Airflow tooth polishing in Wanstead and East London.

Most people brush and floss well at home, but even the best routine can’t reach every surface.

Airflow tooth polishing offers a fast, gentle and highly effective clean that removes plaque and surface stains without the scraping feeling of a traditional scale and polish.

Most of us do our very best to look after our teeth and gums with regular flossing and brushing.

Yet plaque, tartar and debris can still build up in those hard‑to‑reach places in your mouth. Airflow tooth polishing offers an effective, much more comfortable alternative to a traditional scale and polish, giving you a freshness you can feel.

Airflow for freshness you can feel.

Even with excellent home care, plaque and staining can develop in the tiny areas that are hardest to reach. Airflow polishing delivers a deep, comfortable clean that leaves your teeth noticeably smoother and brighter from the very first visit.

What exactly is the Airflow tooth polishing system?

Airflow uses a targeted combination of air, warm water and fine powder to gently lift away:

  • Plaque
  • Biofilm
  • Surface stains

It reaches areas that toothbrushes often miss, helping remove discolouration from tea, coffee, red wine, tobacco and everyday food pigments. Because there is no scraping, the treatment feels lighter and more comfortable than a standard clean.

Why might Airflow be beneficial for me?

Most patients benefit from a hygiene visit every six months, but Airflow is especially helpful if you:

  • Have sensitive teeth
  • Find traditional scaling uncomfortable
  • Build plaque quickly
  • Struggle with staining
  • Wear braces, implants or retainers
  • Want a clean before whitening

It also helps reduce bad breath and supports healthier gums - something many patients from Wanstead, Leytonstone and South Woodford ask about during their routine visits.

How long does an Airflow clean take?

A typical Airflow session takes around 30 minutes. You’ll walk out with teeth that feel smoother, cleaner and noticeably fresher.

Will there be any discomfort?

Airflow is designed to be gentle. Your hygienist can adjust the water pressure to ensure the experience is comfortable, even for patients who usually struggle with sensitivity or the feeling of scraping instruments.

  • Cleans around brackets, bridges and implants

Very happy with the results of the treatment, which overall went very smoothly.

I have been going to Ace Dental for 4 years and the service there has always been great; I definitely recommend these dentists in Wanstead and the people at the reception are always accommodating and helpful. I did the whitening there 3 years ago and more recently I did the Invisalign treatment and was followed by Dr Gian Marco who is always reassuring and provides good advice. Very happy with the results of the treatment, which overall went very smoothly.

My experience was excellent from start to finish.

I recently visited Ace Dental for a broken tooth, and my experience was excellent from start to finish. Dr. Nassim thoroughly assessed all my teeth and performed the extraction with great care. The entire process was pain-free, and Dr. Nassim was extremely professional and reassuring throughout. I truly appreciate the quality of care I received and highly recommend this clinic.

Frequently asked questions about Airflow tooth polishing.

How often should I have Airflow cleaning?

Many people benefit from a hygiene visit every six months. If you smoke, drink a lot of coffee or wear braces or implants, we may recommend more regular appointments at our Wanstead clinic.

Is Airflow better than traditional scaling?

Airflow is more comfortable and excellent for stain removal, especially if you’re anxious or sensitive. If you have tartar build-up, we may combine Airflow with traditional scaling for the best result.

Will Airflow whiten my teeth?

Airflow removes surface stains, so teeth look brighter after treatment. It does not change the natural tooth shade, but it’s the perfect first step before whitening.

Is Airflow safe for braces, implants or crowns?

Yes. Airflow is gentle and safe around fixed braces, dental implants, bridges and crowns. Many patients across South Woodford and Walthamstow choose it to keep their dental work clean.

What does Airflow cost in Wanstead?

Fees vary depending on whether Airflow is part of your regular hygiene visit or booked on its own. We’ll provide a clear quote when you request your appointment.

What is Airflow Tooth Polishing and what are its advantages?

Even the healthiest teeth can display a few imperfections and quite often, these imperfections are the result of our lifestyle choices. The most common flaws with healthy teeth are stains. Most adults have them from time to time and they are most often caused by consuming things like coffee and red wine. Then we have the smokers. All of these substances stain our teeth and may even give them a yellowing appearance. Ace Dental has a solution for every dental problem – and that includes removing stains with Airflow tooth polishing. Give your teeth the celebrity treatment and get them clean and sparkling again.

Airflow Tooth Polishing is a cleaning technique for your teeth that is non-invasive and gentle on your teeth. It involves the use of air pressure, sodium bicarbonate and controlled water pressure to effectively blast the stains from your teeth and remove other bits of gunk and debris in the process. Not only does Airflow Tooth Polishing remove stains, it is also effective at cleaning off plaque and giving your teeth a beautifully clean feeling without damaging the protective tooth enamel. Advantages Of Airflow Tooth Polishing include: The procedure is completely painless. You can clean hard to reach areas, especially between the teeth.

The process is fast and effective. The results are immediate. It won’t damage natural tooth enamel. Plaque is easily removed with this treatment. It is gentle enough for those with sensitive teeth. It can be done on any type of dental work including implants, crowns and bridges. It’s a perfect way to brighten your teeth before an important event or job interview.

Is Airflow Tooth Polishing safe for sensitive teeth, and is it painful?

Airflow Tooth Polishing is perfect for those with sensitive teeth for a few reasons. Firstly, the process itself is quite gentle. That means little or no irritation and bright, clean teeth. It can even help reduce teeth sensitivity as the microparticles used in the polishing process can actually fill in any miniscule holes in your teeth. When these holes are filled, less cold water or air can penetrate the surface of your teeth, which means less sensitivity. Airflow Tooth Polishing is completely painless. Some methods, like scaling and polishing, are abrasive and can be quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are better and milder alternatives for cleaning and polishing treatments for your teeth. Airflow Tooth Polishing does not require any form of anaesthetic or pain-relieving medication before, during or after its completion. It can be done quite quickly in a short visit to your dentist. The products used are gentle to teeth and gums and free of chemicals and other abrasive substances. Airflow Tooth Polishing is also ideal for patients with sensitive teeth. The water and air pressure can be adjusted to a lower pressure if necessary and as no instruments make contact with the teeth, it is less likely to cause any discomfort or irritation.

How long does Airflow Tooth Polishing take, and how often can you have it done?

Airflow tooth polishing is fast and effective. In most cases, your dentist can have you in and out of the chair within 30 minutes. Once you’re done, your teeth will feel cleaner than you ever thought possible. Airflow Tooth Polishing is so gentle that you can have your teeth cleaned with this method as often as needed. Naturally, a good oral hygiene routine is also necessary to keep your teeth clean and bright in between Airflow tooth polishing. Visit Ace Dental for an Airflow tooth polish every time you need to make a great first impression.
