AIRFLOW Cleaning for Dental Implants, Veneers, Crowns, and Bridges
The Safest Way to Maintain Your Restorations
If you’ve invested in dental implants, veneers, crowns, or bridges, you already know how much they transform your smile. But did you know that cleaning them requires a different approach from natural teeth?
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we use AIRFLOW®—a Swiss-engineered system designed for precision cleaning of natural teeth and restorations. It’s gentle, effective, and scientifically proven to protect even the most delicate surfaces.
Why Ordinary Cleaning Methods May Damage Restorations
Traditional dental cleaning often involves metal scalers or rubber cups with abrasive paste. While these methods remove plaque and tartar, they can also:
-
- Create micro-scratches on porcelain, zirconia, or composite surfaces
-
- Cause loss of polish or glaze on veneers and crowns
-
- Loosen implant components due to heavy vibration
-
- Fail to fully remove biofilm around implants and bridgework
Over time, these micro-scratches trap more bacteria and stains, leading to gum inflammation, dullness, or even peri-implant disease.
What Makes AIRFLOW® Different
AIRFLOW® uses a stream of warm water, air, and an ultra-fine erythritol powder to gently remove biofilm and early tartar. There’s no scraping, no vibration, and no damage to restorations.
Unlike generic air-polishing systems, AIRFLOW® has medical-grade precision control, ensuring every spray particle is consistent in size and pressure.
Key features:
-
- Non-contact cleaning that protects veneers, crowns, and implants
-
- Erythritol powder that is 14 microns fine—biocompatible and non-abrasive
-
- Temperature-controlled water for maximum comfort
-
- Clinically validated under EMS’s Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocols
Why AIRFLOW® Is Best for Dental Implants
Dental implants require meticulous care because biofilm buildup can lead to peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis, which cause gum and bone loss around the implant.
AIRFLOW® provides a level of cleaning that scalers simply cannot match:
-
- Gently removes biofilm from titanium surfaces without scratching
-
- Cleans subgingival areas up to 5 mm deep safely
-
- Preserves the implant–tissue interface and soft tissue health
-
- Prevents inflammation and bone loss that compromise implant longevity
At Affinity Dental Clinics, AIRFLOW® is part of every implant maintenance protocol, especially for full-arch restorations and immediate-load cases.
Why AIRFLOW® Is Best for Veneers, Crowns, and Bridges
Porcelain and zirconia restorations are designed to mimic natural enamel—but they’re also delicate when it comes to cleaning.
With AIRFLOW®, we can:
-
- Remove stains and plaque without dulling the surface glaze
-
- Clean around margins and beneath bridges without scratching
-
- Maintain the natural shine of polished ceramics
-
- Preserve bonding integrity for veneers
Even high-gloss zirconia and layered porcelain benefit from AIRFLOW®’s precision cleaning—keeping your smile bright, smooth, and plaque-free.
Not All “Air Cleaning” Systems Are Equal
Many clinics market “air polishing” or “powder cleaning” systems and call them AIRFLOW—but not all are the real thing.
The original EMS AIRFLOW® system from Switzerland uses certified, medical-grade equipment and powder formulations that are researched, registered, and biocompatible.
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we use only authentic EMS AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master units—the same system recommended in universities and global dental congresses.
This ensures:
-
- Consistent pressure and powder delivery
-
- Safety-verified erythritol and glycine powders
-
- Precise temperature and flow control for patient comfort
Generic devices can use unverified powders that may be too coarse, untested, or unsafe if inhaled or ingested—especially concerning when cleaning implants and soft tissue areas.
Gentle, Comfortable, and Efficient
AIRFLOW® is often described by patients as feeling like a warm mist rather than a cleaning tool. There’s no pain, no scraping, and minimal aerosol exposure.
Because it efficiently removes biofilm from all surfaces—even those below the gumline—it leaves your mouth feeling exceptionally clean and smooth.
Typical sessions take 30–45 minutes, depending on the number of restorations and plaque buildup.
How Often Should You Have AIRFLOW® Cleaning?
For most patients with natural teeth, every six months is ideal.
For those with implants, veneers, crowns, or bridges, dentists often recommend cleaning every three to four months to prevent biofilm and maintain gum health.
