Guided Biofilm Therapy: What Is It?

GBT is a cutting-edge method of dental hygiene that uses cutting-edge equipment and methods to get rid of toxic biofilms from the teeth and gums, including dental plaque. In addition to assisting in the prevention of dental disorders including cavities and gum disease, this highly successful procedure also enhances the general well-being and aesthetics of your teeth and gums.

In just one session, you'll experience the benefits and see the outcomes!

Why do I need to visit a hygienist?

When dangerous plaque and tartar are removed during a thorough GBT & Airflow hygiene treatment, periodontitis (commonly known as gum disease) can be prevented.

It is possible to have healthy, strong teeth that are free of disease and pain, and you may start taking good care of your teeth and gums at any age. We are dedicated about prevention and tell our patients that they can keep their smiles healthy by getting regular dental exams, therapy, and guidance from our hygienists.

Now that you have regular dental hygiene appointments built into your schedule, you can keep on top of your oral health and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Dental biofilm: What is it?

A sticky film of bacteria and other germs called dental biofilm, also referred to as dental plaque, develops on the teeth and gumline. When oral bacteria attach to teeth and start to reproduce, a thin biofilm coating is created, which is a normal and ongoing process.

If dental biofilm is not routinely removed through good oral hygiene practises like brushing, flossing, and frequent dental checkups, it can result in dental issues including tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque can solidify into tartar if it is not removed, which can only be done by a dental professional. As a result, it's critical to maintain appropriate oral hygiene practises to avoid the formation of dental biofilm and to preserve the health of your teeth and gums.

Will GBT & Airflow therapy be more beneficial for me than a standard scale and polish?

Advanced dental cleaning methods like GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) and Airflow therapy provide several advantages over scale and polish procedures. The following are a few justifications for thinking about GBT and Airflow therapy:

Greater elimination of biofilm: Compared to conventional scaling and polishing methods, GBT and Airflow therapy use a combination of ultrasonic scalers, air polishers, and stain removal tools. After the surgery, you are less likely to acquire cavities or gum disease



Less traumatic to the teeth and gums: Traditional scaling and polishing can occasionally be painful, particularly if you have sensitive teeth or gums. Modern tools and materials are used by our skilled hygienists to complete GBT operations. This involves utilising cutting-edge ultrasound equipment and air-polishing systems to administer your hygiene treatment in the least invasive manner possible while maintaining the highest standards of comfort, safety, and effectiveness. Enjoy a spa-like experience by choosing your preferred water temperature from 5 settings, including unheated, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 40°; this is perfect for kids and patients with delicate skin.

A tiny powder is propelled against the teeth during airflow therapy to better eliminate stains brought on by smoking, coffee, tea, or red wine. With this method, tough stains that are challenging to remove with scaling and polishing can be eliminated.

Overall, GBT and Airflow therapy provide a more sophisticated and efficient cleaning experience that can help you maintain good oral health and give you beautiful, comfortable teeth.

Will there be pain?

Let your dental hygienist know if you have any pain or discomfort so that we can apply a local anaesthetic gel to relieve the symptoms.

Should I visit a hygienist if I think I have gum disease?

The following conditions should be addressed by a hygienist:

- Bleeding gums

- unpleasant aftertaste

- swollen gums

- bad breath

- Missing teeth

- Gum shrinkage

If your hygienist determines that you would benefit from seeing a periodontist (gum specialist) after your hygiene appointment, an internal referral can be made.

Our mission is to provide exceptional aesthetic dentistry while also promoting long-term dental wellness.

Our carefully selected team of dental specialists will go above and beyond to ensure that each patient's treatment plan is specifically tailored to their needs.
