Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
Modern dental care goes beyond traditional cleaning. Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a gentle, technology-driven approach that removes harmful biofilm, stains, and plaque with greater precision and comfort. At Aviator Dental Hygiene, this innovative system allows us to provide a deeper, more efficient cleaning while keeping your experience relaxed and pain-free.
Why Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Matters
A More Comfortable Cleaning Experience
GBT replaces the heavy scraping associated with traditional cleanings. Using warm water, fine powder, and air technology, biofilm is gently removed while protecting your teeth and gums.
Targets the Root Cause of Dental Issues
Dental biofilm is the main cause of cavities, gum disease, and inflammation. By visualizing and removing biofilm more effectively, GBT helps prevent problems before they develop.
Better for Sensitive Teeth and Implants
The guided system is safe for natural teeth, restorations, braces, and implants. It’s especially beneficial for patients with sensitivity or those requiring ongoing periodontal care.
Step-by-Step: How GBT Works
Biofilm Disclosure
A safe disclosing solution highlights biofilm on the teeth. This allows both the dentist and patient to see exactly where bacteria are accumulating.
Gentle Airflow Cleaning
A controlled stream of air, warm water, and fine powder removes biofilm and stains from teeth, gum lines, and hard-to-reach areas.
Precision Scaling (If Needed)
Any remaining hardened deposits are carefully removed with minimally invasive instruments.
Final Polish and Gum Care
Teeth are polished and the gums are evaluated to ensure your mouth is healthy and fully cleaned. Before you leave, our team shares personalized oral care tips to help you maintain your results at home.
