Newbury Smile Makers Yesterday I successfully treated an 18 year old referred to me by another local practitioner as a "needle-phobic" using RA (“Happy Air”) and The Wand

for "restoration of an upper molar tooth" and the removal of a retained baby tooth.
We interviewed her in the patient lounge area last week to begin gaining her trust.

She then attended for an "RA trial", to assess her suitability and allow her to experience the technique and the feelings it produces.

Yesterday, she was completely relaxed and accepting of the entire procedure without batting an eyelid. The tooth had a large cavity and we needed to start root canal work for her. She was unaware of any of this, though we had told her this might be needed before we started.

The extraction was very simple for her.

Her mother, who was present throughout, was amazed.

Here is a nice testimonial I received from another parent about her daughter’s care helped along with “RA” happy air

I also teach this technique to other dentists. I am The RA Coach !

Jab-Free Dentistry

Painless dentistry & no more dental syringes - really!

In 2004, well ahead of the game, we at Newbury Smilemakers introduced "The Wand" which has been very well received by our patients. "The Wand" is a revolutionary way to acheive painless dentistry without the use of a traditional syringe from the USA. It really is magic!


We believe in bringing the benefits enjoyed by people in leading edge dental practices the world over to our patients in Newbury.  So If I could show you a way to painless dentistry, without a syringe, would you be interested?


This new technology, called The 'Wand'(tm), has been heralded as the first major advance in painless dentistry since the anaesthetic syringe was invented by Cook in 1920!!.

The 'Wand'(tm) ,is a state of the art system which uses a very slow and gentle computer-controlled technique that minimises the anaesthetic dosage needed. This means that it can be used to numb just the area needed, not the surrounding face, so no more feeling as though part of your face has disappeared, sometimes for several hours after treatment. Such a plus if you have meetings to attend or people to speak to after your dental visit.

The Wand, as well as using a completely revoloutionary technique, complies with our stringent cross infection control standards. A new sterile delivery unit is used for each patient. These are then disposed of carefully and incinerated by a licensed clinical waste collection service.
When we first introduced the system, we thought we would use it for youngsters and especially nervous people. It is so good that we now use it routinely and all of our regulars who need fillings or minor surgery have tried it. All of them think it is a huge improvment on the old syringes.

If you wish to try The Wand for your next filling

 please let us know.
