STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia)
FDA Cleared
In order to ensure there is no pain from the injections or the work your dentist is doing, the STA system releases a specific amount of anesthesia throughout your dental procedure. Just the location where work is to be done is numbed.
The needle used with STA doesn't look anything like a syringe! This needle is very small compared to an average dental needle (this needle has the appearance of a wand or a pen with a small needle attached), and you won't feel the associated numbness and typically embarrassing spit dripping down that you commonly experience from a dentist appointment.
How this impacts you: Since your whole face will not be numb after your dental visit, you won't have to wait long before you can speak or drink something without drooling, nor will you have a fat lip and lopsided face!
The experiences of dental injections have been terrible for many people: The 'bee sting' torture is not a part of the STA system, which uses its computer to automate and regulate the delivery of anesthesia! The doses of anesthesia are delivered under your threshold of pain – no awful dental syringe is used at all.
First a little spray numbs the gum, which is followed by a computer-controlled, slow release of small doses of anesthesia. You will feel absolutely nothing.
