Airflow

Join our family-led practice for expert, specialist dental care tailored to you.

If you are looking for a more effective way to brighten your smile and improve your oral health, Airflow technology offers a superior alternative to traditional cleaning methods.

At Coulthard Dental Practice, we use this advanced system to gently remove persistent and more intricate staining that can build up on teeth surfaces from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco…

Using a controlled spray of warmed water, air, and fine powder, Airflow reaches into the gaps between your teeth and areas that traditional polish may struggle to reach, leaving your mouth feeling exceptionally clean and your teeth looking naturally brighter.

Advanced technology for a brighter smile

Traditional scaling and polishing are essential for removing hard tartar, but Airflow takes your hygiene appointment to the next level. It is particularly effective at removing “biofilm”—the sticky layer of bacteria that can lead to gum disease—without the need for scraping or vibrating tools.

For patients at our Wilmslow dental practice with sensitive teeth or a fear of traditional dental instruments, Airflow is a game-changer. The process is completely non-invasive and painless, making it an ideal choice for maintaining a healthy mouth in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

  • Gentle removal of stubborn surface stains
  • Pain-free cleaning for sensitive teeth
  • Effective plaque and biofilm removal in hard-to-reach areas
  • Ideal for cleaning around dental implants, crowns, and braces

The ideal solution for braces and implants

Maintaining hygiene around orthodontic brackets or dental implants can be challenging. Airflow technology is the perfect solution, as the fine spray can clean around complex dental work much more effectively than manual tools.

At Coulthard General & Specialist Dental Practice, we often recommend Airflow for patients undergoing Invisalign or fixed brace treatment to ensure their teeth remain stain-free and healthy throughout their journey. It is also the “gold standard” for implant maintenance, as it cleans the surface of the implant thoroughly without causing any damage to the delicate metal or surrounding gum tissue.

Your Airflow experience

Initial assessment

Your hygienist will examine your teeth and gums to identify areas of staining and plaque buildup, ensuring Airflow is the most effective approach for your needs.

Guided biofilm therapy

We use a specialised powder spray to gently “wash away” the bacteria and stains from the surface of your teeth, including those tight spaces between teeth.

Final reveal

You’ll be left with a noticeably brighter, smoother smile. We’ll provide you with tailored advice on how to maintain your results at home until your next visit to our Wilmslow dental practice.

Frequently asked questions

While Airflow is not a chemical whitening treatment, it is incredibly effective at removing surface stains that make teeth look dull. Many patients find their teeth appear brighter after airflow.

Not at all. Airflow is a very gentle, non-invasive treatment. It does not involve direct contact with the tooth surface.

An Airflow session is typically incorporated into a standard 30 or 45-minute hygiene appointment at our Stockport dental practice. It is a very efficient way to achieve a deep clean.

For most patients, we recommend an Airflow cleaning every 6 months as part of your routine hygiene visit. However, if you are a frequent coffee drinker or a smoker, you may benefit from more frequent visits to keep your smile bright.
