Air/Jet Polish Stain Removal
Stubborn stains from smoking, coffee, tea, red wine, and everyday food can lead to enamel discoloration and bad breath. These stains are often noticeable when you smile, affecting your confidence.
Jet polishing, also known as air polishing, uses a stream of compressed air, water, and fine sodium bicarbonate particles to gently clean and polish teeth. This procedure effectively removes surface stains, leaving your smile brighter and whiter without the use of harsh chemicals, eliminating the risk of irritation.
As an advanced form of scaling and polishing, Jet polishing delivers impressive same-day results, giving you a noticeably cleaner and fresher smile. However, avoid wearing dark clothing to your appointment, as fine white particles may be left behind.
Remove Stains from Smoking, Coffee, and Wine with Jet Polishing (more detailed information)
Stains on teeth caused by smoking, coffee, tea, red wine, and various food items can lead to unsightly discoloration of the enamel. Over time, these stains can dull your smile and make your teeth appear less vibrant. Fortunately, air or jet polishing is a modern dental treatment that can effectively address these issues.
What is Jet Polishing for Teeth Stains?
Jet polishing is a gentle, non-invasive dental procedure that utilizes a high-powered stream of compressed air, water, and fine sodium bicarbonate particles to effectively clean and polish the surface of your teeth. This technique removes superficial stains and debris without harsh chemicals or abrasive tools.
How Does Jet Polishing Work?
The jet polishing process directs a powerful yet gentle stream of air and bicarbonate onto the surface of your teeth, breaking down and washing away stains caused by:
-
Smoking
-
Coffee
-
Tea
-
Red wine
-
Sauces and general food consumption
Unlike traditional teeth cleaning methods, jet polishing can reach hard-to-access areas, including between teeth and along the gum line, leaving your smile noticeably brighter and cleaner.
Benefits of Jet Polishing for Teeth
Jet polishing offers multiple benefits, especially for those looking to enhance their smile without invasive treatments. Key advantages include:
-
Effective removal of surface stains from common substances like coffee, smoking, and wine
-
Non-chemical and non-abrasive, reducing the risk of gum irritation or enamel damage
-
Painless, requiring no anaesthesia or numbing agents
-
Leaves teeth feeling smoother and cleaner
-
Can be completed in a single session with immediate results
-
Suitable for most patients
Is Jet Polishing a Teeth Whitening Treatment?
Although jet polishing brightens your smile by removing surface stains, it is not a teeth whitening treatment. Jet polishing focuses on deep cleaning and stain removal rather than altering the natural color of your enamel. For dramatic whitening results, consider professional teeth whitening treatments that use specialized bleaching agents for a whiter smile.
What to Expect During a Jet Polishing Session
A jet polishing session typically lasts 20-30 minutes, depending on the level of staining and the number of teeth treated. Your dentist will assess your suitability for the procedure, which is usually completed in just one session.
Tips for Your Jet Polishing Appointment
Avoid wearing dark or black clothing to your jet polishing appointment, as the fine sodium bicarbonate particles may leave a light dusting on your clothes. Opt for lighter-coloured clothing for a hassle-free experience.
The Best Aftercare for a Clean Smile
After your jet polishing session, your teeth will feel smoother and cleaner. To maintain your results, avoid consuming staining foods or drinks like coffee, tea, or red wine for a few hours. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings will help preserve your bright, polished smile.
