Airflow Polishing

Airflow polishing is a gentle and pain-free procedure, so you won’t feel any pain during treatment. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that can feel abrasive, the spray of air and powder is non-invasive and comfortable for most patients.

A traditional scale and polish uses tools to scrape away hard tartar. Airflow polishing is a different technique that uses a gentle stream to remove softer plaque and surface stains. It is often used as a final step after a scale and polish to achieve a more thorough clean and a brighter finish.

Airflow treatment is generally suitable for most patients, including those with braces or dental restorations like crowns and veneers. It is a very gentle and safe treatment that cleans all areas of your mouth without causing any damage.

Airflow polishing treatment is very effective at removing surface stains from your teeth, which leaves them looking noticeably whiter and brighter. However, it is important to note that it is not a professional whitening treatment and will not change the natural shade of your teeth.
