We know that some patients get more nervous than others do at the mere sight of a needle and syringe. Thats why this office now performs anesthetic injections with a revolutionary system called the CompuMed® instrument.

The source of discomfort for most injections, however, isn't the needle, it's the flow of the anesthetic into your tissue. The CompuMed® instrument delivers the anesthetic at an optimal flow rate for a comfortable injection.

The microprocessor inside the CompuMed® instrument automatically ensures a steady flow rate regardless of tissue density. Constant, slow flow is one key to virtually pain-free injections. The computer provides a flow of anesthetic directly ahead of the needle. This creates a pathway of anesthesia so you hardly feel the needle at all.

The CompuMed® instrument allows injections that do not numb the lips, face and muscles of expression. Whether injections make you nervous or not, The CompuMed® instrument helps us provide a more effective anesthetic delivery and the onset of anesthesia is often faster. You're more comfortable throughout the procedure, and we may be able to use new techniques so you won't experience the lingering numbness of your tongue, lips and face.
