normal activities sooner.
If you need local anaesthetic to numb your tooth as part of your dental treatment, we show you The Wand STA system and explain how it works, making sure you would like it to be used for you.
We use The Wand handpiece, which looks and is held just like a pen, to deliver small amounts of local anaesthetic to the affected area of your mouth. It works at low pressure and a slow rate, so you won’t feel any pain during the numbing process.
The Wand is a fantastic option for patients who are not keen on needles or injections. We administer the local anaesthetic injection quickly and comfortably, so you may not even realise it has been completed.
The Wand STA system has been designed to significantly minimise the discomfort associated with traditional anaesthetic delivery. Some patients may feel a slight prick or pinch, but many don’t even feel the injection and are still waiting for it to be administered when we have already finished.
The Wand's pen-like design and quieter operation can be less intimidating for patients with dental anxiety. It looks like a modern piece of dental equipment and nothing like a traditional syringe. The Wand works quickly and effectively for a more pleasant experience.
The Wand STA system is a safe and effective method for delivering local anaesthetic without a traditional syringe. Please talk to us if you are interested in having The Wand for your treatment.
