Air polishing uses a combination of air, water, and fine powder to remove surface stains and plaque from teeth. It is faster and less abrasive than traditional cleaning methods.
This technique is gentle, effective, and ideal for maintaining both natural teeth and dental restorations such as implants and crowns.
