At Maida Smiles, our patients know that we're always looking for ways to improve their dental experiences - and we're not scared to invest in technology to make that happen.That's why we've just introduced the AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master into the practice - the latest innovation in dental hygiene and professional cleaning, which promises to make appointments faster, more comfortable and more effective.Now, with us, you won't have a typical scale and polish. Instead, the new EMS AIRFLOW® machine will use a gentle jet of air, water, and fine powder to remove plaque, biofilm, and stains more quickly and with significantly less discomfort.
Most dental clinics still use traditional scale and polish, but we’ve already made the switch. Why? Because 94.1% of patients say they prefer it. It’s quicker, more comfortable, and leaves your mouth feeling fresher every time. No more pain and no more poking around! Your hygiene appointments will be shorter, and your teeth will even be whiter.
In our experience, no patient is excited for a hygiene appointment, and that's typically because they're uncomfortable and even scared. The traditional tools and instruments used in the procedure also make certain patients nervous, especially as they're used to get deep between teeth.However, at our dental practice, that's a method you no longer have to undergo and experience to remove any hard-to-reach plaque or tartar.With the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master, we no longer need to use metal instruments at all. Instead, we'll use a fine jet of warm water, air and powder to remove plaque and tartar, without the scraping noises and usual discomfort.
If you’ve found hygiene visits uncomfortable or tense in the past, you'll enjoy AIRFLOW®. The warm water and contact-free spray make it much easier on sensitive teeth and gums, meaning you can relax more during your appointment and leave feeling a little less sore.
Clinically proven to remove plaque and biofilm (the bacteria that cause gum disease) much more easily, the AIRFLOW® is effective in preventing problems before they start and keeping gums healthy."The AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master has been designed with the highest standards of performance, safety and comfort in mind, being specifically built to deliver the three core treatments of GBT."

The machine is also beneficial for our patients who have received prosthetic treatments like dental implants or dentures. For example, if you have dental implants, the machine is perfect for cleaning around the implant gently but thoroughly, helping to reduce the risk of inflammation and peri-implantitis.
AIRFLOW® is great at blasting surface stains. While it cannot whiten teeth, it can make the need for professional whitening products redundant as it can easily lift coffee, tea, wine and tobacco stains quickly, which means you'll not only live with a healthier, fresher smile but a whiter one too.
Because it works efficiently, AIRFLOW® cuts down time spent in the chair, with better results. For example, one session could last just 20 minutes.
As it's very gentle and non-abrasive, the machine won't cause any damage to existing dental work like fillings, crowns or veneers (and even orthodontic appliances). AIRFLOW will actually be the best and safest choice for cleaning around them.
As it's faster, more comfortable, and doesn't require the use of scary tools, AIRFLOW makes appointments less stressful for nervous patients and has been specially designed to reduce discomfort for patients with sensitive teeth. Reported 95% effectiveness in preventing pain during treatment.Book a hygiene appointment at our London dental practice online, or call 020 3583 9809.
