For healthy teeth that look great, you need a strong foundation. If you’re in the hunt for a stunning smile, the best place to start is with perfect gum health. Through regular attendance with a dental hygienist, you can help to maintain healthy gums, keep your breath fresh, and preserve the natural whiteness of your teeth. Additionally, a dental hygienist can spot problems early on, which will save you money in the long run. Further still, research shows that there is a strong link between high levels of gum health and general health, with gum disease being linked to increased rates of heart disease, diabetes, and strokes, amongst other ailments.

Air Polishing


Air Polishing (stain removal) is a procedure used to remove stains by mixing fine particles with water. This is then ‘blasted’ at the tooth surface, enabling the solution to penetrate in between teeth, working on even the deepest interdental staining. As a non-invasive treatment, patients highly recommend it for its efficiency and thoroughness.

  • Removes up to 100% of dental plaque, thereby helping to prevent gum disease
  • Even more effective than a traditional polish
  • Additionally, Air Polishing is a much more gentle process of stain removal and leaves patients with an evenly smooth surface across their teeth.
  • Air Polishing has proven results to remove even the toughest stains caused by day-to-day drinking and smoking.
