What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
GBT is a revolutionary approach to professional dental cleanings that targets biofilm — the sticky layer of bacteria that causes gum disease. Unlike traditional deep cleanings, GBT uses gentle air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque and tartar without scraping or discomfort.
GBT is ideal for patients with gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), dental implants, braces, or those simply looking for a better dental cleaning experience. Call (520) 625-0131 to schedule your Green Valley GBT cleaning today!
Why choose GBT cleanings?
Stops gum disease in its tracks
GBT eliminates harmful biofilm and bacteria above and below the gum line, helping to prevent and treat gum disease effectively.
Gentle on teeth, tough on bacteria
No scraping. No poking. GBT uses air polishing and ultrasonic tools to clean thoroughly and gently, preserving your enamel and soft tissues.
Fresher breath and cleaner feel
By removing bacteria that cause odor and inflammation, GBT leaves your mouth feeling clean, fresh, and healthy.
Supports your overall health
Gum health is closely linked to your general health. Treating and preventing gum disease may help reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more.
How It Works
- Assessment & Disclosing: We’ll apply a harmless dye that highlights biofilm, showing exactly where bacteria is hiding.
- Air Polishing: Using warm water and fine powder, we gently polish away the biofilm and surface stains.
- Ultrasonic Cleaning: We remove deeper tartar buildup, ensuring your teeth and gums are completely clean.
- Aftercare & Maintenance: We’ll guide you on how to maintain your results and support long-term gum health at home.
FAQs about GBT cleanings
Is GBT better than traditional deep cleaning?
For many patients, yes! GBT is more comfortable and equally (or more) effective at removing plaque and tartar, especially when used early or as a regular preventive measure.
Will GBT hurt?
Not at all. GBT is known for being pain-free. Most patients find it significantly more comfortable than traditional scaling.
How often should I get a GBT cleaning?
It depends on your oral health needs. For those with gum disease, we may recommend more frequent cleanings. We’ll tailor your plan during your visit.
Is GBT safe for implants or braces?
Yes! GBT is ideal for cleaning around implants, crowns, braces, and bridges without causing damage.
