This appointment includes

* up to 4x intra-oral radiographs and 1x OPG are included in this offer.

Professional clean and polish with the AIRFLOW® ONE

At VC Dental we have an advanced product called the EMS AIRFLOW® ONE machine.

This new technology delivers a more effective clean, in less time, and involves less direct contact with dental instruments.

The AIRFLOW® uses Guided Biofilm Therapy, which is the latest innovation in removing plaque (dental biofilm) from the teeth. It greatly reduces the need to use traditional ultrasonic (electric/vibrating) or hand (manual/scraping) instruments during teeth cleaning treatments.

The AIRFLOW® handpiece projects a controlled stream of air, warm water (heated to 40 degrees Celsius), and very fine sweet powder onto both the teeth surface and hard-to-reach areas (including between the teeth and under the gum margins). The AIRFLOW® ONE handpiece will not come into direct contact with your teeth or gums.
