Dr Phillips utilizes the latest in decay removal to make your visit as comfortable as possible. In many cases you won't even need to be numb! For shallow decay a technique called air abrasion can be used, read more about it below.

One advantage of air abrasion is that you don't hear any noise or feel any vibration.
- Most procedures can be done without anesthesia or needles.
