Innovative Tools for a More Comfortable Dental Experience
Computerized Numbing Using the Wand
Drs. Schuck and Flack often use the Wand, also known as Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA), a foot-controlled, computer-assisted technology for delivering local anesthetic with remarkable precision. Unlike traditional syringes, the Wand allows us to target only the specific tooth or area being treated, minimizing the amount of anesthetic needed and reducing unwanted numbness in surrounding tissues.

Patients appreciate the Wand for its stealthy and virtually painless delivery, especially in sensitive areas of the mouth. The computer system carefully controls the flow rate and pressure of the anesthetic, making the process smooth, gentle, and far more comfortable than conventional injections. This advanced technology helps ease anxiety for patients who fear needles and allows for faster recovery of normal sensation after treatment, so you can return to speaking, eating, and smiling with confidence.
