More than 40 million people in the U.S. experience extreme fear and anxiety at the prospect of going to the dentist. Their anxiety is so extreme that it often leads them to cancel their follow-up appointments. For many, their greatest fear is the anticipation of a painful dental injection. Just the thought of an injection makes them cringe.

But what if dental injections didn’t have to hurt? According to Dr. Tammy Perison, “A revolutionary Single Tooth Anesthesia System (STA) available to our patients now makes these painful injections a thing of the past!”

STA is a computer-assisted device that delivers local anesthesia to patients using a slim, non-intimidating wand and advanced pressure-sensing technology. This allows dentists to painlessly numb a single tooth with exceptional precision, without patients having to experience the widespread facial numbness that lasts for hours, which is typical of traditional injections. Instead, they can return home to resume their normal activities, such as eating, working, and talking, without discomfort or awkwardness.

Dr. Perison says that her patients are much more compliant in their willingness to return for their follow-up appointments, which is important to their overall dental health. Regarding their experience, patients are often pleasantly surprised when they realize they’ve already had their injection and didn’t feel it. “What’s more, STA’s modern design and pain-free patient experience enhances trust between dentists and their patients,” says Dr. Perison.

The STA System redefines the dental experience, making it more comfortable for patients of all ages. To say goodbye to the fear of needles and hello to stress-free visits, call Tammy Perison, DDS, at Family and Cosmetic Dental Care at 716-674-5256 in West Seneca, or at 716-662-7651 in Orchard Park.
