Guided Biofilm Therapy

The process of Guided Biofilm Therapy is divided into several steps that allow the thorough cleaning of teeth while minimising any harm to the gums and dental restorations. 

First, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and general oral health to know where plaque, biofilm, and tartar are collected and to personalise the treatment. 

Then, if necessary, the dentist applies the disclosing solution to mark the presence of the biofilm on your teeth. As a result, you can see the places that require cleaning, and the dentist will explain to you where the plaque usually collects.

Next, the dentist uses special air flow equipment to remove the biofilm and surface stains from your teeth, gum line, and hard-to-reach places. If there is any hardened tartar, the dentist uses appropriate ultrasonic and manual tools to remove it while being careful about your comfort. 

Finally, before you go, the dentist tells you how to clean your teeth more efficiently in order to maintain your results at home. 

With the help of Guided Biofilm Therapy, you get the ability to take care of your oral health with minimal pain and maximum efficiency. Targeting the biofilm before it turns into any complications allows you to decrease the risk of caries, periodontal diseases, and plaque-induced bad breath. In addition, this treatment removes many surface stains from your teeth. Besides, it helps you to maintain a healthier oral environment and provides long-term preventive care.

The main advantage of the procedure is the fact that it is patient-oriented. The treatment is minimally invasive and is suitable for many patients, including those who have braces, dental implants, crowns, veneers, or sensitive gums. Thanks to an individual approach to each appointment, the treatment depends on your needs and not on a standard one. Regular GBT appointments along with proper daily hygiene help you to achieve better oral health and hygiene. 

Is Guided Biofilm Therapy painful?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is intended to be a comfortable procedure. In case your gums are inflamed or you have heavy tartar deposits, the dentist adjusts the treatment to minimise your discomfort during the procedure.

How often should I have Guided Biofilm Therapy?

The frequency of your appointments depends on your oral and gum health as well as on the risk of plaque accumulation. After the examination, the dentist recommends a personalised maintenance program.

Can Guided Biofilm Therapy remove stains?

Yes. Guided Biofilm Therapy allows you to remove many surface stains that are formed due to such foods as tea, coffee, tobacco, and other everyday products. But it does not change the colour of your teeth as professional tooth whitening does.

Is Guided Biofilm Therapy suitable for dental implants and crowns?

Yes. Guided Biofilm Therapy is suitable for maintenance of your implants, crowns, veneers, and other dental restorations.
