How does AirPolish differ from traditional teeth polishing?
AirPolish uses a gentle stream of air, water, and fine polishing powder to lift surface stains without abrasive scraping or harsh chemicals. Unlike traditional polishing, it’s non-invasive, preserves enamel, and is much gentler on gums—making it ideal for stain removal with minimal sensitivity.
Is AirPolish safe for sensitive teeth or dental work?
Yes! AirPolish is safe for natural teeth, veneers, and crowns when performed by a trained professional. The treatment is designed to be gentle, but we’ll assess your dental history first to ensure it’s right for you.
What kind of stains can AirPolish remove?
It effectively tackles stains from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and even some plaque build-up, restoring a naturally brighter smile. However, deep intrinsic (internal) discoloration may require whitening treatments instead.
How long does the treatment take, and how soon will I see results?
A single 30-minute session is usually enough for noticeable results—your teeth will look instantly fresher and stain-free! There’s no downtime, so you can resume eating and drinking right away (though we recommend avoiding heavily pigmented foods/drinks for 24 hours to maintain results).
Is the treatment painful?
No, the AirPolish treatment is typically pain-free and requires no anaesthesia. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle spraying or tickling feeling. It is an excellent option for those with sensitive teeth or who find the traditional polish uncomfortable.
What is in the powder used?
The powder is a very fine, pleasant-tasting powder, often based on glycine or erythritol. It is exceptionally gentle on tooth enamel and soft tissues but highly effective at blasting away surface stains and biofilm.
Can it remove all types of stains?
AirPolish is highly effective at removing extrinsic (surface) stains caused by diet and lifestyle, such as those from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods. It cannot alter the intrinsic colour of your teeth (the natural shade underneath the surface).
Will my teeth feel different afterwards?
Yes, your teeth will feel incredibly smooth and clean. Many patients also report their teeth feeling lighter and brighter immediately after the treatment due to the removal of surface stains.
Is there any downtime or aftercare?
Is there any downtime or aftercare?
There is no downtime. You can eat and drink immediately afterwards. We recommend avoiding any food or drink that causes stains (like coffee, red wine, or curries) for at least a few hours after your appointment to maximise the results.
Can anyone have AirPolish treatment?
While suitable for most patients, we may advise against it for those with specific respiratory conditions, have a restricted sodium diet (for some powder types), or have certain types of restorations. This will be assessed in your consultation.
Can it be used on dental work like crowns or veneers?
Yes, AirPolish is safe and effective on most types of dental restorations, including crowns, veneers, and implants. It is a preferred method for cleaning around implants as it is gentle on the implant surface.
Does AirPolish whiten teeth?
AirPolish is not a teeth whitening (bleaching) treatment. It is a cleaning procedure that removes external stains, which can reveal your teeth’s natural, brighter colour and make them appear whiter. For a true colour change, you would need a professional whitening treatment.
How much does it cost?
The cost of AirPolish stain removal is typically an add-on to a standard hygiene appointment. Please view our fees page or speak to a member of our team for our current pricing. We see it as a valuable investment for a noticeably cleaner, brighter smile.
Do you offer any finance options for the AirPolish treatment?
Yes, we believe everyone deserves to invest in their oral health. We offer flexible finance plans that allow you to spread the cost of your AirPolish treatment, and any other dental care, over a period that suits you. Please ask our reception team for a confidential chat about the available options and to see if you pre-qualify.
Will the powder taste unpleasant during the treatment?
Not at all. The powders used in the AirPolish system are specifically designed to have a mild and pleasant taste. We often have a choice of flavours to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
