Guided Biofilm Therapy: A Better Way to Clean Your Smile

A healthier smile starts with removing what you can’t always see. Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced dental cleaning approach that uses innovative technology to identify and gently remove harmful biofilm, plaque, and stains while providing a more comfortable experience for patients.

Unlike traditional cleanings that focus primarily on scraping away buildup, Guided Biofilm Therapy takes a more precise, preventive approach. By revealing areas where biofilm is present, our team can provide a thorough cleaning that is tailored to your unique oral health needs.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that naturally forms on your teeth and gums. If not properly removed, it can contribute to cavities, gum disease, inflammation, and other oral health concerns.

Guided Biofilm Therapy uses a specialized disclosing solution to highlight areas where biofilm is hiding. This allows our hygienists to target buildup more effectively and remove it using gentle, minimally invasive technology.

Is Guided Biofilm Therapy Comfortable?

Yes. Guided Biofilm Therapy is designed with patient comfort in mind. The process uses gentle air polishing technology and precise techniques to clean areas that need attention while minimizing unnecessary discomfort.
