At Highfield Dental & Facial Clinic, where we prioritise not just your dental health but your overall well-being, so we’re excited to introduce you to Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a cutting-edge treatment that’s transforming dental hygiene.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a revolutionary approach to dental hygiene that focuses on the gentle and thorough removal of biofilm – that pesky layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional methods, GBT uses advanced technology to ensure a comfortable and effective clean.
You might be wondering, "Why should I consider GBT over a regular clean?" Here are a few reasons:
Say goodbye to the dental drill. GBT is gentle, making your visit as comfortable as possible.
It targets biofilm specifically, ensuring a deep clean that leaves your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.
GBT is perfect for those with sensitive teeth and gums. It’s designed to be kind to your mouth.
By effectively removing biofilm, GBT helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Let’s break down the GBT process into simple steps:
Your hygienist will start by assessing your oral health and identifying areas where biofilm is present.
A harmless dye is applied to highlight the biofilm, making it visible.
Using a special Airflow device, the biofilm is gently removed with a mix of air, water, and a fine powder.
Any remaining hard deposits (calculus) are removed using a gentle ultrasonic scaler.
Your hygienist will ensure all biofilm and calculus are gone, leaving your teeth spotless.
We’ll give you tips and tools to maintain your oral health at home.
A fluoride treatment is applied to protect your teeth from future decay.
Regular check-ups are scheduled to keep your smile healthy and bright.
Patients love GBT because it’s a game changer for oral health. Here’s why:
Gentle on Teeth and Gums: The Airflow and Piezon technologies used in GBT are gentle and minimally invasive.
No More Polishing: Traditional polishing methods can be abrasive. With GBT, your teeth are left smooth and clean without the need for polishing pastes.
Safe for All Ages: GBT is safe for children, adults, and even those with dental implants and braces.
Quick and Efficient: The entire process is streamlined, making your dental visit quicker and more pleasant.
Biofilm is the main culprit behind many dental issues, including cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Here’s how GBT tackles these problems:
Prevents Cavities: By removing biofilm, GBT reduces the risk of cavities.
Fights Gum Disease: Biofilm is a leading cause of gum disease. GBT helps keep your gums healthy.
Eliminates Bad Breath: A thorough cleaning removes the bacteria responsible for bad breath.
When you come in for your GBT hygiene appointment, here’s what you can expect:
