Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished your teeth could sparkle a bit more?
Maybe you’ve noticed some stubborn stains that just won’t budge, no matter how much you brush. Teeth cleanings do just that, but turn out to be painful, messy and uncomfortable at times. Air Polishing Teeth in Keighley, is everything else. This latest technology in dentistry can effectively clean your teeth, comfortably, to leave your smile looking its very best.
What is air polishing of teeth?
Air polishing of teeth is a cutting-edge dental procedure designed to give your teeth a deep clean, much like the traditional ultrasonic teeth cleaning instruments, but without touching your teeth or causing pain. It uses a high-powered stream of air, water, and a specially formulated powder to gently but effectively remove surface stains and plaque. It is a much more effective stain removal method in comparison to conventional cleaning and teeth polishing.
Air polishing of teeth—the benefits
Air polishing of teeth is the state-of-the-art dental hygiene procedure available today. Here is why it is indispensable:
Effective stain removal
This treatment is particularly useful with stubborn stains from tea, coffee, wine, and tobacco.
Gentle and comfortable
The non-invasive nature of air polishing makes it pain-free, with no discomfort, no deafening sounds, and no sensitivity to metallic instruments.
Quick treatment time
Each session is relatively short, usually completed within 30 minutes, so that you get back to your day quickly.
Enhanced oral hygiene
Removing plaque and bacteria from deep gum pockets, and tight contact points in between teeth and other inaccessible areas in the mouth keeps your oral health in good shape.
