Your Air Polishing Appointment
Air Polishing is a quick, comfortable procedure that delivers immediate results. During your appointment, your clinician will use a specialised hand held tool with EMS Airflow technology that combines air, water and fine powder to gently remove surface stains, plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums.
The process takes around 30 to 60 minutes and is completely pain free there’s no scraping or drilling involved. The fine powder is directed precisely where needed, even reaching areas that are difficult to clean during everyday brushing.
After treatment, your teeth will feel noticeably smoother and your mouth refreshed. It’s an excellent option for maintaining a bright smile or as preparation for whitening and other cosmetic treatments. To keep results at their best, many patients choose to include Air Polishing as part of their regular hygiene care.

Your Air Polishing Journey
Before & During Treatment
Your visit begins with a brief assessment of your teeth and gums to confirm EMS Airflow Polishing is right for you. We then protect your lips and cheeks and use a precise hand tool that combines air, water and a fine powder to lift stains and biofilm. There is no scraping or drilling. Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes and patients describe the sensation as light and comfortable.
Aftercare & Ongoing Maintenance
You’ll leave with teeth that feel exceptionally smooth and look noticeably brighter. Avoid strongly coloured food and drink for a few hours, then resume normal brushing and flossing. Many patients choose Air Polishing every 3 to 6 months as part of their hygiene routine and it’s an excellent primer before whitening or other cosmetic treatments.
Many patients choose to book cosmetic stain removal before weddings, holidays, or important events for that extra polish and brightness. Appointments can be booked directly with our hygienists through our Direct Access service, with early morning slots available from 8am every day.

Air Polishing FAQ's
- Is Air Polishing the same as whitening?
-
No. Air Polishing removes surface stains and plaque to restore your teeth’s natural brightness. Whitening changes the underlying tooth shade. Many patients have Air Polishing first for the best whitening results.
- Is it safe for enamel and sensitive teeth?
-
Yes. The technique is non-abrasive and kind to enamel. It’s well tolerated by patients with sensitivity and the fine powder and gentle jet are designed for comfort.
- How often should I have Air Polishing?
-
That depends on your lifestyle and stain risk. For most patients, every 3–6 months alongside hygiene visits works well. Your clinician will recommend a schedule for you.
- Can it be used if I have braces, retainers or implants?
-
Yes. Air Polishing is ideal for cleaning around orthodontic appliances, fixed retainers and implant components where plaque and stains can accumulate.
- What happens after treatment, can I eat and drink normally?
-
You can, but it’s best to avoid highly coloured foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, curry) for a few hours. Then continue with normal brushing and interdental cleaning.
- Will it help my gum health?
-
Air Polishing removes plaque and biofilm, which are key contributors to gum inflammation. Used regularly with good home care, it supports healthier gums and fresher breath.
