What is drill-free dentistry? Drill-free dentistry uses a technique called air abrasion to remove tooth decay without the need for a drill. The technique uses a special instrument designed to emit a high-powered stream of aluminum oxide particles which wear away the decayed portion, preparing the tooth for a restoration like a filling or crown.

What are the benefits of drill-free dentistry? One of the primary benefits of air abrasion is that because it does not create heat and friction like a dental drill, anesthetic injections are generally not necessary, making it an ideal approach for patients who are anxious about getting needles. The air abrasion device is also much quieter than a drill, which can also help reduce anxiety. And because the device delivers the stream of aluminum oxide crystals very precisely, surrounding soft tissues are not harmed and more of the healthy tooth material remains intact. Although air abrasion techniques generally take more time than traditional drilling, it is minimally invasive, preserves more of the natural tooth structure and creates a stronger bond of the filling to the tooth. This means a longer lasting filling.

Can air abrasion be used in all procedures instead of a drill? No, although it has many benefits, air abrasion is not always the ideal approach. Because the crystals produce a very smooth tooth surface, air abrasion can only be used with composite tooth-colored fillings, not with metal amalgam fillings which require a rougher surface for adhesion. Other restorations like inlays and onlays also require the use of a drill. In addition, patients with very sensitive teeth or deep decay may have discomfort during an air abrasion procedure and may still require a local anesthetic.

I have never come across a more skilled and caring dentist than Dr. Rathee. She's a brilliant dentist on the cutting edge of her profession. Her dental health assessment is thorough and her treatment suggestions were innovative and hundreds less than what my previous dentist wanted to charge. I'm thankful for her and yes, I highly recommend her.

Dr. Rathee is diligent, incredibly thorough, considerate, precise, kind and skilled. I have thoroughly enjoyed her staff (bright, attentive and skilled) and appreciate the extent to which Dr. Rathee has improved my dental situation in a relatively short period of time. I am wholly appreciative. Thank you!

I have had a complete exam, dental cleaning, and partial crown done by Dr. Rathee and she is FANTASTIC! And everyone I have met in her office is also amazing. She is so thorough, really cares about her patients, and uses every high tech equipment and integrative methods that are less invasive. I came to Dr. Rathee after a few bad dental experiences. I was told I needed a root canal by multiple doctors. I had a full exam with Dr. Rathee, which she took her time, carefully examine every tooth, gum, etc. I was with her for over 1 hour... she really went above and beyond. She tested my tooth in question with CO2 (extreme cold) and realized it still had feeling. She told me she would have to consult with some of her colleagues and get back to me. She personally called the Next Day to let me know that I have an extremely rare condition where the x-ray shows I need a root canal but since she went further to test it, she found that it wasn't the typical case and ended saving my tooth and my wallet! I have since gone in for a dental cleaning, where I am typically used to the dentist walking in poking one or two things and sending me on my way. Dr. Rathee does a THOROUGH check after your teeth are cleaned which is refreshing. She did find one tooth that had a few cracks in it, which no other dentist I had been to mentioned, and I had just recently had a full exam with another dentist. I went in for my first partial crown appointment and it went great. After I was numb, I felt nothing. In this case, she saved so much of my tooth which I am thankful for. She personally called to see how I was doing after my appointment, which I really appreciated!! Lastly, her office is in West Hills, CA and I live in South Pasadena, CA and it's worth the drive, it's worth everything!

A very professional operation. They are very informative of your dental conditions being old and new xrays to view. They are very concerned of your long term health. If that interest you, you picked the best DDS. I know this personally after being with a half dozen others DDS and a 36 years of college student's training on me for there carrier and future DDS degree.

Dr Rathee is an excellent dentist. We noticed the difference when we first changed to her practice from another one. She is very thorough and knowledgeable and she takes her time to make sure that she addresses all the issues. Unlike the other practices we've been to where you feel like you're on a conveyor belt of patients, Dr Rathee and her team give genuine patient care.
