Air Powder Polishers / Prophy Jet
More than just a Scale and Polish: Discover the Power of Air Powder Polishing
What is Air Powder Polishing?Air Powder Polishing, performed with a Prophy-Jet, is an advanced prophylaxis system that uses a precise combination of air, water, and calcium carbonate to effectively remove dental plaque, soft debris, and stains while simultaneously polishing your teeth. This cutting-edge technique provides several advantages over traditional polishing methods:
Thorough Cleaning: The Prophy-Jet effortlessly reaches those hard-to-access areas, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning experience and leaving you with a remarkably fresh sensation.
Superior Stain and Plaque Removal: The combination of air, water, and calcium carbonate has been proven highly effective in tackling tough stains and plaque. You can expect to leave our clinic with exceptionally cleaner teeth compared to a standard hygiene visit.
Key Differences that Set Air Powder Polishing Apart:No Contact: Unlike traditional instruments that rely on rotating rubber cups, the Prophy-Jet employs a high-pressure body temperture water spray, eliminating the need for direct contact with your teeth.No Pastes: Traditional polishing tools often require the use of abrasive pastes to remove stains and plaque. However, the Prophy-Jet utilizes natural, non-abrasive minerals, avoiding the use of chemical agents.No Unnerving Noises: The drill-like sounds produced by traditional polishing systems can cause uneasiness, especially for those with dental anxiety. The Prophy-Jet operates quietly, reducing stress-inducing sounds during the procedure.
Benefits of Air Powder Polishing: Enhanced Cleaning: The powerful Prophy-Jet easily removes soft deposits and stains caused by food, drinks, and smoking, delivering more effective cleaning results. Improved Comfort: Vibrations from traditional polishing tools can be uncomfortable for patients and dental professionals. Since the Prophy-Jet doesn't vibrate, both parties can experience a more comfortable teeth polishing procedure.Pleasant Experience: Unlike abrasive pastes used in traditional systems, the Prophy-Jet leaves no sticky residue or unpleasant taste in your mouth, providing a more enjoyable aftertaste.Sensitivity Reduction: The calcium carbonate in the Prophy-Jet can fill exposed dentine tubules and aid in the remineralization of teeth, potentially reducing tooth sensitivity.Versatility: In addition to teeth, the Prophy-Jet can effectively clean various dental appliances, such as dentures, orthodontic retainers, mouthguards, and night guards.
Prophy-Jet and Orthodontics:The Prophy-Jet is especially beneficial for individuals with orthodontic braces. It efficiently removes plaque and stains around brackets and bands, addressing the hygiene challenges associated with orthodontic treatment. By eliminating plaque build-up, the risk of cavities following fixed orthodontics can be significantly reduced. Rest assured, the Prophy-Jet is safe and does not damage your appliance or teeth in any way.
Brighten Your Smile, Safely:Although not a tooth whitening therapy, Prophy-Jet treatment noticeably enhances tooth brightness. Experience a sparkling, fresh, and healthy mouth instantly with Prophy-Jet, as it effectively removes plaque and discoloration caused by dietary habits. What's more, this treatment poses no risk of damaging your teeth.

Cavitron Ultrasonic Scaler
Experience the Benefits of Ultrasonic Tooth Scaling: Good Vibrations
Ultrasonic tooth scalers are innovative tools that harness the power of vibration to deliver effective and gentle cleaning. Using transducers that convert electricity into mechanical energy, cavitrons utilize magnetic fields (magnetostrictive) to produce smooth vibrations at an impressive rate of up to 30,000 per second. These vibrations are designed to be gentle on your tooth structure, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Precision Cleaning in Challenging AreasEquipped with smaller-sized tips, ultrasonic scalers excel at reaching and cleaning difficult-to-access areas. These specialized tips not only effectively remove plaque and calculus but also aid in eliminating harmful bacteria that contribute to gum disease. With the power of ultrasonic technology, your oral health is in good hands.
The Science Behind Ultrasonic CleaningThe high-frequency vibrations of ultrasonic tips create cavitation bubbles in the fluid surrounding your teeth. When these bubbles come into contact with a surface, they collapse, releasing energy. Research suggests that the energy produced by these collapsing bubbles can be potent enough to destroy the cell membranes of spirochaetes, a common culprit in periodontal disease. In other words, the ultrasonic spray itself may have a lethal effect on these motile pathogens, helping to improve your gum health.
Comfort and ConvenienceOne of the advantages of using a Cavitron system is its unique design that eliminates scraping sounds associated with traditional hand instruments. This makes the cleaning process more pleasant for patients. Additionally, many individuals find ultrasonic scaling more comfortable compared to manual scaling with dental instruments.
Gentle and Effortless CleaningThanks to the ergonomic design and vibration-based cleaning action, there is no need for excessive pressure on your teeth during the scaling procedure. The ultrasonic device effortlessly removes plaque and hard deposits, minimizing discomfort and maximizing effectiveness.
Experience the Difference of Ultrasonic Tooth ScalingDiscover the benefits of ultrasonic tooth scaling, where gentle vibrations and advanced technology work together to provide you with a comfortable and thorough cleaning experience. Say goodbye to scraping sounds and hello to a more pleasant dental visit. Trust in the power of ultrasonic cleaning to help you maintain optimal oral health.

Aiding in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
X-rays, or radiographs, play a vital role in the assessment of your oral health. They provide essential information for our dental hygienists to evaluate bone heights and density, helping to identify any signs of bone loss or deterioration. Additionally, x-rays enable us to visualize hard deposits below the gum line, guiding our thorough cleaning and treatment interventions.
