Air Polishing in Bristol

Airflow Dentists at Lodge Causeway

Air polishing is an advanced, non-invasive dental hygiene treatment that gently and effectively removes stubborn surface stains, dental plaque, and early calculus. We are proud to offer premium Air Polish in Bristol, an advanced hygiene treatment designed to gently and effectively remove surface stains.
Air Polishing uses a controlled stream of air, water, and fine powder to safely lift surface stains from the teeth, including hard-to-reach areas between teeth. It is a gentle and comfortable way to enhance the appearance of your smile and is typically used alongside a professional scale and polish as part of your hygiene appointment.
At Lodge Causeway Dental Centre (LCDC), we understand that a bright smile plays an important role in confidence and oral health. Over time, teeth can develop surface staining from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and everyday dietary habits. While regular brushing and professional scaling are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, they may not fully remove external staining.

How Does the Airflow System Work?

How Does the Airflow System Work?
Air Polishing (often referred to as Airflow) is an advanced stain-removal technique designed to gently lift surface discolouration from the teeth.
The system works by directing a controlled stream of air and water through a specialised nozzle onto the tooth surface.

When you sit in the chair for an air polish treatment, the process typically involves:

Preparation: Your dentist or hygienist will ensure you are comfortable and protected during the procedure.
Application: The nozzle is carefully directed over the teeth, removing surface stains and soft biofilm from areas that are often difficult to clean thoroughly with regular brushing.
Result: Teeth appear brighter and feel freshly cleaned, with visible surface staining reduced.

Air Polish vs Scale and Polish

Scale and Polish:

This focuses on removing hard tartar (calculus). The dentist uses ultrasonic vibration or hand scalers to scrape off hard deposits. It is a health necessity but does not always remove fine stains, and the “polish” phase uses a gritty paste and a rubber cup.

Air Polishing:

This is a mechanical cleaning method. It removes extrinsic stains (stains on the outside of the tooth). It cleans the teeth to their natural brightness. If your teeth are naturally yellow, air polishing will remove the stains, but it won’t change their genetic color
