What is Airflow teeth cleaning?
Quick answer
What is Airflow teeth cleaning and how does it remove stains?
Airflow is an advanced hygiene treatment using a controlled stream of warm water, compressed air, and fine powder to gently lift stubborn tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco stains without scraping enamel.
At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, Airflow stain removal is available as a £35 add-on to your hygiene appointment (from £77). Call 01932 348864 to book.
What you need to know
Traditional scaling removes hard tartar (calculus), but stubborn superficial pigmentation often lingers in micro-crevices. Airflow uses fine powder suspended in warm water to reach interdental spaces, around dental implants, and along orthodontic brackets where hand instruments cannot easily polish.
Because the spray is non-contact and uses warm water, it is gentler on sensitive teeth and exposed root surfaces than traditional ultrasonic polishers. It does not scratch porcelain veneers or composite bonding, making it an ideal maintenance clean for cosmetic dentistry patients.
A 30-minute hygiene visit starts from £77, or £92 via Direct Access if you are not registered with one of our dentists. Adding Airflow for £35 leaves your teeth visibly brighter and feeling smooth immediately before special events or routine maintenance.
