As a dental professional, I am always looking for ways to improve the treatment options we offer to our patients. That’s why I’m excited to share with you the latest addition to our practice: Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). This innovative treatment has been a game-changer for us and our patients, and I’m proud to say that we’ve received great feedback since we started offering it.
GBT is a modern approach to dental cleaning that uses advanced technology and techniques to remove plaque and biofilm from teeth more effectively than traditional methods. It involves a combination of air polishing, ultrasonic scaling, and a special disclosing agent that highlights areas of plaque on your teeth.
Air polishing is a gentle and efficient way to remove surface stains and biofilm from your teeth. The procedure uses a specially designed handpiece that delivers a fine powder of sodium bicarbonate, water, and air to clean your teeth. This method is more effective and gentler than traditional scaling, which can be uncomfortable and cause sensitivity.
Ultrasonic scaling uses high-frequency vibrations to break up and remove stubborn calculus deposits on your teeth. This method is more effective and comfortable than traditional hand scaling, which can be time-consuming and cause discomfort.
The disclosing agent is a special dye that is applied to your teeth to highlight areas of plaque and biofilm. This helps us to identify problem areas and focus our cleaning efforts on those areas.
There are several benefits to choosing GBT over traditional cleaning methods:
1. More Effective: GBT is a more effective way to remove plaque and biofilm from your teeth than traditional cleaning methods. It uses advanced technology and techniques to target problem areas and remove buildup more efficiently.
2. More Comfortable: GBT is a gentler way to clean your teeth than traditional scaling and polishing methods. The air polishing and ultrasonic scaling procedures are both comfortable and more gentle on your teeth and gums.
3. Faster Treatment Time: GBT is a faster way to clean your teeth than traditional methods. The combination of air polishing and ultrasonic scaling allows us to clean your teeth more efficiently, reducing the time you spend in the chair.
4. Better Results: Our patients have reported excellent results with GBT. They love how clean and fresh their teeth feel after the treatment, and many have noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of their teeth.
As a dental professional, I have had the opportunity to experience GBT firsthand, and I must say, I’m impressed. The treatment is gentle, efficient, and leaves your teeth feeling incredibly clean. The warm water used in the procedure also makes for a really pleasant feeling, and my teeth looked whiter than they have in ages. GBT is much less invasive but reaches areas that I felt the previous method just didn’t reach as effectively.
If you’d like to experience this fantastic spa-like treatment, book in to see myself or Amiee for your GBT clean today. I hope to see you soon!
In Conclusion
GBT is a modern approach to dental cleaning that offers several benefits over traditional methods. It’s more effective, more comfortable, faster, and provides better results. If you’re interested in trying GBT for yourself, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us.
