If your teeth feel rough, yellow or „dirty“ even after brushing, the cause is usually coffee, tea, wine and tobacco deposits that a toothbrush cannot remove. Airflow polishing lifts these stains and soft deposits with a jet of water, air and a fine powder — no scraping, no pain. You see the result immediately: teeth that are smooth, brighter and clean to the touch.
What does the treatment look like? Polishing is part of a professional cleaning: first ultrasonic scaling removes tartar, then Airflow clears every visible and hidden trace of deposits, especially between teeth and along the gumline. It takes 20–30 minutes, needs no anaesthetic and you return to your day straight away.
Does polishing whiten teeth? It restores your natural tooth colour by removing surface stains — which is why teeth look noticeably brighter afterwards. For shades whiter than your natural colour you need whitening, and polishing is the ideal preparation for it.
How often? For most people once or twice a year, as part of a regular check-up. Smokers and coffee lovers benefit from more frequent visits. Regular deposit removal also lowers the risk of gum inflammation.
Painless and safe. Modern Airflow units use a fine powder that does not damage enamel. Most patients feel only a pleasant jet; any sensitivity passes the same day.
