At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre, we’re proud to offer the latest in professional dental cleaning with air-powered tooth polishing, a modern alternative to traditional scaling and polishing that’s both comfortable and highly effective.

What is air-powered tooth polishing?

Air polishing is a non-invasive cleaning technique that uses a controlled stream of air, water and specially formulated powder to polish teeth and remove surface stains.

Unlike traditional methods that use abrasive pastes and rubber cups, air polishing offers a gentler, more even clean that is particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.

Meet the technology: NSK Prophy-Mate Neo

We use the NSK Prophy-Mate Neo system, which combines comfort-focused design with outstanding polishing performance. This system uses FLASH pearl^® powder, a unique polishing agent made from spherical particles that roll smoothly over the tooth surface.

Key benefits of FLASH pearl^®:

Gentle yet powerful cleaning
Removes stains, plaque and calculus quickly
Spherical shape reduces risk of damage to teeth and gums
Natural-tasting and sodium-free
Leaves you with a noticeably fresher mouthfeel

Perio-Mate sub-gingival cleaning

We also offer advanced sub-gingival cleaning with the NSK Perio-Mate system, designed specifically to clean below the gum line where plaque biofilm often accumulates and causes gum disease.

Perio-Mate uses a gentle glycine-based powder and ultrafine water spray to target and remove plaque biofilm in periodontal pockets. The procedure maintains comfort while avoiding trauma to soft tissue and root surfaces, which makes it perfect for patients with sensitive gums.
