Cambridge, Mass – Royal Philips, a global leader in oral healthcare, today announced its most advanced, intelligent electric toothbrush ever: the Philips Sonicare Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige – a breakthrough in Sonicare's personalized oral care that empowers people to see how well they’re brushing in real-time.

From heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer's and pregnancy outcomes, studies have shown that having a healthy mouth may be integral to overall well-being [3]. Yet, according to Philips research, more than a third of people (37%) are left guessing if they're brushing well enough between dental visits.
Building on more than three decades of innovation from the No.1 sonic toothbrush brand recommended by dental professionals worldwide, the Philips Sonicare Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige is designed to help people brush with greater confidence. It combines on-device AI guidance with a powerful yet gentle clean, removing up to 2000% more plaque than a manual toothbrush [4].
“Philips Sonicare is opening a new era of oral care by making the invisible visible,” said Francesco Grillo, Philips Global Business Unit Leader – Oral Healthcare. “For decades, people have been told how to brush better, yet most never truly knew how well they were brushing. With our Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, we fundamentally reimagined the brushing experience by combining advanced sensing, real-time guidance and AI-powered personalization directly within the toothbrush itself. The result is a simpler, more intuitive and more effective way to help people build healthier habits and achieve better oral health outcomes every day.”
With the Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, we’re redefining what daily oral care routines look and feel like, helping remove the guesswork from brushing through visual guidance, personalized care, and premium design, giving consumers greater confidence that their daily routines are truly working.
“Too many people still rely on manual brushing routines that can leave up to 50% of bacterial plaque behind, especially overnight when bacteria can grow undisturbed,” said Matina Vidalis, Sr. Marketing Director – Oral Healthcare, Philips Personal Health North America. “Addressing this oral health gap has shaped everything we’re doing this year, from reimagining World Oral Health Day as ‘World Oral Health Night’ to re-launching our newly redesigned Sonicare portfolio in a single year. With the Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, we’re redefining what daily oral care routines look and feel like, helping remove the guesswork from brushing through visual guidance, personalized care, and premium design, giving consumers greater confidence that their daily routines are truly working.”

The launch of the next-generation Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige builds on a milestone year for Philips Sonicare. Earlier this year, the brand introduced its new electric toothbrush range 5000–7000 Series, bringing next-generation sonic technology, refreshed design, more accessible price points and more intuitive brushing experiences to consumers across the portfolio. It also marked the debut of “Feel the Care,” Sonicare’s refreshed brand direction created to bring the signature ‘Sonicare feeling’ to life through clinically proven performance.
The Philips Sonicare Next-Generation DiamondClean Series 9900 Prestige is part of the new Next-Generation DiamondClean 8000-9000 range and will be available on Amazon in September 2026.
