Prophy-Jet
in Poquoson
Prophy-Jet polishing is a modern cleaning method that uses a combination of air, water, and fine baking soda powder to gently remove plaque, stains, and soft deposits from the teeth. This advanced system provides a more comfortable and effective alternative to traditional polishing techniques.
What Is Prophy-Jet?
Dentist Poquoson
Prophy-Jet is a dental air polishing system that sprays a controlled stream of air, water, and sodium bicarbonate onto the teeth. This combination works to remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco, while also eliminating plaque and biofilm that brushing alone cannot reach.
Unlike traditional rubber cup polishing, Prophy-Jet is less abrasive and more efficient, making it especially beneficial for patients with stains or those who require frequent cleanings. It also helps neutralize acids in the mouth, reducing bacteria and promoting a healthier oral environment. Because it’s gentle and fast, many patients find Prophy-Jet cleanings to be more comfortable while achieving a brighter, smoother smile.

Benefits of Prophy-Jet

Effective Stain Removal
Prophy-Jet quickly and effectively removes stubborn stains caused by foods, drinks, or smoking. By lifting surface discoloration, it restores a brighter, more polished smile that improves both appearance and confidence. This makes it a popular choice for patients who want a noticeable cosmetic improvement.
Gentle and Comfortable
Because Prophy-Jet uses air and water instead of abrasive polishing tools, the process is gentler on teeth and gums. Patients often report greater comfort during cleanings, especially those with sensitive teeth or areas of gum recession, compared to traditional polishing methods.
Improved Oral Health
By removing plaque, biofilm, and harmful bacteria, Prophy-Jet supports gum health and reduces the risk of periodontal issues. It also neutralizes oral acids, helping to protect enamel and create a cleaner, healthier environment for long-term oral wellness.
