The Wand Computerized Anesthetic System

Patient comfort is one of our primary concerns, so we are proud to have integrated the Wand into our practice. CompuDent, which is the brain behind the Wand, is a computerized local anesthesia delivery unit. The Wand is actually the pen-like hand piece that administers the anesthesia.

How it Works

Injections can be irritating for many reasons, but pain is the main complaint. With conventional needles, anesthesia is concentrated in a small area until it dissipates and if it’s administered too fast, it can cause discomfort. Another irritation stems from too much tissue going numb, which can leave a patient drooling for hours after an appointment. By managing the flow and volume of anesthesia being delivered, the CompuDent system offers more accuracy for the area being numbed. The Wand, through which the regulated anesthesia flows, does not look or feel like a syringe. A drop of topical numbing agent first numbs the injection site, and then the needle creates a comfortable injection pathway.

Voila!

The Wand helps patients relax before, during, and after procedures. Beforehand, patients have confidence instead of anxiety; during treatment, they receive regulated medication to keep them comfortable; and afterwards, they can return to normal activity for the rest of the day. The Wand – it's like magic!

Here's what our patients have to say about The Wand...

• "I didn't feel a thing"
• "You don't use needles anymore?"
• " It's nice that I didn't leave with my whole mouth numb."
• 'It's much better this way."
• 'This was the best dental experience of my life!"
