Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a revolutionary way to carry out your dental hygienist visit.
It uses Airflow technology and is a thorough yet comfortable way to have your entire mouth detoxed.
What is guided biofilm therapy?
- Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a new Swiss innovation now being offered by Guinea Court Dental Surgery.
- GBT is done during regular cleanings and uses AirFlow technology to remove all bacteria (biofilm) in the mouth that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
- Airflow projects a controlled stream of air, warm water and very fine pleasant tasting powder onto the tooth to dislodge and remove plaque, discolouration and stains.
- The high pressure water/air stream cleans your teeth much faster, and more efficiently than traditional methods, especially as it uses water heated to body temperature.
- GBT has allowed our Dental Hygienists and Periodontist to transform the patient experience by exchanging old-school methods for a revolutionary system that offers a lifetime of pain-free and fear-free oral healthcare for all ages.
Is GBT for me?
- GBT is highly effective, minimally invasive and gentle, meaning that people with gum disease, braces, crowns, bridges, veneers and implants are eligible for treatment.
- These procedures are so gentle they can be used on natural teeth, restorations, orthodontic braces, implants, the tongue and gums.
- GBT is a great option for those who want to remove all stains resulting from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco consumption, and should be done before receiving tooth whitening to achieve better results.
Guided Biofilm Therapy Treatment Breakdown
Stage 1 – A full oral health assessment and oral cancer screen with the aid of Intra oral cameras.
Stage 2 – We will colour the bacteria in the mouth so we can identify it, this ensures we never leave any deposits behind.
Stage 3 – Time to review your current oral hygiene regime and offer any suggestions that may make it easier for you to maintain good oral health.
Stage 4 – We will remove the bacteria and deposits from your mouth using Airflow®. Airflow® is a gentle stream of warm water, powder and air which is used above the gum, below the gum and the tongue. Airflow® will also take away stains from the tooth surfaces.
Stage 5 – If you have periodontitis, we will use Perioflow® to remove bacteria from any areas of pocketing. Perioflow® is a pain free way to maintain periodontitis quickly and efficiently.
Stage 6 – Any remaining hard deposits will be gently taken away with our pain free instrument, again the water is warm so no need to worry about sensitivity.
Stage 7 – We will check out your fresh mouth and bright smile and apply a fluoride treatment.
