Ready to give your smile a brilliant boost? We offer a specialised dental hygiene treatment called air polishing. This treatment goes beyond regular cleaning to get rid of stubborn stains, leaving your teeth feeling incredibly smooth and looking noticeably brighter. It can also help improve your gum health and freshen your breath.
Boost your smile
This advanced cleaning treatment uses a gentle spray of water, compressed air, and fine powder to expertly lift stubborn stains and plaque. It’s perfect for removing yellow, brown, or grey discolouration, even in hard-to-reach areas, giving you a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit.
This advanced treatment is the secret to effortlessly removing stubborn stains caused by everyday culprits like coffee, tea, and red wine, revealing a smoother, more radiant smile.
Air polishing is completely pain-free and gentle, and our patients with sensitive teeth find it to be a more comfortable and pleasant experience than a traditional scale and polish.
While the cosmetic benefits are fantastic, air polishing does more than just make your smile look great. It effectively removes plaque buildup, which is a key step in preventing gum disease and keeping your mouth healthy for the long term. Whether you have a special event coming up or simply want to refresh your smile, air polishing is a great solution for a radiant, long-lasting glow.
We are committed to providing you with a comfortable and effective experience, helping you achieve a level of cleanliness and shine you can truly see and feel. Ready to discover the power of a healthier, brighter smile?

Air polishing is a gentle yet powerful way to get a healthier smile. This modern cleaning treatment effectively removes plaque and bacteria, keeping your teeth, gums, and existing dental work in great condition. Below are some of the key benefits.
Traditional polishing uses gritty paste and a rotating rubber cup to scrub away surface stains. While effective, it can sometimes feel abrasive. Air polishing is a modern, gentler alternative. It uses a high-powered stream of air, water, and fine powder to quickly and painlessly blast away stains and plaque, even from the trickiest spots. It’s highly effective at removing stubborn stains from things like coffee, tea, and red wine, leaving your teeth feeling incredibly smooth and clean.
Yes, it’s often an excellent choice for those with sensitive teeth. Unlike traditional polishing, which can generate heat and pressure, air polishing is a non-contact method that is much gentler on your tooth surface. The fine powder and water stream are very gentle, making the experience more comfortable for those who find traditional polishing painful. If you have sensitive teeth and are looking for a way to effectively and painlessly remove stains, air polishing is a great option to discuss with us.
The frequency depends on your individual needs and habits. For most people, we recommend a professional cleaning session that includes air polishing every six months as part of your regular dental check-up. However, if you smoke, drink a lot of coffee or red wine, or are prone to heavy staining, you might benefit from more frequent sessions, perhaps every three to four months. Our dental hygienist can assess your specific situation and recommend a personalised schedule.
Air polishing is a fantastic way to complement a wide range of other dental procedures. It’s an ideal way to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums before cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, ensuring the whitening agent works on a clean surface for more uniform results. It can also be performed as part of a routine scale and polish to remove stubborn stains. Plus, it’s a great way to prepare the tooth surface for composite bonding or veneers, ensuring a strong, long-lasting bond.
Air polishing can make your teeth appear brighter by removing surface stains, but it is not a professional teeth whitening procedure. For deeper, intrinsic stains, you would need a dedicated whitening treatment.
Air polishing is generally well-tolerated by most patients and is considered less uncomfortable than traditional scaling. While some individuals might experience a very mild, temporary sensitivity, the procedure is designed to be as gentle and painless as possible.
