A narrow stream of particles blasts the decayed portion of your tooth. The stream is composed of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture. \u00a0The stream is powered by compressed air that pushes through the dental hand-piece. The decay is displaced by the force of the stream and then vacuumed away through a thin tube.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why Choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/dental-technology.html\">Air Abrasion<\/a>?<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>No heat, noise, pressure, or vibration<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Less need for anesthetics (needles)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Less invasive<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Dry procedure<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Reduced risk of tooth fracturing and chipping<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Treat multiple sites in one\u00a0appointment<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Faster than drilling procedures<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>How Is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/dental-technology.html\">Air Abrasion<\/a> Used?<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Prepare cavity fillings<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Remove old composite restorations<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Prepare a tooth for bonding or sealants<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Remove superficial staining<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/dental-technology.html\">Air Abrasion<\/a> Dental <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">Appointments in West Los Angeles<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">Make an appointment<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Latner<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/\">Westside Dental Associates <\/a>today to discover the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/dental-technology.html\">air abrasion <\/a>difference. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Latner <\/a>prioritizes your comfort and care. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/\">Westside Dental Associates<\/a> restores smiles daily for families throughout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">West LA, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, Rancho Park, Mar Vista<\/a>, and surrounding cities.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have You Been Avoiding the Dental Care You Need?
