AirFlow Treatment for Stain Removal and a Deeper Clean

At Gratton House Dental Surgery, we are proud to offer AirFlow technology, an advanced, non-invasive hygiene treatment designed to provide a deeper, more effective clean. This innovative system uses a controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder to gently remove plaque, tartar, and stubborn stains from your teeth and gums—without the discomfort of traditional scaling methods.
‍
Perfect for patients with sensitive teeth or those looking for a comfortable and thorough clean, AirFlow reaches areas that brushing and flossing can’t, ensuring a brighter smile and fresher breath. It’s particularly effective for maintaining dental implants, orthodontic braces, and natural teeth, reducing the risk of gum disease while enhancing overall oral health.
