Air Polishing & Teeth Polishing
Calgary

What is the difference between traditional teeth polishing and air polishing ?

Air polishing is the modern, ultra‑gentle version — more like a micro‑exfoliation for your teeth. A warm, airy mist of water and ultra‑fine mineral powder lifts away stains and biofilm with almost no abrasion. It reaches areas a traditional polisher can’t, including under the gumline. It is amazing for sensitive teeth, implants, and orthodontics. The experience feels light, refreshing, and surprisingly soothing.

Traditional Teeth Polishing uses a rubber cup with flavored polishing paste to glide over each tooth to smooth away surface stains, it is traditionally used as the finishing touch at the end of your visit.

Benefits of Teeth Polishing

Teeth polishing is a gentle, refreshing treatment designed to smooth and brighten your smile while removing plaque, surface stains, and unwanted biofilm from the outer layer of your teeth and under your gums. The experience is comfortable, quick, and instantly rewarding—your teeth feel silky‑smooth and beautifully clean the moment your treatment is complete.

What Types of Stains Can Teeth Polishing Address?

External (Exogenous) Stains

These are surface stains caused by daily habits such as coffee or tea, red wine, smoking, or inconsistent oral care. Teeth polishing is highly effective at lifting these stains, restoring a naturally radiant sheen to your smile.

Understanding the Limits of Polishing

Internal (Endogenous) Stains

These deeper stains originate within the tooth and may be related to developmental conditions, certain medications, or long‑term absorption of pigments from foods and beverages. Because these stains live beneath the surface, polishing alone cannot remove them. In these cases, a professional whitening treatment is often the recommended next step to achieve a brighter, more luminous smile.
