Air Polisher

Air Polishing in Austin & Round Rock, TX

At Forest Family Dentistry, we are committed to using the latest dental technology to provide comfortable, effective, and high-quality care. One of the advanced tools we offer during professional cleanings is air polishing, a modern alternative to traditional polishing that improves both oral health and the appearance of your smile.

We proudly provide air polishing in Austin and Round Rock, Texas, as part of our comprehensive preventive dentistry services.

What Is an Air Polisher?

Air polishing is a state-of-the-art cleaning technique that uses a controlled stream of compressed air, warm water, and a fine powder such as glycine or erythritol. This combination gently removes plaque, surface stains, and harmful biofilm from the teeth and gumline.

Compared with the traditional rubber cup method, air polishing is faster, more comfortable, less abrasive, and ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, braces, Invisalign® aligners, dental implants, crowns, or bridges.

Benefits of Air Polishing

Air polishing offers several advantages that make it a preferred method for many patients.

  • Highly Effective Stain Removal- Helps life stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, berries, and tobacco.
  • Gentle on Enamel - Uses fine powder particles that protect enamel and are safe for dental restorations, implants, and cosmetic work.
  • Supports Gum Health - Removes biofilm around the gumline, which helps reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
  • Fast and Comfortable - Creates a smoother, more pleasant cleaning experience compared with traditional polishing.
  • Ideal for Orthodontic Patients - Cleans efficiently around braces, Invisalign attachments, and other orthodontic appliances without causing damage.

Who Can Benefit from Air Polishing?

Air polishing is an excellent choice for patients who:

  • Have sensitive teeth or gums
  • Wear braces or Invisalign® aligners
  • Have dental implants, crowns, or bridges
  • Experience heavy staining or plaque buildup
  • Want a thorough clean before teeth whitening or other cosmetic procedures

At Forest Family Dentistry, we often incorporate air polishing into routine cleanings and periodontal maintenance appointments to support long-term oral health and a naturally brighter smile.
