Guided Biofilm Therapy
       
The Modern, Gentle Way to Keep Your Smile Healthy


What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced dental cleaning method that targets biofilm — the sticky layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth and gums. Biofilm is the main cause of tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath, and removing it regularly is essential for your oral and overall health.

Unlike traditional “scrape and polish” cleaning, GBT uses state-of-the-art technology to remove biofilm, plaque, and stains in a way that is:

• Gentle – No scraping, no discomfort, perfect for sensitive teeth

• Precise – Targets exactly where bacteria hide

• Effective – Cleans areas traditional tools can’t always reach

How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works

1. Plaque Disclosing – A safe, coloured solution is applied to your teeth to make biofilm visible. This lets both you and your dental hygienist see exactly where the bacteria are hiding.

2. Airflow® Cleaning – Using a warm, gentle stream of air, water, and fine cleaning powder, stains and biofilm are removed from the teeth, gumline, and even the tiny spaces between teeth.

3. Perioflow® for Gums – If needed, a special tip cleans below the gumline to help treat or prevent gum disease.

4. Piezon® Ultrasonic Cleaning – For any hard tartar deposits, an ultrasonic device gently removes them without damaging tooth enamel.

Why Patients Love Guided Biofilm Therapy

• Pain-free – Ideal for nervous patients and those with sensitive teeth

• Safe for dental work – Suitable for implants, crowns, veneers, and braces

• Better prevention – By seeing where biofilm collects, you can improve your brushing and flossing at home

• Fresher breath & brighter smile – Stains from tea, coffee, and wine are gently removed in the same visit
   

Guided Biofilm Therapy for Gum Disease Prevention
Because biofilm is the main cause of gum inflammation and periodontal disease, removing it regularly is key to keeping gums healthy. GBT is clinically proven to reduce gum disease risk and support long-term oral health.

How Often Should You Have GBT?
For most people, every 6 months is ideal. If you have gum disease or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits.
