I recently completed my Invisalign treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I originally signed up for the treatment in 2023 but struggled to stay consistent and wasn’t able to complete it at the time. In 2025, I was reassigned to Dr. Sejal — and that truly changed everything.

What is Airflow® polishing?

The quick way to revive your smile

Airflow® tooth polishing uses a carefully controlled jet of air, water and fine powder to deep-clean your teeth and remove the everyday stains that brushing alone can’t shift.

Tea, coffee, red wine, colourful foods and tobacco can dull your smile over time. A periodic Airflow® treatment sweeps away stubborn marks, light tartar and plaque, boosting your oral hygiene and giving you that just-cleaned freshness.

What happens during Airflow® cleaning?

A comfortable deep clean, front and back

You’ll relax in our treatment chair while your hygienist directs a gentle stream of air, water and powder over each tooth. Because Airflow® is non-contact, it’s safe for crowns, veneers, bridges and implants. The light abrasive action polishes every surface, even between teeth, for an instantly cleaner, brighter finish.

Does the treatment hurt?

Comfortable for most patients - even those with sensitivity

Airflow® is non-invasive and many people feel only a mild tingling. If you have very sensitive teeth, you might notice brief discomfort, but it usually fades quickly.
