Painless Dental Injections: The Wand Computerised Local Anaesthetic
Dental injections can be a source of anxiety for many patients, whether it's a fear of needles or discomfort from traditional injections. At Hope Island Dental, we prioritise your in-chair experience, which is why we offer The Wand, a state-of-the-art anaesthetic system that is more comfortable, precise and virtually pain-free.
What is The Wand?
The Wand® Single Tooth Anaesthesia (STA) is a computer-assisted anaesthetic delivery system that allows for highly controlled and precise application of local anaesthetic. Its sleek, pen-like design replaces the traditional syringe, providing a gentler alternative for numbing during dental procedures.
Unlike conventional injections, which can cause discomfort due to sudden pressure and uneven delivery, The Wand ensures that the anaesthetic is administered at a slow, steady rate. This innovative system can be used for many dental procedures, including fillings, crowns, extractions and root canal treatments.
How does The Wand work?
Before the anaesthetic is injected, The Wand delivers a small amount of numbing solution to the tissue, reducing any initial discomfort. The computerised system then delivers a steady flow of anaesthetic and continuously monitors pressure to prevent the sudden “sting” that many patients feel with traditional injections. The Wand can numb a single tooth without affecting the surrounding lips, tongue or face, minimising unnecessary after-effects.
What are the benefits of choosing The Wand?
The Wand offers a more comfortable, stress-free alternative, making it ideal for children and patients who feel nervous about getting a dental injection. By controlling the flow and pressure of anaesthetic, The Wand eliminates the discomfort of traditional injections. Patients often remark on how painless the experience feels. With The Wand, numbing of the lips and face is minimal, allowing you to return to your day with little disruption.
