What is Airflow Polishing and Cleaning system

As a dentist with years of experience, I highly recommend incorporating Airflow Stain Removal as an integral part of your oral care routine to address various dental concerns proactively.

We use the innovative AIRFLOW Prophylaxis system, a game-changing new system offering the gold-standard of dental hygiene treatment.

The innovative spray technology allows for a powerful treatment, dramatically cleaning and polishing your teeth, reaching all those hard-to-reach areas, whilst remaining extremely gentle and minimally abrasive.

There is no better way to keep harmful bacteria (biofilm) under control.

So, what is Biofilm?

Biofilm is a sticky film of harmful bacteria which builds on teeth surfaces in the mouth. The bacteria feeds on the food you eat, especially sugar, which turns biofilm to acid, causing tooth decay.

Biofilm grows every day and is colourless, making it barely visible to the naked eye.

How does AIRFLOW work?

Airflow effectively removes biofilm, stubborn stains, plaque, and discolouration using a combination of water, compressed air, and very fine powder particles. The components allow for gentle yet thorough cleaning, both above and below the gumline, disrupting the bacteria before it can do any lasting damage.

Dental Hygiene Insight

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, our skilled and compassionate dentists employ the Airflow cleaning method to effectively eliminate surface stains arising from common culprits such as tea, coffee, red wine, or tobacco. Stressing the importance of minimizing plaque and tartar buildup, we aim to prevent gum inflammation, a precursor to advanced gum disease and potential tooth loss.

Plaque removal around bridges, crowns, and implants is paramount to maintaining optimal oral health and preserving the longevity of dental restorations. These prosthetic devices, while effective in restoring functionality and aesthetics, can harbor plaque and bacteria if not properly cleaned. Failure to remove plaque around these structures can lead to gum inflammation, known as peri-implantitis in the case of implants, which may result in bone loss and compromise the stability of the restoration. Regular and thorough plaque removal through brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings is crucial to prevent complications, maintain the integrity of surrounding tissues, and ensure the continued success of dental implants, bridges, and crowns.

Rest assured, Airflow Stain Removal is safe for use with various dental restorations like implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges, effectively eradicating stains from smoking or indulgence in beverages such as red wine, tea, and coffee while simultaneously brightening your smile and eradicating dental plaque. Our patients’ comfort is paramount, and we take pride in offering a gentle, noise-free experience devoid of direct contact, pressure, heat, or vibration.

Given its efficiency, air polishing significantly reduces chair time, making it an ideal choice for individuals with sensitive teeth seeking swift yet effective stain and plaque removal. Through our comprehensive approach, we ensure that this treatment can be seamlessly integrated into your dental visit, enhancing both your oral health and overall experience.
