</div><div data-element-id="elm_tzyxmaf8twii2A3mkv5HRw" data-element-type="text" class="zpelement zpelem-text "><style> [data-element-id="elm_tzyxmaf8twii2A3mkv5HRw"].zpelem-text { border-radius:1px; } </style><div class="zptext zptext-align-left " data-editor="true"><div style="color:inherit;"><p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:inherit;">Step 1: Get Your Full Assessment</span></div>
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:inherit;">This first step involves examination and diagnosis of your teeth and gums by our experienced hygienists, to determine the right therapy for treatment efficacy and your comfort. Early detection of gum disease is crucial to preventing future oral health problems.</span></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 2: Organic Dye is Applied</span><br><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">We will apply an organic dye to your teeth to make the biofilm (aka plaque) visible. Biofilm is almost invisible to the naked eye. It can only be removed completely once it is made visible.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 3: Personalised Health Recommendations</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">Now that the biofilm is visible, we’ll show you any problem areas we notice and give you personalised recommendations for proper oral care at home.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 4: AIRFLOW MAX® Technology</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">The AIRFLOW MAX® Technology works with erythritol powder to remove stains and biofilm from your teeth, tongue, cheeks, and surrounding soft tissues. It uses a gentle jet of air and warm water, and feels like a warm mist on your teeth. Because AIRFLOW removes the biofilm, you won’t need the gritty, messy traditional polish at the end of your treatment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 5: PERIOFLOW® Technology</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br> PERIOFLOW® technology removes biofilm underneath the gums, gently and thoroughly. This step is only necessary in those patients with deep periodontal pockets.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 6: PIEZON® PS Technology</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Instead of using dental tools to scrape your teeth clean, PIEZON® PS NO PAIN technology is used to remove any remaining hard deposits. PIEZON senses where calculus is and shatters it, so that it is more targeted and gentle than traditional ultrasonic instrumentation.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 7: Quality Control</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">We’ll thoroughly check to ensure all the biofilm, discolorations and calculus have been completely removed for your healthiest smile. Some minor hand scaling may be required if there is any calculus remaining after the above steps. Now that your teeth are clean, the dentist is better able to do your exam.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;"><br></span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;">Step 8: Book Your Next Cleaning</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">It’s important to keep up with regular cleanings to prevent disease and maintain your oral health. We’ll book you in for your next cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about remembering us.</span></p></div></div>
