What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a cutting-edge dental cleaning technique designed to efficiently and gently remove biofilm (a layer of bacteria) from your teeth and gums. By focusing on the root cause of dental diseases, GBT offers a preventive solution that goes beyond traditional cleaning methods, ensuring healthier gums and lasting dental health.

How Does Guided Biofilm Therapy Work?

GBT employs a sequence of procedures tailored to minimize discomfort and maximize effectiveness. It begins with the application of a disclosing agent that colors the biofilm, making it visible. This step is crucial as it guides the dental professional to target areas that require the most attention. Subsequently, high-tech air polishing tools and ultrasonic devices are used to remove the biofilm and tartar gently, followed by a final check to ensure thorough cleaning.

Who is a Candidate for Guided Biofilm Therapy?

GBT is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with sensitive teeth, gum disease, or anyone looking for a more thorough cleaning than what traditional methods offer. It's particularly beneficial for patients with braces, dental implants, or those who wish to maintain optimal oral hygiene.

What Can I Expect During My Biofilm Therapy Procedure?

When you visit Gen2 Dentistry for your Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) session, you're set for a treatment that prioritizes your comfort and dental health. Here’s what you can expect, step-by-step:

Consultation

Upon arrival, you'll be warmly greeted by our team. One of our experienced dentists will meet with you and discuss your dental history and any specific concerns. This initial discussion ensures that the GBT is tailored to your individual needs.

Pre-Treatment Examination

The doctors will perform a thorough oral examination to assess the condition of your gums and teeth. This step is crucial for customizing the GBT to effectively target areas of concern.

Application of Disclosing Solution

A safe, colored solution is applied to your teeth, which makes the biofilm (bacterial layer) visible. This visual aid highlights the areas that need the most attention during the cleaning process.

Removal of Biofilm and Tartar

Using state-of-the-art air polishing and ultrasonic devices, the biofilm and any tartar are gently removed. These high-tech tools are designed to be minimally invasive, reducing discomfort and effectively cleaning without the harshness of traditional scraping tools.

Thorough Cleaning and Polishing

Once the biofilm and tartar are cleared, your teeth will be polished. This not only improves the aesthetic of your teeth but also smoothens the enamel, making it harder for plaque to adhere in the future.

Final Inspection and Fluoride Application

Your dentist will perform a final check to ensure all problematic areas have been addressed. A fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen the teeth and protect against cavities.

Post-Treatment Guidance

After the procedure, your dentist will discuss your oral hygiene routine and provide personalized tips to maintain your clean and healthy smile. They will also recommend a schedule for future GBT sessions based on your specific oral health status.

Schedule Your Next Visit

Before you leave, our team will help you schedule your next appointment, ensuring that your dental care continues without interruption.
