• Deliver a precise cleaning action that works gently on your teeth. This is particularly effective for eliminating heavier plaque and tartar deposits.
• Remove stains, leaving brighter and healthier-looking teeth.
• Help to prevent gum disease.
• Render your teeth stain-free before teeth whitening treatment.

Airflow®: How does it work?

A mixture of compressed air, powder particles and water is used to carefully jet-wash the stains and deposits from your mouth.

Your questions answered

Will Airflow® polishing work on restorations?

One of the many advantages of Airflow® polishing is that it will work on restorations like crowns, bridges and veneers.

Will Airflow® polishing help to banish bad breath?

As it reaches the deepest nooks and crannies of your mouth, Airflow® can result in fresher breath, as bacteria build-up will be addressed. This can be highly beneficial for your confidence, helping you to feel more relaxed around others and more able to improve your personal and professional relationships.

Am I a suitable candidate for Airflow® polishing?

We recommend Airflow® for patients who wish to keep surface stains at bay and who have deep stains that might not be as easy to remove with a traditional hygiene clean (a scale and polish) alone. Patients with higher risk factors for gum disease are also great candidates for this mode of cleaning, as it will remove larger areas of plaque build-up, helping reverse problems such as red and inflamed gums.
