For many patients, the hardest part of dental care isn’t the procedure—it’s the freezing. Whether you’re coming in for a filling, crown, or deep cleaning, the needle tends to steal the spotlight.

The sharp pinch. The sudden pressure. That lingering, numb-all-over sensation that leaves your lips, cheeks, and even your tongue feeling like they don’t quite belong to you.

At Toothworks Dentistry, we offer The Wand STA Single Tooth Anesthesia® System – with your comfort in mind. This digital technology delivers precise, pain-free dental freezing without the sting, pressure, or heavy numbing that makes so many patients dread the appointment.

If dental anxiety has ever made you hesitate to book care, or if you’ve simply wished freezing could feel less intense, The Wand is your solution.

We’re excited to explain to you how The Wand STA works, who it’s ideal for, and how it’s helping us redefine pain-free dental care in Edmonton.

The Wand STA Single Tooth Anesthesia system is a computer-assisted technology that replaces the traditional syringe. It looks more like a pen than a needle and uses advanced pressure control to deliver anesthetic gently, often without patients even realizing it’s happening.

It’s especially helpful for procedures that only require localized freezing, like cavity fillings or deep cleanings, where traditional numbing would usually affect your entire cheek, tongue, and speech for hours afterward.

You’ve probably seen the traditional syringe. It hasn’t changed much in decades, and it’s not exactly designed with comfort in mind.

Here’s how The Wand changes the experience:

Instead of numbing your whole jaw, it targets just the tooth that needs treatment. The system uses real-time feedback to monitor flow rate and pressure, allowing it to deliver anesthetic below your pain threshold—with a level of precision that’s difficult to match manually.

✅ No sharp sting
✅ No sudden pressure
✅ No hours of cheek-numbing aftermath

In short, The Wand is dentistry’s upgrade to the freezing experience. It’s controlled, comfortable, and designed to make numbing feel smooth, quiet, and barely noticeable.

The technology is backed by clinical research and trusted by dental teams worldwide, but the best feedback comes from our patients. Once they’ve tried The Wand, they always ask for it again. In fact, we have new patients drive in from out of town for the “magic wand!”

If you’ve ever flinched at the sight of a needle, gripped the chair a little tighter during freezing, or walked out of your appointment unable to speak clearly for hours—you understand the importance of this technology.

The STA Single Tooth Anesthesia system is especially helpful for:

🟢 Patients with dental anxiety: The Wand doesn’t look or feel like a traditional syringe, making it far less intimidating, especially for those who’ve had negative past experiences.

🟢 Anyone sensitive to pain or pressure: Because the system delivers anesthetic slowly and below the pain threshold, even patients who usually struggle with freezing describe it as surprisingly easy.

🟢 Kids, teens, and needle-shy adults: The pen-like design and gentle delivery make it a great option for younger or more nervous patients who might otherwise avoid dental care.

🟢 People who hate the lingering numbness: By targeting only the tooth being treated, The Wand avoids numbing your cheek, tongue, or lips so you can leave the office and get on with your day.

The Toothworks team is always looking for ways to make dental care more precise, more comfortable, and more personal. That’s why Dr. Jenna Wuzinski likes to use The Wand STA System in our clinic.

With advanced training in IV conscious sedation and hospital dentistry, Dr. Jenna has seen how much anxiety freezing can cause—even for the most routine procedures. When she began using The Wand, the response from patients was immediate: less tension, fewer worries, and more comfortable appointments overall.

We believe in gentle care, functional precision, and a commitment to helping our patients feel calm, confident, and in control. Because when your dental experience is better, your oral health outcomes are better.
