Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern and comprehensive approach to dental cleaning and hygiene that involves meticulously removing dental plaque and biofilm from the teeth and gums.
Biofilm is a thin layer of microorganisms, including bacteria, that adhere to the tooth surface and can cause various oral health issues, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
The GBT process typically includes the following steps:
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a prominent aspect of our practice, showcasing our distinctive approachThis link leads to Our Difference page. GBT provides patients with heightened precision and comfort during their cleaning experience.
GBT does not involve standard ultrasonic scaling. It incorporates an air polisher as the initial step and a Piezon as the second step for those requiring it. The Piezon effectively breaks down tenacious deposits that the air polisher may not eliminate. We advocate fostering a balanced, healthy biofilm to substitute the disease-causing one, preventing cavities and gum disease.
Saliva testing detects disease-related bacteria through a collected sample, guiding tailored treatments like targeted antimicrobial therapy for effective management of the condition. It’s a non-invasive and convenient diagnostic approach.
Our goal is to save your natural teeth while giving you the best dental care. We use conservative, nature-inspired treatments to restore your smile’s beauty and function.
