Guided Biofilm Therapy

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) A Gentler, More Effective Professional Dental Cleaning

We have upgraded our cleaning system!

We are excited to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) – a modern, gentle approach to professional teeth cleaning that focuses on removing dental biofilm (plaque and bacteria) while maximizing your comfort.

GBT Explanation With Graphics

Why is biofilm important?

Dental biofilm is the main cause of:

Cavities (tooth decay)
Gum (periodontal) disease
Implant infections

Research has also shown that periodontal (gum) disease may increase the risk of certain systemic health conditions.

Good home care combined with regular professional cleanings helps keep biofilm under control and supports both oral and overall health.

What to Expect During Your GBT Cleaning

Your appointment may include the following steps:

Optional Soft Lip

Retractor

Helps improve visibility and access during your cleaning

Biofilm Revealing Dye

A temporary, safe dye is applied to highlight areas where plaque and bacteria have accumulated.
This allows us to target only the areas that need cleaning

Airflow^® GBT Cleaning

Uses a gentle combination of warm water, air, and fine erythritol powder (a sugar alcohol) to remove biofilm and stains.
Eliminates the need for traditional polishing.
Most patients describe it as feeling like a warm water spray on the teeth and gums.
