Nervous around needles? For a more comfortable injection experience, Ocean Dental provides patients with “the Wand” or computer-controlled injection system. This device offers a painless system for injecting anesthesia, and makes stressful procedures a little less nerve-racking.

What Is a Computer-Controlled Injection System?
The computer-controlled injection system, often known as “the Wand,” is an advanced tool that delivers local anesthesia with greater precision and minimal discomfort. Traditional needle injections can sometimes cause anxiety or discomfort, but the Wand offers a solution by regulating the flow and pressure of the anesthetic. Dr. WonJoon Lee and our team use this technology to create a more comfortable experience for patients, helping to reduce stress and ensure smooth, pain-free treatments.
How the Wand Works
The Wand uses a computer to carefully control the delivery of anesthesia, ensuring a consistent and gentle flow. Instead of administering the anesthetic all at once, the system releases it slowly and steadily, numbing the area more effectively. The device resembles a pen, making it less intimidating for patients who are uncomfortable around traditional syringes. Because the flow rate is so precise, the injection is virtually painless, even in sensitive areas.
Patients often report that they feel much more relaxed with the Wand compared to standard injections. The smaller size and precise control reduce the chance of numbness spreading beyond the treatment area, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
Benefits of the Computer-Controlled Injection System
The Wand offers several advantages over traditional anesthesia methods:
- Reduced pain and discomfort: Gentle, precise delivery minimizes the “pinch” sensation often associated with injections.
- Less intimidating appearance: The device looks more like a pen than a syringe, helping to ease anxiety.
- More precise anesthesia: Numbs only the targeted area, reducing unnecessary numbness.
- Faster recovery: Patients experience less lingering numbness, allowing them to resume their day comfortably.
- Ideal for children and anxious patients: The Wand is especially useful for patients who are nervous about dental procedures.
