Guided Biofilm Therapy: The Future of Gentle, Effective Teeth Cleaning

At Dr. Adam R. Pershing’s Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re always striving to bring our patients the most advanced, effective, and comfortable dental treatments. That’s why we’re proud to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a revolutionary approach to teeth cleaning that is changing the way we think about dental care.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

GBT is a state-of-the-art teeth cleaning technique that targets biofilm—the sticky, harmful bacterial film that forms on your teeth and gums. Biofilm can be responsible for plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease, but traditional cleanings often miss the biofilm in the deep pockets of your gums and between your teeth.

Using the latest in dental technology, Guided Biofilm Therapy carefully and precisely removes biofilm while leaving your tooth enamel and sensitive tissues intact. This method is less invasive and far more comfortable than traditional scaling and root planing, offering a superior clean without the harsh scraping of traditional tools.

How Does It Work?

Biofilm Detection: GBT starts with the use of a special dye that highlights areas where biofilm has formed. This ensures that your hygienist targets the exact spots where bacteria are hiding, allowing for a more thorough cleaning.
Gentle Cleaning: Once the biofilm is identified, GBT uses an air-flow system that gently cleans the teeth with a combination of air, water, and fine powder. This technique allows for effective removal of the bacteria without the harsh vibrations or scraping of traditional methods.
Smooth Finish: After the biofilm is removed, your teeth are left feeling smooth, clean, and polished. Plus, the treatment is far less invasive, reducing the discomfort and sensitivity often associated with traditional cleanings.

Why Is GBT More Effective and Gentle?

More Thorough Cleaning: Traditional cleanings often miss the deep pockets of your gums and between your teeth where biofilm hides. GBT’s precision means that all areas are thoroughly cleaned, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Less Discomfort: Since GBT uses gentle air-flow technology and does not rely on scraping, many patients report a more comfortable experience. There’s less vibration, and because GBT is non-invasive, there is less post-treatment sensitivity.
Better for Your Gums: GBT targets harmful bacteria in a way that’s gentler on your gums. It’s perfect for those with sensitive gums or gum disease since it helps reduce inflammation without causing trauma to delicate tissue.
Faster Treatment: With GBT, your appointment is often quicker and more efficient than traditional cleanings. You’ll leave our office with cleaner, healthier teeth in less time!
