Air Polish in Stapleford
A gentle, thorough clean that removes the staining and plaque brushing alone cannot.
What Is Air Polish?
Air polish is a professional cleaning technique that uses a fine stream of air, water and powder to remove surface staining and soft plaque from your teeth and along the gumline. Many patients find it quicker and more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing.
It’s particularly effective on staining from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco. At Concept Dental we use the EMS AIRFLOW® system. We’ll confirm the price with you before your appointment.

What Does Air Polish Treat?
Air polish helps with:
- Surface staining from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco
- Soft plaque and bacterial biofilm
- Staining around braces or retainers
- Build-up in areas that are hard to reach with standard instruments
- A clean starting point before composite bonding, teeth whitening or veneers
Air polish removes surface staining, but it does not change the natural colour of your teeth. If you want a whiter smile beyond stain removal, teeth whitening is the right next step.
Your Air Polish Appointment
We assess your teeth and gums and decide where air polish will help most, rather than treating every tooth the same.
We protect your eyes, lips and soft tissues before we begin.
The handpiece delivers a precise stream of air, water and powder to your tooth surfaces and gumline. Most patients find it comfortable and gentler than scaling instruments.
We check the treated areas, advise on keeping the results at home and discuss how often air polish would suit you alongside your regular hygiene appointment schedule.
Air Polish Before Cosmetic Treatment
If you’re planning composite bonding, teeth whitening, veneers or a smile makeover, we may recommend air polish first. Starting on clean, stain-free surfaces helps with shade matching and bonding. We’ll discuss this as part of your treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does air polish hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable, particularly compared with traditional scaling. Some people notice mild sensitivity around the gumline, especially if the gums are inflamed, and this settles quickly.
Can air polish whiten my teeth?
It removes surface staining, which can make your teeth look brighter and fresher, but it does not change the natural colour of the tooth. For a noticeably whiter smile, professional teeth whitening is the right treatment, and many patients have both.
How often should I have air polish?
It depends on your diet, lifestyle and gum health. Heavier staining from smoking or lots of tea and coffee may call for more frequent visits, and we advise on the right schedule for you at your hygiene appointment.
Is air polish suitable if I have sensitive teeth?
In most cases, yes. Let us know when you book if sensitivity is a concern and we will plan your appointment accordingly.
