If your teeth have become stained from coffee, tea, red wine or smoking, our professional Air Polish treatment is a gentle and effective way to refresh your smile.

Using a combination of air, warm water and a fine polishing powder, Air Polish lifts away surface stains, plaque and biofilm from your teeth, leaving them feeling exceptionally smooth, clean and refreshed. Available as an add-on to your hygiene appointment at Active Smile, it’s the perfect way to give your smile a boost while maintaining excellent oral health.

What Is Air Polish?

Air Polish is an advanced method of professionally cleaning your teeth. Rather than relying solely on traditional polishing, Air Polish uses a gentle stream of warm water, air and fine powder to remove:

• Surface stains
• Plaque
• Biofilm
• Soft deposits

The treatment is designed to be comfortable while effectively cleaning areas that can sometimes be difficult to reach with a toothbrush alone. Many patients notice their teeth feel smoother and look noticeably cleaner immediately after treatment.

What Can Air Polish Remove?

Air Polish is particularly effective at removing staining caused by everyday habits, including:

• Coffee
• Tea
• Red wine
• Smoking
• Vaping
• Curry and strongly coloured foods
• Soft plaque build-up

While Air Polish removes external staining, it won’t change the natural colour of your teeth. If you’re looking to make your teeth several shades whiter, professional teeth whitening may be a better option.

Why Choose Air Polish?

Air Polish offers a number of benefits, including:

✔ Gentle stain removal

✔ Removes plaque and biofilm

✔ Leaves teeth feeling exceptionally smooth

✔ Helps maintain healthy gums

✔ Comfortable treatment

✔ Great before special occasions

✔ Ideal before professional teeth whitening

Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, holiday or simply want your smile to look its best, Air Polish is a fantastic way to refresh your teeth.

What Happens During the Appointment?

Your appointment begins with a professional hygiene visit. Your clinician will assess your oral health and remove any hardened deposits (calculus) where necessary. Air Polish is then used to gently remove surface staining and soft plaque from your teeth, helping to restore a cleaner, fresher appearance. The treatment is quick, comfortable and suitable for most patients.

Who Is Air Polish Suitable For?

Air Polish is ideal if you:

• Regularly drink tea or coffee
• Enjoy red wine
• Smoke or vape
• Have staining you’d like removed
• Want a fresher-looking smile
• Are considering professional teeth whitening

It’s also a great way to keep your smile looking its best between routine dental visits.

Air Polish vs Teeth Whitening

Although both treatments improve the appearance of your smile, they work differently.

Air Polish

• Removes surface stains
• Restores your natural tooth colour
• Cleans plaque and biofilm
• Leaves teeth feeling smooth and fresh

Professional Teeth Whitening

• Whitens the natural tooth colour
• Brightens teeth by several shades
• Targets deeper staining within the tooth

Many patients choose an Air Polish treatment before whitening to achieve the best possible results.
