Guided Biofilm Therapy in Berkley

Developed by a Swiss company, Guided Biofilm Therapy, or GBT, is a comfortable, non-invasive, and effective method for removing dental biofilms such as plaque. It can be effective for those who have:

• Braces
• Bridges
• Crowns
• Gum disease
• Implants
• Veneers

With GBT, patients who were unable to receive effective biofilm treatment due to dental devices can now maintain better oral and physical health.

Biofilm, such as plaque, has been linked to periodontal disease as well as physical diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. GBT enables all patients to maintain good oral and physical health.

How Does GBT Work?

Until the development of GBT, biofilm was removed using a rotary tool and a scraper. It was painful for many, especially those with sensitive teeth and gums, gum disease, and specific dental restorations. GBT, however, is very gentle and can be used on anyone. Those who dread the discomfort of dental cleanings now have an option for clean, healthy teeth without the pain and discomfort of traditional methods.

GBT uses air, powder, and pressurized warm water to remove plaque from your teeth, and it can reach difficult-to-access areas. Sometimes, a handpiece with a special tip can be used in conjunction with a stream of warm water and slight vibration to remove very stubborn calculus.

What Are the Benefits of GBT?

You no longer need to be subjected to painful scraping, unpleasant and gritty paste, or heavy vibration in order to maintain good oral health. You can have a clean, healthy smile that's also relatively painless when you use GBT! Your cleanings will include:

• Comfort
• Shorter treatment time
• Fewer cavities and gum disease
• Whiter teeth
• No painful scraping

Our patients love GBT, and we see them more often! Their teeth are cleaner and whiter, and their overall health is better. GBT removes stains as well, so you can have whiter teeth without a whitening treatment!
