Air Polishing Treatment at Dental Studio Scotland

What is Air Polishing?

Air polishing is a modern hygiene treatment that provides a pain-free, drill-free method to remove teeth stains, surface plaque, and tartar without scraping or discomfort. It’s ideal for those looking to brighten their smile, refresh their oral health, or maintain results after having their teeth whitened.

Using a controlled jet of compressed air, water, and fine powder, air polish gently removes surface stains, biofilm, and build-up from the surfaces of your teeth. Whether caused by red wine, coffee, tea, tobacco, or deeply pigmented foods and drinks, this treatment is an effective teeth stain remover that helps to instantly remove stains and leave your smile looking brighter and feeling cleaner.

How Does Air Polishing Work?

This dental cleaning technique is carried out by a qualified dental hygienist. It combines a fine stream of air, water, and powder particles, often made from bicarbonate, silica, or aluminium oxide, to remove plaque and tartar, remove stains, and neutralise bacteria around the gum line.

Here’s what it targets:

• Surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking
• Plaque and biofilm on the surfaces of your teeth
• Stains from your teeth caused by pigmented food and drinks
• Difficult-to-reach areas, including around implants, braces, and crowns

The result is a deep clean that is more comfortable, more effective, and ideal for sensitive patients.
