Your Most Comfortable Dental Cleaning Yet: The GBT Experience
Do you dread your dental cleaning? Do the sounds of scraping tools and the gritty feel of polishing paste make you anxious? You’re not alone. But what if there was a way to get a complete, professional cleaning that was minimally invasive, incredibly comfortable, and even more effective than traditional methods?
Introducing Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a revolutionary new approach that completely changes the patient experience. Forget the discomfort of old-school cleanings. GBT is a gentle, painless, and highly efficient solution that leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
What Makes GBT a Different Kind of Cleaning?
GBT is a systematic protocol that focuses on the root cause of most dental problems: dental biofilm. This sticky film of bacteria is responsible for cavities and gum disease. By using advanced, gentle technology, GBT ensures this biofilm is removed completely without the need for harsh methods. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- No more scraping: GBT utilizes the AIRFLOW device, which uses a gentle stream of warm water and a fine powder to comfortably and efficiently remove biofilm, stains, and early calculus from your teeth. It feels like a soothing spa treatment for your mouth, not a cleaning.
- No more brushes: The AIRFLOW technology is so effective that it can clean areas that brushes and rubber cups often miss, including around braces, implants, and restorations, making it ideal for a wide range of patients.
- No more paste: After the biofilm and calculus are removed, your teeth are left feeling naturally smooth and clean. The final step involves a fluoride application and a special foam that leaves a fresh feeling, eliminating the need for traditional, gritty polishing paste.
Your GBT Journey: The 8 Steps from Your Chair
Your GBT cleaning is a personalized, eight-step journey to a healthier smile. It’s designed to be comfortable and educational, with your health and safety as the top priority.
- See the Bacteria: The process starts with a special mouth rinse that harmlessly stains the dental biofilm. You’ll get to see exactly where the bacteria are hiding. It’s a powerful visual that helps you understand the importance of a thorough cleaning and how to improve your daily habits.
- Learn and Grow: Your hygienist will use the stained biofilm to give you personalized tips and tricks on how to better care for your teeth at home, making you an active partner in your oral health.
- The Gentle Clean: The main cleaning is performed with the AIRFLOW device. This gentle spray is used for your natural teeth, implants, and restorations. For deeper pockets, the PERIOFLOW nozzle ensures a complete clean without any discomfort.
- Targeted Removal: Once all the soft biofilm is gone, any remaining hard calculus is easy to see and remove with the ultra-minimally invasive PIEZON instrument. This precise tool gets the job done without the scraping and pressure of traditional tools.
- A Fresh Finish: Your teeth are checked one last time, and a fluoride treatment is applied, followed by a refreshing foam. Your mouth will feel incredibly smooth and clean, without any of the discomfort you might be used to.
- Your Personalized Plan: The last step is to create a recall schedule tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your smile stays healthy and bright for the long term.
Whether you have braces, dental implants, or just want a more comfortable and effective routine cleaning, GBT is a proven, patient-friendly solution. It’s truly a better way to clean.
