Treatment Details
Carried out tooth-surface cleaning with “Airflow,” which sprays a fine, dedicated powder together with water and air. Rather than scraping the surface with a metal instrument, the powder blows stains away without force, so it doesn't damage the teeth or gums. Removed not only the staining stuck to the back of the teeth and in the gaps, but also biofilm (a layer of bacteria) that causes tooth decay and periodontal disease, restoring the tooth's natural whiteness and a smooth surface.
Treatment Period / Sessions
Period: 1 day Number of visits: 1 (about 30 to 60 minutes) *As regular maintenance, a visit once every few months is recommended.
Cost
About ¥3,300 to ¥11,000 per session
Risks & Side Effects
Because the powder is sprayed with some force, those with sensitive teeth or gum inflammation may feel a temporary prickling stimulus or a stinging sensation. Also, right after the treatment, the protective film on the tooth surface (the pellicle) comes off, making the teeth more prone to staining, so for 2 to 3 hours after treatment, strongly coloured food and drink (coffee, tea, curry, red wine, etc.) and smoking need to be avoided.
