Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern approach to dental cleanings that gently removes harmful bacteria while protecting your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional scraping methods, it uses advanced technology to deliver a more comfortable experience. Patients often find their visits easier, less stressful, and more effective at keeping their smile healthy. At Strawberry Hill Family Dental in Surrey, BC, you can schedule your GBT appointment today and see the difference for yourself.
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
GBT targets biofilm, a sticky layer of bacteria that can cause cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. By removing biofilm before it hardens into tartar, this therapy makes it easier to maintain a healthy smile and avoid future dental issues. It gives patients a cleaner, fresher feeling without the need for aggressive tools.
- Addresses the root cause: Biofilm is gently removed before it turns into tartar, lowering risks of decay and gum problems
- Gentle on sensitive teeth: Patients with sensitivity often find GBT more comfortable than traditional methods
- Keeps your smile fresher: By reducing bacteria, GBT helps control bad breath and leaves your mouth feeling cleaner
The Advantages Of Choosing GBT For Dental Cleanings
GBT makes dental cleanings easier and more enjoyable while providing excellent results. It’s safe, precise, and personalized to match your individual oral health needs. Many patients find it reduces stress during routine visits.
- A more comfortable cleaning: Airflow technology replaces scraping, creating a soothing experience
- Tailored to your needs: Works well for patients with braces, implants, or natural teeth
- Improved gum health: Supports healthier gums by reducing inflammation and buildup over time
The Step-By-Step GBT Treatment Process
GBT is designed to make cleanings simple and effective. First, areas of buildup are identified using a solution that highlights biofilm. Then gentle airflow technology removes bacteria and stains, and the visit finishes with a smooth polish.
- Biofilm detection: A safe solution highlights areas of buildup so they can be cleaned thoroughly
- Airflow technology: Warm water, air, and fine powder gently clear away biofilm and surface stains
- Smooth finish: Teeth are polished at the end, leaving them clean and refreshed
GBT Vs. Traditional Dental Cleanings
Traditional cleanings often rely on scraping tools that can feel rough and uncomfortable. Guided Biofilm Therapy provides a gentler, more precise, and preventive approach. Patients leave feeling refreshed instead of worn out.
- Enjoy a gentler experience: Airflow cleaning is less invasive than scraping tools, helping anxious patients and children feel more comfortable
- Get a deeper clean: Biofilm is removed in places manual tools may miss, such as between teeth or around orthodontic appliances
- Protect your smile earlier: GBT removes bacteria before it becomes tartar, unlike traditional methods that address buildup after it hardens
- Leave feeling renewed: Patients often describe their teeth as smoother and brighter compared to standard cleanings
How GBT Supports Long-Term Oral Health
Consistent GBT treatments make it easier to protect your teeth and gums over time. Patients who include GBT in their regular care often experience fewer dental issues and a healthier smile overall. It’s a valuable way to support both short-term freshness and long-term wellness.
- Stops decay before it starts: By removing bacteria early, GBT reduces the chances of needing fillings later
- Protects gum health: Many patients notice fewer signs of gum irritation or bleeding after routine GBT visits
- Confidence that lasts: Fresher breath and cleaner teeth help you feel more comfortable day to day
