A fresh feeling, with prevention in mind
Air polishing, in every appointment.
Air polishing combines air, water and a fine powder to remove plaque and surface stains. It’s part of all four of our registered-patient hygiene appointments, alongside care tailored to your gum health.
Brighter on the surface
Air polishing is great for surface stain removal, including staining from everyday food and drinks. It cleans the tooth surface without changing your teeth’s natural shade.
Care for your gums
Professional cleaning helps remove plaque deposits as part of looking after your gum health. We’ll assess what you need and explain your care along the way.
Support between visits
Prevention carries on at home. We’ll help you make the most of your brushing and cleaning between teeth, with practical advice that fits your routine.

A few things you might be wondering
Is air polishing the same as whitening?
No. Air polishing removes surface stains and plaque. Whitening changes the shade of your teeth. We can explain the difference if you’d like to discuss your options.
Which hygiene appointment should I book?
Your gum health and care needs guide the choice. If your usual appointment no longer feels right, or you’re booking for the first time, contact us for help.
How often should I come?
There isn’t one timetable for everyone. We’ll recommend a suitable interval based on your gum health and the care you need between visits.
What if my gums bleed?
Tell the team, even if it only happens when you brush or clean between your teeth. We can assess your gums and advise you on the next steps.
