A simple way to get brighter and healthier-looking teeth
Air polishing treatment gives a deep, powerful, yet gentle clean. It is designed to effectively remove tartar build-up and stains from teeth to create a polished smile. In some cases, it can be used in place of whitening treatment to brighten heavily stained teeth.
Air polishing treatment uses a high-powered spray to project water, bicarbonate, and compressed air onto the teeth and clean away areas of plaque and gently remove yellow, brown, or grey stains. The spray technology ensures hard-to-reach areas can be accessed and treated effectively in a fast and non-invasive way.
The procedure is completely pain-free and much gentler than a traditional scale and polish treatment, which can cause sensitivity in some patients. It is quick and straightforward and leaves you with brilliantly brighter and healthier-looking teeth in just one visit to the practice.
Air polishing is completely pain-free and much more comfortable than a traditional scale and polish treatment. As no tools or instruments come into contact with your teeth, it is a great choice for people with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety.
While traditional scaling focuses on removing hard tartar (calculus) with physical tools, Air polishing provides a deep and powerful clean without directly touching the tooth surface. It can also lift stubborn stains caused by tea, coffee, tobacco, and red wine for comprehensive results.
A typical air polish treatment is very efficient and usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes. It is often performed as a finishing touch following a standard hygiene appointment to leave your mouth feeling exceptionally fresh.
Air polishing is highly recommended for people with orthodontic braces or dental implants. The spray can easily navigate around brackets and wires to remove debris that a toothbrush would miss, and it is gentle enough not to scratch or damage your teeth or dental work.
