Airflow – for freshness you can feel.

Most of us do our very best to look after our teeth and gums with regular flossing and brushing. But despite that, plaque, tartar and debris can still build up in those hard‑to‑reach places in your mouth. That’s why bi‑annual trips to your dentist are so important. But, while once the only option to properly clean your teeth was a scale and polish, the Airflow tooth polishing system now offers an effective, much more comfortable, alternative.

What exactly is the Airflow tooth polishing system?

Airflow tooth polishing is a new, and non‑invasive, cleaning procedure that uses a mix of air pressure, sodium bicarbonate and a controlled jet of water. It quickly eliminates plaque build‑up and dark stains caused by tobacco, tea, coffee, red wine and other staining agents. The Airflow dental system has been specially designed to remove plaque from the areas of your mouth that can easily be missed by brushing alone.

Why might Airflow dental be beneficial for me?

Most people will benefit from a thorough clean by a dental hygienist or dentist at least once every six months. If you have a plaque build‑up on your teeth or you are struggling to reach some areas of your mouth, Airflow is a good option to give you a fresher, cleaner, brighter smile.

‍

Plaque forms when you are sleeping and when you eat and drink. Without regular dental hygiene check‑ups, it can harden to form tartar. It can also cause all sorts of health problems, including bad breath, gum disease and tooth decay. Recent studies have also linked gum disease to wider health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and respiratory problems so it’s vital to keep your teeth and gums as clean as possible.

‍

Airflow could be particularly beneficial if you have tooth sensitivity and would like a polish, but you find a traditional scale and polish uncomfortable. Because Airflow uses air and water rather than dental instruments, it is much less invasive. It can also help to prepare your teeth if you are about to undergo further treatments such as whitening, as well as helping you to keep your braces and orthodontics free from debris. Patients who have tooth implants may also wish to consider Airflow to keep the site of the implant clean.

How long does an Airflow clean and polish take?

Airflow treatment is very quick, with one cleaning session taking around 30 minutes to polish teeth and remove debris. So, in just half an hour, you can walk out of the dentist with a fabulously clean feeling, and a fresher smile.

Will there be any pain or discomfort?

Airflow has been specially designed to be gentle on both your teeth and gums. Your hygienist can control the pressure of the water jet stream during your tooth polish to ensure your treatment is both comfortable and effective. Even patients with tooth sensitivity can enjoy the benefits of Airflow tooth polishing as there is no direct contact of any dental instruments with your teeth.

Frequently asked questions about Airflow tooth polishing.

How does Airflow tooth polishing work?

The Airflow system uses a controlled jet of air, sodium bicarbonate powder and water to gently remove plaque and stains from your teeth. The mixture is non‑abrasive and there is no direct contact with your tooth enamel, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth.

How often should I have Airflow cleaning in Marylebone or Central London?

We usually recommend hygiene visits every six months. If you smoke, drink a lot of coffee or have braces or implants, we may suggest more frequent Airflow treatments. Our Marylebone location just off Harley Street makes regular appointments convenient for patients from Wimpole Street, Soho, Bond Street and nearby areas.

Is Airflow polishing better than a traditional scale and polish?

Airflow provides a more comfortable and thorough clean because it uses air and water rather than scraping instruments. Many patients prefer it, especially if they have sensitive teeth or dental anxiety. However, it complements - not replaces - regular scaling if you have tartar build‑up.

Will Airflow tooth polishing whiten my teeth?

Airflow removes surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, leaving your teeth brighter and smoother. While it doesn’t change the intrinsic colour of your teeth like professional whitening, it gives you a noticeably fresher smile and prepares your teeth for whitening treatments.

Is Airflow safe for people with braces, implants or crowns?

Yes. The gentle jet cleans around orthodontic brackets and fixed restorations without scratching them, making it a great option for keeping braces and implants debris‑free. It’s particularly useful for patients from Regent’s Park, Hyde Park and Westminster who want to maintain their dental work.

Does Airflow polishing hurt?

No. Airflow technology is designed to be gentle on teeth and gums. The water jet pressure can be adjusted to suit your comfort, and there is no scraping. Even patients with tooth sensitivity find the treatment pleasant.

What does Airflow tooth polishing cost in Marylebone?

The fee for Airflow treatment depends on whether it’s included as part of a routine hygiene visit or booked as a standalone service. We’ll provide a full estimate when you request your appointment and explain any finance or membership options available.
