‍

What Is an Air Polisher?

An air polisher is a dental device that uses compressed air, water, and a fine powder (commonly glycine or erythritol) to gently clean the surface of the teeth. This technology removes plaque, surface stains, and harmful biofilm from the teeth and around the gumline - without the gritty feeling or abrasiveness of traditional polishing methods.

‍

Unlike the rubber cup method, air polishing is faster, more comfortable, and less abrasive - making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, braces, Invisalign®, or dental implants.

‍

Benefits of Air Polishing

Patients love air polishing because it is:

• Highly effective at removing stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco
• Gentle on enamel and safe for sensitive teeth and dental restorations
• Great for gum health by eliminating biofilm (bacteria) around the gumline
• Fast and comfortable compared to traditional polishing methods
• Safe for orthodontics and implants, cleaning around brackets, wires, and restorations without damage

‍

Air polishing may be the right choice for you:

• Have sensitive teeth or gums
• Wear braces or Invisalign® aligners
• Have dental implants, crowns, or bridges
