Leaving the hygienist with a fresh mouth is a rejuvenating feeling.
Attending routine cleanings to remove plaque not only gives you bright and beautiful-looking teeth but also reduces halitosis and your risk of gum disease.
If it’s been a while since you last saw the hygienist, that’s not a problem – our friendly and talented hygienists will get you back on track with your oral health.
How can we help?
Scale and polish
Our hygienists have a gentle approach when it comes to removing plaque from your gum line, because there are very few things that are worse than feeling uncomfortable as you’re having your teeth cleaned. We will use special ultrasonic scaling tools to set your gums free from plaque, reducing your gum disease risk.
Swiss innovation – Airflow® tooth polishing
Innovated in Switzerland, our Airflow® GBT polishing system provides an ultra-deep clean for plaque in between teeth and at the very back of the mouth. This is particularly beneficial for patients who might not have visited in a while, or who have a lot of plaque buildup.
This method of cleaning is the most gentle out there, and as well as cleaning your teeth of harmful bacteria, it works wonders on dental appliances like crowns, veneers and braces.
Airflow® is well-known for its powerful capability against the most tenacious stains – think deep tea, coffee and smoking-related staining, as well as general staining that we sustain over time.
Therapy for your teeth
Many of our patients tell us that their teeth and mouth feel so refreshed after their hygiene appointment that it feels akin to going to a spa!
With the plaque removed from your gum line, your teeth will feel freshly polished, and any bacteria causing bad breath will be eradicated. You will also notice lifestyle-related stains (tea/coffee, smoking and wine staining) significantly improve after your hygiene cleaning appointments.
FAQs
How does Airflow® work?
After your teeth have been scaled, the Airflow® system focuses a high-pressure jet of water, air, and bicarbonate on the surfaces of your teeth to gently eliminate stains and allow your natural enamel to shine through. It also reaches those hidden areas between teeth to ensure all dirt and bacteria are removed. The treatment is topped off with a tooth polish.
Many patients choose to complement their Airflow® stain removal with a further teeth whitening treatment to lighten the colour of the enamel.
To keep your teeth fresher and cleaner for longer, try to avoid smoking and dark-coloured food and drink, and make sure you clean your teeth thoroughly.
