Introducing the numbing dental wand, a significant evolution in dental technology that has transformed the patient experience at OptiSmile. This computer-controlled single-tooth anaesthesia (STA) system offers a more precise and often sensation-free numbing process, revolutionising dental procedures. Before its introduction, many patients experienced apprehension due to the discomfort associated with traditional injections. However, the dental wand has been a game-changer. It immediately numbs a specific tooth, leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected and eliminating the unpleasant numbness post-procedure. This innovative approach to anaesthesia has significantly reduced patient anxiety and discomfort, redefining the dental experience at OptiSmile.

The dental numbing wand is a computer-controlled single-tooth anaesthesia (STA) system that revolutionises your dental experience, making it more comfortable and relaxed. It delivers a steady flow of anaesthetic, offering a more agreeable, often sensation-free numbing process. Thanks to computer-controlled delivery, our dentists can administer anaesthesia evenly without any stinging sensation that is usually associated with injections. The wand used for this procedure allows for single-tooth anaesthesia, which means that only one tooth is numbed before treatment instead of multiple teeth and surrounding tissues like cheeks, lips, and tongue.
The dental wand and traditional dental injections provide anaesthesia in the mouth for dental procedures, yet their experiences are distinctly different.
The dental wand is a computer-controlled single-tooth anaesthesia (STA) system that can numb a tooth without affecting adjacent tissues. The system dispenses a steady flow, resulting in a more pleasant, sensation-free numbing process. The numbing effect is immediate, and the computer-regulated delivery ensures smooth and consistent flow, thus relieving the stinging sensation typically associated with injections.
In contrast, traditional dental injections tend to numb a larger area, often including multiple teeth and surrounding tissues. This can lead to an uncomfortable prolonged numbness in the cheeks, lips, and tongue, lasting several hours after the procedure. The injection process can also cause discomfort due to the sudden release of the anaesthetic, often resulting in a stinging sensation, not to mention a dentist’s hand movement. Therefore, traditional injections might cause more anxiety and discomfort for patients.
At OptiSmile, we’re committed to taking extra steps to enhance your comfort during dental procedures. We understand the fear and anxiety that can be associated with the use of traditional syringes. That’s why we’ve integrated The Wand Single Tooth Anaesthesia as a preliminary stage in our numbing procedures, setting a new standard in patient care.
Our unique approach involves using The Wand as a precursor to regular syringes. This innovative device allows for a slow and gentle administration of anaesthesia. By introducing this level of care, we can ensure that the area is effectively numbed before proceeding with any other procedures involving a regular syringe. This strategy allows us to minimise any potential discomfort, putting our patients at ease and making their visit to OptiSmile a positive one.
This dual-layer approach to anaesthesia not only increases comfort but also contributes to a smoother, more seamless dental experience. The Wand’s technology, combined with our skilled team’s expertise, ensures you will hardly notice the numbing process. At OptiSmile, we’re transforming how dental procedures are perceived and experienced – striving towards a world where dental appointments are painless and anxiety-free. Each visit to OptiSmile is a step towards this goal as we continue to redefine dental procedures, one comfortable and painless experience at a time.

The dental numbing wand is an excellent choice for children as it alleviates the anxiety associated with traditional injections. Its precision control allows for a less painful and targeted numbing procedure, which means only the tooth being treated is numbed, preventing facial numbness and reducing the risk of accidental mouth damage. Furthermore, the dental numbing wand works instantly, allowing for quicker treatment completion. The wand’s optimal flow rate ensures a comfortable injection, creating a pathway of anaesthesia that minimises discomfort for your child.
Yes, the dental numbing wand is quicker than traditional injections. Traditional injections require a waiting period for anaesthesia to take effect, while the numbing effect of the dental wand is immediate. This allows dental procedures to commence immediately, which means less time spent in the dentist’s chair and more time doing what you love.
