A dental air polishing unit is a specialized device used for cleaning and polishing teeth. It operates by emitting a fine mist of air, water, and a polishing powder (typically sodium bicarbonate or other abrasive substances) onto the tooth surface. This method is more efficient and comfortable than traditional hand polishing, helping to remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from teeth. Dental air polishing units are commonly employed in dental cleanings, periodontal therapy, and aesthetic treatments to enhance oral hygiene and improve the appearance of teeth.

Key trends during this period include the integration of AI in dental procedures, the development of portable and handheld air polishers, the use of biocompatible polishing powders, the adoption of digital workflows in dentistry, and the creation of ergonomic and user-friendly designs.
The growing demand for cosmetic dentistry is expected to drive the expansion of the dental air polishing unit market in the future. Cosmetic dentistry involves dental procedures designed to enhance the appearance of teeth, gums, and overall smile through treatments such as whitening, veneers, and orthodontics. The increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry is largely due to heightened awareness and a growing desire for aesthetic improvements, influenced by social media and celebrity culture. Dental air polishing units play a key role in cosmetic dentistry by effectively removing stains and plaque, enhancing tooth brightness and smoothness to achieve optimal aesthetic results. For example, in July 2023, a report from Dentistry.co.uk, a UK-based dental news platform, revealed that one-third of individuals under 35 had undergone a cosmetic dental procedure in the past year, spending an average of $4,800 (£3,677). Additionally, 10% of people aged 25-34 spent $32,500 (£25,000) or more on cosmetic dental procedures. This growing demand for cosmetic dentistry is therefore driving the growth of the dental air polishing unit market.
