Embracing the Latest in Dental Technology

At Riverside Dental Spa, we are committed to using the most advanced dental technologies to enhance your experience and care. Our team is excited to introduce our newest tool: the Air-flow cleaning device. This state-of-the-art technology offers a more effective and comfortable way to clean your teeth by combining air, powder, and water to remove plaque and bacteria.

How Air-flow Cleaning Differs from Traditional Methods

Traditional Cleaning Techniques

Previously, we used an ultrasonic tool to break down hard deposits on your teeth. This was followed by a prophylaxis procedure using a polishing cup and paste to eliminate soft plaque and light stains. While effective, this method can be messy, time-consuming, and may leave a gritty sensation in your mouth.

Benefits of the Air-flow Device

The Air-flow device represents a significant improvement. It starts with a coloured dye to highlight plaque and biofilm, which are key contributors to tooth decay and gum disease. This helps identify areas needing extra attention and allows our hygienists to provide personalised care tips.

The Air-flow device uses a combination of air, water, and powder to gently and efficiently clean your teeth. You may feel a slight sensation from the device, but it’s highly effective at removing stubborn stains from coffee or tea. While the device doesn’t completely replace the ultrasonic tool, it reduces the need for it, leading to a quicker and more comfortable cleaning process.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our hygienists are enthusiastic about using the Air-flow device and are eager to share its benefits with you. During your next appointment, feel free to ask them about this innovative technology. You’ll be impressed by its gentleness and the noticeable improvement in your smile after just one visit.
