STA: Single Tooth Anesthesia

Cadena Dentistry utilizes several dental technologies that improve office visits for Del Rio, TX patients.  Single tooth anesthesia or STA is a dental anesthesia innovation that makes dental injections virtually painless.  It has been named to Dentistry Today’s Top 100 Products list and the Medical Design Excellence Award Winner.  Our dentists, Drs. Louis Cadena and Valeria Cadena-Vargas want their patients to learn more about STA and how it can improve their overall dental care experience


Dental injections to numb the nerves around a tooth are a significant source of dental anxiety or phobia among patients. Our team aims to reduce dental anxiety with the single tooth anesthesia technology. The STA is a small instrument that closely resembles a pen. The anesthetic delivery system is computer-controlled. The STA uses computer sensors to detect pressure. This gives your dentist the ability to adjust to just the right pressure to apply to insert a needle into the gum for numbing.


In addition to the adjustability of the pressure, the dentist can also change the flow rate of the anesthetic medication into the gum. This allows him to determine the appropriate amount of anesthetic that will fully numb your tooth without unnecessarily numbing surrounding teeth, which can increase recovery time. This means you can return to work or school without the dreaded lip numbness, plus your tooth will be repaired and healthy.


When it comes to numbing your tooth and successfully treating a decaying, injured or otherwise damaged tooth, Dr. Cadena and Dr. Cadena-Vargas aim to deliver the most precise injection possible. Thanks to STA dental technology at their Del Rio, TX dentist office, they can accomplish just this.
