Brown Stain removal, airflow polish

 

The AirFlow stain removal procedure is a modern and revolutionary air polishing treatment that eliminates stains and plaque from the surface of the teeth by combining water, air, and powder (sodium bicarbonate or glycine). It can deliver a more thorough clean in less time than traditional methods and is appropriate for persons with sensitive teeth and dental appliances.

In addition to stain removal, the AirFlow dental hygiene technique successfully eliminates dental biofilm under the gumline, which is the primary cause of gum disease. It penetrates periodontal pockets to eliminate bacteria that might cause substantial dental issues, hence preventing caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis (gum disease).

What are the benefits of getting an Airflow treatment?

1.Effective removal of biofilm
Biofilm forms when bacteria colonise dental plaque, and it frequently accumulates around and beneath the gum line. It is the primary cause of gum disease and may lead to inflammation and infection. Breaking down this biofilm has been demonstrated to be critical in treating gum disease and maintaining healthy gums and teeth. If left untreated, it could potentially increase your risk of gum and bone damage, which is more difficult to cure.

Airflow tooth polishing aids in the removal of these difficult-to-reach deposits, therefore enhancing the general health of your gums.

2. Provides a deeper clean
Plaque can collect between teeth and below the gumline, in addition to the surface of your teeth. These should be eliminated on a regular basis in order to reduce risk of developing gum disease. Airflow therapy, fortunately, may be utilised to clean hard-to-reach areas in your mouth.

Your dentist may use the air polisher to target problem areas such as narrow gaps where teeth meet, natural dips and fissures in your teeth, and deep pockets up to 5mm in depth!

3. Removes stain and discoloration
Coffee, tea, alcohol, cola, tomato sauces, curries, and cigarette smoking can all cause staining of the teeth if consumed on a regular basis. This is extremely difficult to eradicate simply by brushing and flossing.

However, by combining air, water, and powder in an Airflow treatment, you may eliminate or reduce surface discolouration. The airflow polisher tackles the stains as well as the biofilm, allowing the natural colour of your teeth to reappear. As a result, Airflow therapy is frequently advised prior to a teeth whitening since it may remove buildup and make whitening treatments more effective.

4. Suitable for sensitive teeth
One of the key reasons why many patients prefer Airflow therapy is because it is gentle on the teeth and gums. In certain circumstances, Airflow can accomplish the majority of the cleaning, reducing the requirement for scrapers. Furthermore, the particles used for air polishing have distinct flavours, making the entire experience more pleasant and enjoyable.

For these reasons, Airflow treatment is appropriate for people with sensitive teeth. Furthermore, the powder might fill up the exposed dentine tubules, which are the primary source of hypersensitivity!

5. Faster teeth cleaning
To expedite the cleaning process, airflow treatment can be used with regular cleaning procedures. Air polishing effectively removes biofilm and discoloration, allowing dentists to focus their scale efforts on hardened deposits. This can substantially speed up the teeth cleaning procedure, resulting in less time spent in the dentist’s chair.

As a result, an increasing number of patients are including Airflow therapy into their dental hygiene appointments.

6. Safe for dental appliances
Brushing and flossing your teeth may be more difficult if you have braces because of the brackets and wires. In this situation, you will enjoy the deeper clean that an Airflow treatment may deliver. Because air may reach around the brackets, the wires are not need to be removed. This teeth cleaning method will not harm the orthodontic equipment.

In addition, Airflow therapy is a safe option for patients who have dental implants, veneers, crowns, or bridges. So, if you’re concerned that your restorations are staining or gathering undesired substances over time, you can your dentist or dental hygienist about AirFlow treatment.

Just moved to the area, I chose Willows Dental Surgery because of the reviews and I can certainly say Willows lives up to all of them. Massive thank you to Stephanie and Yolanda for making me feel at ease and making the whole experience extremely comfortable.
Stephen Tilton
I’ve been coming to this practice and the three predecessor practices at this address for over 55 years. Caring, thoughtful and excellent treatment. Don’t bother going anywhere else.
Jon McDonald
I've been a client at Willows for over 10 years and have been very happy with the service I have received. I've not been blessed with good teeth and have had to have a reasonable amount of work on them but I'm very confident that Filip and his team only do work that is necessary and charge a fair price for the work. Filips approach is to tackle problems carefully and not to make big decisions without thinking through and discussing the options with clients. Thankfully this has left me with teath in much better shape than I would reasonably have expected at this stage in my life! Thank you Filip & Team 🙏

Excellent dentist. Super friendly, great work, no problems at all. The best I’ve tried in Wycombe.

I've been a patient at this practice for over 30 years, and the quality of care has only improved over time. My previous dentist was highly skilled and always produced neat, precise work. Since they left a couple of years ago, I've been seeing a new dentist who is truly exceptional—offering excellent advice, a steady hand, and incredibly tidy, professional results. The whole team is friendly, knowledgeable, and focused on patient care. I wouldn't go anywhere else.This level of care and professionalism is what you'd hope for from any dental practice—but in reality, it's not always delivered, which makes this team stand out even more.

Great hygienist, very friendly staff and lovely practice!
Fergus Cutting
Been coming here for dentist and hygienist appointments since I was a kid. Staff are always lovely and the decor is warm yet professional. There is limited free customer parking but I nearly always get a space. I've moved further away now but always make the effort to come here specifically.The dentist changed recently, but still the same standard of care. Will keep coming back for as long as I can.
Lisa Simpson
My care and treatment at The Willows has always been second to none since my first visit in 2021 after being recommended by a friend and I’ve never looked back. All the staff are so helpful and welcoming and I always feel so well looked after. Treatment is very fairly priced with all options explained clearly. Thank you to the whole team, especially Helen, Neelam, Yolanda, Karen and Stephanie!
Janneke Skilling
Fab clinic! From the moment you arrive, Helen always provides a warm welcome and puts you at ease. Fahreen and Filip are great at explaining everything clearly and give good advice - no unnecessary treatment. As a nervous patient they have been caring, patience a s professional with me through my treatment. Highly recommend. Thanks!
Kay Spreadbury
Fantastic dental practice. I’ve never been the best with dentists due to bad experiences elsewhere, but the team here was incredibly welcoming and completely alleviated my concerns. They were transparent from the start, clearly explaining their treatment approach and associated costs.I had two premolars in pretty poor shape that had been causing me constant pain for a long time. My previous dentist had advised removing them, which would’ve left me with large, visible gaps. After just a couple of appointments with Ilija and Kaz, both teeth are now in great condition. Ilija was extremely thorough and he kept me informed every step of the way. The entire experience was genuinely positive, Ilija even engaged with my very inquisitive 3-year-old, who now probably wants to be a dentist himself!A truly stress-free experience with a lovely team.
