AirFlow: Gentle, advanced teeth cleanings

AirFlow cleanings are not covered by insurance. If you'd like to book a cleaning covered by insurance, please book a standard cleaning or a Signature Cleaning & Whitening. Unfortunately, reimbursement rates are very low and we cannot accept them for our AirFlow cleanings.

AirFlow cleaning, first, includes the application of a complimentary plaque disclosing solution which highlights areas of plaque buildup - allowing for identification of missed-areas during routine care and correction of at-home brushing patterns (to prevent future plaque buildup).

Secondly, AirFlow cleanings include the usage of our advanced AirFlow technology - which uses a gentle stream of air and water to clean your teeth - without the typical picking and scraping associated with dental cleanings. AirFlow has been shown to remove plaque equally if not more effectively than standard dental cleanings.

Yes, instead of picking and scraping to remove plaque and tartar - which is typically required in dental cleanings - AirFlow cleanings use a gentle stream of air & water to remove plaque & tartar, plus polish, in one simple treatment.

AirFlow is great for those with sensitive teeth or looking to avoid the ordinary picking and scraping associated with dental cleanings.

Our complimentary plaque disclosing solution is a dye which highlights areas of plaque buildup - allowing for identification of missed-areas during routine care and correction of at-home brushing patterns (to prevent future plaque buildup). Your hygienist will guide you through every step of the process.

The detoxifying solution used in AirFlow is erythritol powder - a sugar alcohol found in many foods. Erythritol powder has many dental benefits and proven to help prevent cavities and gum disease.

Yes - AirFlow is perfect for cleaning & polishing teeth with braces.

Yes - AirFlow is appropriate for veneers.

The Gleamery is a dental boutique with licensed, expert hygienists that provide teeth cleanings and whitenings tailored to our clients’ needs. We remove many of the uncomfortable aspects of traditional dental care (drills, judgment, scheduling, cost) with convenience, affordability, and hospitality.

Our studios are designed with you in mind, and we offer teeth cleanings and whitenings in as little as 30 minutes to accommodate busy schedules. We offer same-day, evening, and weekend appointments; self-care should never be a burden.

During your treatment, if one of our hygienists spots something they think should be reviewed by a dentist, we’ll refer you out to one of our local dental partners (whom we trust) for additional care. But your experience at The Gleamery is designed to be an experience in self-care. To us, smile-care = self-care.

You can cancel or reschedule your appointment for free anytime more than 24 hours before your appointment.

If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours of your appointment, you will incur a $75 cancellation fee.

During your treatment (whether a cleaning or a whitening), if one of our hygienists spots an area that needs attention from a dentist (like a cavity), we’ll refer you out to one of our local dental partners (whom we trust) for additional care.

Our guidance will vary for every client, but during your teeth cleaning, our hygienists will take a detailed look at your oral health and provide custom guidance depending on your smile-care goals.

As a general rule of practice, we recommend 3-4 cleanings per year (or one cleaning every 3-4 months). After routine cleanings, plaque builds up fast at home. At-home brushing and flossing often misses difficult-to-reach areas - which is why routine cleanings are so important.

Yes. We hire best-in-class, licensed hygienists that provide robust, complete teeth cleanings. While you’re in the studio, our hygiene team will work hand-in-hand with you to develop a plan to help you reach your healthiest possible smile.

For those that haven’t been to the dentist in years and have significant plaque and tartar buildup, more time and/or an additional cleaning may be required.

If it is your first time receiving a professional teeth cleaning in a long time, we recommend starting with a 45-minute AirFlow cleaning to ensure a robust clean.
