Airflow Polishing: The Modern Dental Cleaning Treatment You Need to Try

Airflow polishing

Have you ever noticed stubborn stains on your teeth that just won’t go away, no matter how often you brush? Do you struggle with plaque buildup even after regular dental cleanings? If so, you’re not alone! Many people deal with persistent tooth discoloration caused by coffee, tea, wine, and even daily food consumption. But what if there was a painless, quick, and highly effective way to restore the natural brightness of your teeth?

Meet Airflow Polishing—a revolutionary dental cleaning treatment that’s transforming smiles worldwide. Unlike traditional teeth cleaning methods that involve scraping and discomfort, it is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that removes stains, plaque, and bacteria using a powerful jet of air, water, and fine powder particles. It’s the go-to solution for people looking for a hassle-free, pain-free, and highly efficient teeth-cleaning experience.

With Airflow Polishing, you can say goodbye to yellow stains, plaque buildup, and gum irritation—all in a single session! This modern technique is especially beneficial for patients with sensitive teeth, braces, veneers, or implants, as it delivers a deep clean without the discomfort of metal scrapers.

At Luxe Dental Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art Airflow Polishing treatments in Lagos to help you achieve a brighter, healthier smile effortlessly. Book an appointment today and experience the difference for yourself!

 

What is Airflow Polishing?

Airflow Polishing is a modern dental hygiene treatment designed to effectively remove stains, plaque, and biofilm from the teeth using a high-pressure combination of air, warm water, and a fine powder (such as sodium bicarbonate or erythritol).

Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, which rely on metal tools and mechanical scrapers, Airflow Polishing is a much gentler process. It does not scratch or damage the tooth surface, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive teeth, dental restorations, or orthodontic appliances like braces.

This treatment is widely recommended for people who:

  • Drink coffee, tea, or red wine frequently
  • Smoke or consume foods that stain teeth
  • Have difficulty maintaining plaque control 
  • Prefer a painless and quick dental cleaning method

At Luxe Dental Clinic, we use advanced Airflow technology to ensure safe, efficient, and professional teeth cleaning, helping our patients maintain optimal oral hygiene with minimal discomfort.

 

How Does Airflow Polishing Work?

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Preparation: The dentist will assess your oral health and discuss any concerns before starting.
  2. Application of the Airflow Device: A small handheld device sprays a high-pressure jet of air, water, and a fine polishing powder onto the tooth surface.
  3. Deep Cleaning: The combination of air and powder gently removes stains, plaque, and bacteria, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.
  4. Gumline Cleaning: The fine powder reaches below the gumline, eliminating harmful bacteria and reducing the risk of gum disease.
  5. Final Rinse and Assessment: Your dentist will rinse your mouth and evaluate the results to ensure complete cleaning.

This process typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, making it one of the quickest and most efficient dental cleaning treatments available.

 

Benefits of Airflow Polishing Treatment

Airflow Polishing is not just about aesthetics—it provides several oral health benefits that go beyond just removing stains.

1. Removes Stubborn Stains Instantly

Whether you love coffee, tea, or red wine, It effectively removes surface stains, restoring your teeth’s natural whiteness without the need for bleaching.

2. Fights Plaque and Bacteria

This treatment removes harmful bacteria and biofilm that contribute to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

3. Completely Painless and Non-Invasive

Unlike traditional scaling, which can be uncomfortable, Airflow Polishing is gentle on the teeth and gums, making it perfect for those with sensitivity issues.

4. Safe for Dental Restorations

If you have veneers, crowns, bridges, braces, or dental implants, this technique is completely safe and will not damage your dental work.

5. Reduces Risk of Gum Disease

By reaching below the gumline, Airflow Polishing helps prevent gingivitis and periodontitis, improving overall gum health.
