The Wand - Digital Anesthesia

Pain-free, syringe-free and risk-free dental treatments

Fear of the dentist or the dental surgery is a major problem for both the patient, whether adult or child, as well as for the practitioner. Why?

Because anxiety about going to the dentist affects dental health in the long term, through missed office visits, and it also affects the communication and relationship between the medical team and the patient.

Many people with a fear of the dentist will only visit the surgery in an emergency, such as acute pain or a tooth abscess, and will not understand the impact that missing specialist check-ups can have on overall health.

Fear of the dentist is mainly caused by the fear of pain, which the patient may experience during dental procedures, even though modern medicine now means pain-free treatments that are much quicker and more effective. It is therefore self-evident how important the dentist's administration of anesthesia is in providing the comfort that the patient needs to feel safe and to accept dental treatments.

What is The Wand anesthesia?

The Wand (Computer Guided Anesthesia System) is the latest technology in dental anesthesia. We all know that traditional syringe anesthesia also works on the tongue, cheek or lip.

By using The Wand technology, the dentist has the option to numb only one tooth without affecting other areas of the oral cavity, which contributes substantially to patient comfort.

The computerized system precisely doses the speed and amount of anesthetic injected, making the effect much faster and more effective. In this way, the patient can immediately return to their daily routine without waiting for the anesthesia to wear off.

The Wand - pain-free dentistry

The main benefit of The Wand is that the system concentrates the anesthetic substance around the tooth of interest without numbing the surrounding soft parts such as lips, tongue and cheeks.

This type of anesthesia system is suitable for anxious patients, as the injection of the substance is very slow and painless.

This means that The Wand digitally-assisted anesthesia can also be used for children, who may be more acutely afraid of the dentist. Children are generally afraid of anything that stimulates their senses very strongly, for example bright lights, noises, very pungent smells. These fears are compounded by the fear of needles and syringes, so it is sometimes difficult for the dentist to convince a child to accept anesthesia.

Benefits of using The Wand for patients

More comfort and less anxiety. The Wand is much more comfortable than the syringe. Because it eliminates collateral numbing, it greatly reduces the patient's anxiety about the dental treatment they are undergoing.

More efficient use of time. The Wand improves clinical efficiency with superior results to dental syringe anesthesia. The patient can return to their daily activities without the discomfort of conventional anesthesia.

Increased accuracy and greater satisfaction. Aware that the system offers increased accuracy, patients are more satisfied and trust in the dental clinic thanks to this technology.
