Teeth Sandblasting
Teeth Sandblasting (Air-Flow) in Warsaw
Teeth sandblasting is a hygiene treatment that removes deposits, stains from coffee, tea and cigarettes, and bacterial biofilm using a stream of air, water and fine powder. It doesn’t damage enamel, usually doesn’t require anaesthesia, and is recommended every 6–12 months. At Adent in Mokotów it starts from 200 PLN.
What teeth sandblasting removes
Sandblasting removes soft deposits and stains that ordinary brushing or scaling alone can’t eliminate. It restores teeth to their natural colour and reduces the bacteria responsible for cavities and gum inflammation.
Stains and discolouration
Deposits from coffee, tea, red wine and cigarettes on the surface of the tooth crowns.
Bacterial biofilm
Plaque and biofilm from hard-to-reach areas, including gum pockets (subgingival variant).
Fine surface deposits
Soft build-up and residue that complement the effect of scaling — for a smooth, clean surface.
How the sandblasting procedure works
The treatment is carried out by a dental hygienist using a dental air-polishing device. Under pressure, it directs a stream of air, water and cleaning powder onto the tooth surface, reaching interdental spaces as well.
- Assessment of the oral cavity
The hygienist checks the gums and teeth and rules out any contraindications to the procedure.
- Air-Flow sandblasting
A stream of air, water and powder removes deposits and stains from the surfaces and interdental spaces.
- Rinsing and result check
Thorough rinsing of the powder and inspection of the smoothness of the cleaned surfaces.
- Recommendations and fluoride treatment
Hygiene guidance and, where indicated, a supplementary fluoride treatment to strengthen the enamel.
Supragingival and subgingival sandblasting
Sandblasting is performed in two variants, differing in the type of powder used and the scope of action.
Supragingival
Removes deposits and stains from the tooth crowns. Uses a sodium bicarbonate–based powder that cleans the enamel without damaging it.
Subgingival
A method supporting the treatment of periodontal disease. A glycine-based powder gently removes biofilm from gum pockets and root surfaces while protecting soft tissue.
Sandblasting vs. scaling — what’s the difference
Sandblasting and scaling are two complementary stages of professional hygiene. Scaling removes hard tartar with ultrasound, while sandblasting removes soft deposits, stains and biofilm with a powder stream. The best result comes from combining both in a single visit.
Indications and benefits of sandblasting
Sandblasting is recommended for both health and aesthetic reasons. Regular treatment makes it easier to maintain oral cleanliness and reduces the risk of oral disease.
- Visible deposits and stains — from coffee, tea, cigarettes.
- A complement to scaling and fluoride treatment — part of comprehensive hygiene care.
- Improved smile aesthetics — restoring the natural colour of teeth.
- Cavity and gum disease prevention — fewer bacteria, healthier gums.
- Hygiene during orthodontic treatment — especially important while wearing orthodontic braces.
Contraindications to sandblasting
In some situations the treatment should be postponed or discussed with a dentist first. Sandblasting is not recommended for patients with the following conditions.
- Acute inflammation in the oral cavity.
- Lung disease and asthma.
- Tooth hypersensitivity.
- Pregnancy — the treatment is best performed in the 2nd trimester.
- Allergy to the ingredients of the dental powder.
What to do after sandblasting
Right after sandblasting the enamel is temporarily without its natural protective film, so a few rules are worth following in the first hours.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, beetroot) for 24–48 hours.
- Don’t eat for 2 hours after the procedure, to avoid irritating the enamel.
- Continue your daily hygiene routine — brushing, flossing, rinsing.

Frequently asked questions
Does teeth sandblasting hurt?
Sandblasting usually doesn’t require anaesthesia. Patients with sensitive teeth may feel a brief sensation of cold or mild discomfort.
How often should sandblasting be done?
It’s recommended every 6–12 months, depending on individual needs — people who drink a lot of coffee or smoke may need it more often.
Does sandblasting damage the enamel?
No. The powders used (sodium bicarbonate, glycine) clean the teeth without damaging the enamel. The procedure is safe when performed correctly.
What’s the difference between sandblasting and scaling?
Scaling removes hard tartar with ultrasound, while sandblasting removes soft deposits, stains and biofilm with a powder stream. Both treatments complement each other and are best done together.
