Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)

What is GBT?

GBT is a modern method of cleaning teeth. GBT is designed to be gentle and effective, making it perfect for people with sensetive teeth or dental anxiety. This method is minimally invasive using a mixture of warm water, air and a fine powder to gently remove bacteria, plaque and stains from your teeth. A gentle scaler is used to remove any tartar (hardened plaque) that remains. This makes for a more effective and comfortable experience compared to a traditional scale and polish.

What to expect

GBT consists of 8 defined steps:

1. Assess: Every appointment starts with a full assessment of the teeth and gum health. You’ll also get an oral cancer screening at every visit.
2. Disclose: Using a dye makes biofilm visible, highlighting any problematic areas and guiding the cleaning. No more dye = no more biofilm.
3. Motivate: Based on your needs and preferences, you’ll then received a tailored oral hygiene routine to maximse your home care.
4. AirFlow: Using a combination of warm water, air and fine powder biofilm, stains and early calculus are gently removed from the teeth and gums.
5. Piezon: Using warm water and pain-free technology, deposits are removed from the teeth quietly and gently.
6. Perioflow: Same as ‘Airflow’ but the specially designed nozzle cleans deeper into gum pockets where necessary.
7. Check: One last check to ensure that your mouth is clean before you leave.
8. Recall: Based on your needs, set your next appointment.
