We’re delighted to introduce Air Polishing, a gentle and highly effective way to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling beautifully clean. This new technology uses a controlled stream of warm water and fine powder to lift staining caused by tea, coffee, red wine and smoking — without the scraping sensation some patients find uncomfortable.
Air Polishing is now available at York House Dental Practice, and to celebrate the launch we are offering a special introductory package throughout January.
Air Polishing is an advanced hygiene treatment used to remove soft plaque and surface staining on the teeth. Instead of traditional scraping instruments, it uses a combination of air, water and a very fine powder that gently cleans and polishes the enamel.
The technique is comfortable, minimally abrasive and ideal for patients looking for a smoother, brighter finish without whitening.
Air Polishing is suitable for most patients, particularly those who:
Drink tea, coffee or red wine
Smoke or have past smoking-related staining
Prefer a gentler experience during hygiene appointments
Want a cleaner, brighter appearance without bleaching
Have sensitive teeth or dislike traditional scraping tools
Want to freshen their smile for an event or before cosmetic treatment
If you have dental implants, orthodontic appliances, veneers or composite bonding, Air Polishing can often be safely used — your clinician will advise you.

Your Air Polishing session is carried out during your routine hygiene visit.
Your Hygienist will examine your gums and teeth to ensure Air Polishing is suitable for you.
Any plaque deposits are removed to prepare the surface of the teeth.
A warm jet of fine powder and water is applied to lift stains and smooth the enamel.
Your smile will feel noticeably cleaner and smoother, and your Hygienist will offer personalised advice to maintain the results.
The entire treatment is comfortable and usually completed in a single appointment.
Most patients notice an immediate improvement in brightness and smoothness.
How long it lasts depends on your lifestyle — especially tea, coffee, red wine and smoking. Many patients choose Air Polishing as part of their regular hygiene routine.
