PROPHYflex™ 4 Air Polisher

At Gantos Dental Group in Naperville, IL, air polishing is a procedure that uses air and water pressure to deliver a controlled stream of specially processed powders in a slurry through the handpick nozzle. Fine particles of powders are propelled by compressed air in a warm spray and directed on the surfaces of teeth. The pressurized jets of air, water, and powder remove surface stains, plaque, and other soft deposits such as food particles trapped in between teeth.
