The Benefits of AirFlow Technology

Greater Comfort During Cleanings

Traditional cleanings use metal tools and gritty polish, which some patients find uncomfortable or even painful. AirFlow delivers a warm, gentle stream that’s much easier on sensitive teeth and gums, making routine cleanings a more pleasant experience.

Superior Plaque and Stain Removal

AirFlow removes plaque, soft deposits, and surface stains more thoroughly than manual methods. It even reaches hard-to-access areas like around implants, orthodontics, and under the gumline, helping prevent gum disease and cavities more effectively.

Promotes Gum Health

By gently targeting subgingival areas without causing trauma, AirFlow is ideal for patients managing gingivitis or periodontitis. It supports healthier gums and reduces the risk of inflammation, keeping your smile healthier between visits.

What to Expect From An AirFlow Cleaning

A Personalized Start

A Personalized Start

Your visit begins with a warm welcome and a thorough evaluation. Dr. Sam Sage will review your dental history and discuss any concerns or sensitivities you may have. Using advanced diagnostics, we create a personalized hygiene treatment plan that fits your oral health needs and comfort preferences. It’s all part of our commitment to patient-centered care.

The AirFlow Cleaning Experience

The AirFlow Cleaning Experience

Once you’re comfortably settled in the chair, your hygienist uses the AirFlow system to gently spray a controlled stream of warm water, air, and ultrafine powder onto the teeth. This method effectively cleans the teeth, gums, and even tricky areas like underneath the gumline or around dental work. There’s no scraping, no noise, and no discomfort, just a fresh, clean feeling and a noticeably brighter smile. You’ll be amazed by how fast and gentle the process is.

Aftercare and Ongoing Wellness

Aftercare and Ongoing Wellness

After your cleaning, we’ll review tips for maintaining your smile between visits and answer any questions you may have. Because AirFlow is so gentle, there’s no downtime, you can return to your routine right away. We’ll also talk about any follow-ups or ongoing care you may need. Our goal is to ensure that every visit to Sage Family Dentistry leaves you feeling cared for, confident, and supported long after you leave our office.

I have appreciated Julia’s expertise and competence as a dental hygienist for many years. I will always be thankful for her keen eye catching a tricky dental problem  early on. I also like her and Dr Sage’s focus on prevention and oral health as the first step towards heart and brain health.

Just had my first visit with and I’ve never been treated so well by a dental team! I’m actually looking forward to working with them on addressing my periodontal and teeth issues. Highly highly recommend.

Dr Carns was, as always, friendly and professional.  He gave my teeth a good cleaning.  We discussed a cosmetic issue.  He gave me his thoughts and arranged for me to get a further opinion from Dr Sage.

Great dental work. Everyone I’ve worked with has been thorough, communicative and efficient. My impression is that the office makes a point to use up to date tech and techniques, and consistently makes patient comfort their priority (extra pillows and water are nice touches during long filling sessions!). Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sage Family Dentistry for over 5 years, ever since moving to Seattle. My kids also get their dental care here ever since they were born. Dr. Sage and all the other dentists, hygienists, and staff have all been great this entire time. I recently had a bad toothache on a Friday night, called in Saturday morning (when they're normally closed), and was in the office within 1.5 hours with Dr. Sage solving my issue - during a holiday weekend! Highly recommended.
