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.
