Airflow® treatment is a very simple and successful way to professionally clean, polish and remove surface staining from your teeth. It uses a fine, pressurised jet of compressed air, water and a fine bicarbonate powder to target stains caused by tea, coffee, red wine, smoking and other dark coloured foods and drinks and gently remove them. The same jet also clears soft biofilm, plaque, and bacteria from the tooth surface, lifting away debris without being abrasive to the enamel. The Airflow® technology enables even hard to reach areas to be accessed and treated, removing calculus build-up and stubborn staining for an overall healthier, fresh and brighter smile.
It is often used prior to teeth whitening treatment to remove all surface stains before the whitening lightens the tooth colour. Together, these treatments give the best improvement in tooth colour and shade.
Initially, we examine your teeth and assess the starting level of staining. We may take photographs so we can compare with your results.
The Airflow® procedure takes around 30 minutes in total, and is completely pain free, without any anaesthetic required at all. We clean your teeth with the focused jet of air, water and bicarbonate particles, gently removing debris and stains, then polish them so they sparkle beautifully and your mouth feels clean and fresh.
After just one short visit, you will not be able to help smiling as you show off your stunningly brighter, healthier teeth. Your results are immediate and visible straight away, making Airflow a popular cosmetic treatment before a special event.
Feeling glad! Read our glowing reviews from our valued patients, sharing their experiences and sparkling smiles with us.
