Teeth Air Polishing in Fraserburgh
For a brighter smile and a fresh, clean feel!
Air Polishing for Teeth
Brushing, flossing, and mouthwash are great daily habits, but dentists still recommend professional cleanings for a reason. However, traditional methods can feel uncomfortable with scraping tools and gum sensitivity, making the experience unpleasant. Air polishing teeth at Fraserburgh Dental Care offers an innovative and gentle alternative. This technique leaves teeth feeling smooth, clean, and fresh without the poking or scraping of clunky metallic tools. It’s a painless way to keep dental hygiene in top shape while ensuring a brighter, healthier smile that lasts.
Your Treatment Explained
Air polishing is a gentle, advanced technique that cleans teeth without direct contact with enamel or gums. A mix of pressurised air, water, and specialised air polishing powder removes plaque, tartar, and stains from tooth and gum surfaces, leaving teeth smooth and polished. It has two main parts:
The Air Polish Jet: A pressurised stream of air, water, and cleaning powder loosens stubborn debris and stains easily.
The Powder: A fine, mildly abrasive powder, often pleasantly flavoured like lemon, cleans effectively. Common powders include sodium bicarbonate, osspray calcium, sodium phosphosilicate, and erythritol for safe and thorough polishing.
The Right Candidate
Airflow jet teeth polishing may be helpful in the following cases:
- Staining from smoking or coffee/tea: Those who smoke or consume tea and coffee regularly often struggle with stubborn stains. Airflow polishing helps remove these effectively without harming enamel.
- For sensitive teeth: A gentle option for individuals who feel discomfort or pain during traditional scaling and cleaning procedures.
- Cleaning with braces: Perfect for people wearing fixed braces, as airflow polishing easily reaches areas around brackets and wires that standard cleaning tools might miss.
Fraserburgh Dental Care welcomes patients from Fraserburgh and nearby areas, including Peterhead, Mintlaw, Banff, Strichen, Turriff, Ellon, Stuartfield, New Deer, Rosehearty, Inverallochy, and New Pitsligo.

Other Treatments We Offer
Root Canal Treatment
While a simple filling can often resolve broken or decayed teeth, sometimes, when the problem has reached the pulp or nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is necessary.
First, we will remove the damaged or infected nerve before cleansing and shaping the inner canal to prevent reinfection and then sealing fully. Once the endodontic treatment has been carried out a crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has a large opening after root canal therapy.
Dental Hygiene
Our experienced hygienists have a keen focus on providing first class dental hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gum disease free.
We believe that prevention is key and we will work with you to help formulate a customised oral hygiene plan to suit your mouth and lifestyle. We recommend that all of our patients attend regular hygiene appointments and dental checkups to keep their smiles healthy.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be particularly useful when there is extensive loss of bone support or when multiple teeth are missing. In addition to tooth replacement, dentures can also give support and structure to soft tissues of the cheek and lips, while restoring dental form and function. Our skilled dental technicians will construct the dentures in the laboratory based on our prescription.
