Make your smile sparkle with our Airflow® polishing treatment
This straightforward procedure is an innovative way to make your smile sparkle brighter than ever before. Airflow® expertly polishes your teeth, eliminating plaque and staining to achieve a whiter, brighter smile without causing any damage.
How does Airflow® Tooth Polishing work?
Airflow® tooth polishing is entirely non-invasive and applies controlled jets of water to the teeth in tandem with a concentrated flow of air and a very fine powder. Airflow® gently removes staining and plaque from around the teeth, effectively cleaning and brightening the appearance of your smile in a comfortable, pain-free way.
What are the benefits of Airflow® polishing?
Airflow dental treatment is proven to be three times faster than traditional methods, which means less time in the chair for patients.
Using a high-pressured blast of water, Airflow polishing effectively removes stains and plaque. This differs from the scraping tools used in a traditional scale and polish, making it more effective and less invasive.
Traditional scraping methods can be uncomfortable for patients, as it involves digging into gums. Airflow polishing is painless, as a gentle stream of water sweeps the gums, requiring no instrument contact. The absence of direct contact also makes airflow dental polishing ideal for patients with sensitive teeth.
Who can benefit from Airflow® tooth polishing?
Anyone looking to improve their smile can benefit from Airflow® Tooth Polishing, with many patients opting for this procedure as an alternative to a traditional scale and polish. Airflow® is ideal for removing debris from those hard-to-reach places in your mouth. Its gentle nature also makes it suitable for those with braces or dental restoration work such as crowns.
As well as prioritising patient comfort, Airflow® Tooth Polishing is also ideal for use before any scheduled orthodontic treatment. This is due to its ability to remove endotoxins and bacteria from the surface of the teeth.
