At Scheer Dentistry, we understand that some patients avoid dental care because they dislike getting anesthetic shots or have had negative experiences in the past where they were not numb enough for a procedure. That’s why our dentist, Dr. Brick Scheer, is proud to use “The Wand,” a computer-assisted anesthesia technique to ensure that you are numb for your treatment. For your comfort, we also do offer nitrous oxide if requested.

Innovative Anesthetic Techniques for Pain-Free Dental Treatments

Many dental treatments require numbing the affected and surrounding area to minimize any discomfort the patient may experience. In the past, the most common way to achieve this was to give a shot. For those who do not like shots or who have a hard time getting numb, this whole process may prove to be more uncomfortable than the treatment itself. At our practice, we care about your comfort, and we want to ensure that your treatments are as pain-free as possible.

Our dentist is pleased to use a computer-assisted anesthetic program called “The Wand.” By using a small, pen-like tool, our dentist can accurately insert the anesthesia needle into the correct location. However, unlike other shots, The Wand begins administering anesthesia before the needle penetrates the tissue; this means that you will not even feel the initial puncture. The Wand will also regulate the amount of anesthesia to ensure that you receive just the right amount.

Most traditional anesthesia solutions use a compound called lidocaine, which is only about 85% effective on patients. The Wand, however, uses something called articaine, which has about a 98% effective rate. If you have had experiences in the past where you were not completely numb for your treatment, or if your anesthesia wore off, The Wand is right for you.

Your Local Solution for Comfortable Dental Procedures in Wichita

Living in Wichita comes with its own unique challenges, and for many residents, anxiety regarding dental procedures can be a significant barrier to receiving the care they need. We understand that many locals have expressed concern about the comfort level associated with traditional anesthetic methods, which prompted our approach at Scheer Dentistry. Understanding the local demographics and recent reports from the Sedgwick County Health Department about common dental anxieties, we strive to ensure every patient feels safe and at ease during their visits.

Wichita, known for its welcoming community spirit, also faces the challenge of limited access to pain-free dental solutions.

We want residents in places like College Hill and Riverside to know they can come to us for their dental care without fear of discomfort.

Moreover, our use of The Wand's computer-assisted anesthetic technique aligns with what many Wichita residents have been looking for: a way to eliminate the anxiety tied to traditional shots.
