Have you ever wondered what happens when traditional teeth cleaning gets a modern makeover? Meet Guided Biofilm Therapy, or GBT for short. It’s a gentle, high-tech and ultra-refreshing way to keep your smile shining. At Lifelong Dental, where dental cleanings in Lara just got a whole lot more exciting, GBT is a spa-like experience for your mouth.
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy isn’t your grandparents’ typical scrape-and-polish type of cleaning. It’s a systematic, evidence-based protocol using devices like AirFlow®, PerioFlow® and Piezon® to remove the sneaky, colourless menace known as ‘biofilm’. GBT is a superhero squad for plaque, swooping in with air, water and fine powder to leave your teeth squeaky-clean and your gums singing with joy.
Here’s what makes GBT so special:
- High-tech precision — No guesswork here; we can actually see the biofilm before we remove it.
- Gentle cleaning — Say goodbye to heavy scraping and hello to a smooth, comfortable experience.
- Stain erasing — Lifts away coffee, tea and wine stains so your smile sparkles.
- Gum-friendly — Gentle enough for sensitive gums, kids and even dental implants.
- Thorough results — Cleans every nook, cranny and hidden spot without missing a beat.
At our Lara dental clinic, we love offering GBT because it improves your oral health and gives you a reason to look forward to your next appointment.
What Are the Steps Involved in Guided Biofilm Therapy?
GBT follows an easy-to-follow, eight-step choreography that dances its way to dental brilliance:
- Assess (and rinse!) — A quick oral health review, followed by a BacterX® mouthwash rinse to keep the germs at bay.
- Pinpoint — A harmless dye makes biofilm pop into view.
- Motivate — Your GBT hygienist becomes your cheerleader, guiding you on home care with personalised pep talks.
- AirFlow® Max — A gentle spray of air, water and fine erythritol powder lifts away biofilm and stains.
- PerioFlow® — For deeper cleaning in gum pockets, this nozzle reaches places traditional tools miss.
- Piezon® PS — Leaving no stone unturned, this tech tidies up any remaining calcified deposits gently.
- Check — We confirm everything’s clean, may apply fluoride and skip the old-school polishing.
- Revisit — Accountability is the key to consistency. We arrange your next visit based on your unique needs and gather your smile feedback.
What Are the Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy?
- Gentle and Comfortable — AirFlow® cleans without clattering tools or gritty paste. Many patients say it’s the most relaxing part of their day.
- Smart Biofilm Removal — You and your hygienist can see the biofilm with a harmless dye to make cleaning more targeted and thorough.
- Healthy for Gums and Implants — GBT is gentle on gums, crowns, veneers and implants. It helps prevent scratches and ensures long-term oral harmony.
- Efficient and Effective — Because GBT handles biofilm first, sanitisation time drops and treatment efficiency soars, so you spend less time in the chair for a brighter result.
- Prevents Disease — GBT helps ward off gum disease, tooth decay and even protects against systemic risks like heart and respiratory issues.
