		During air abrasion, a fine stream of particles is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth.

		Ask your dentist if he or she uses air abrasion equipment and if this technique is right for you.

	About Laser Teeth Whitening, Dental Implants, Dental Crowns & More in Westfield, New Jersey
		Dental crowns are typically recommended to attach bridges and cover dental implants or root canals, teeth with large fillings, or teeth that are severely discolored or misshapen.
