Air Polish
A jet wash for your teeth! A real game changer, an air polish can improve the look of your teeth and help to prevent diseases in the mouth. It is a minimal invasive technique which utilises compressed air, water and fine powder to remove stains and harmful plaque build-up on teeth. Air polish can also be used to delicately clean underneath the gum line, around orthodontic wires/brackets, crowns, implants, fillings and bridges.
