Guided Biofilm Therapy in SW Edmonton
Guided Biofilm Therapy Near You
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy near you is a dental cleaning method that uses a special disclosing gel and air-polishing system. First, we apply a safe dye that colours the biofilm, which is the sticky layer of bacteria on your teeth. It helps us clearly see where the bacteria are hiding. Then we use warm water, gentle air pressure, and fine powder to clean the teeth and gums. It reaches areas that normal brushing often misses.
Why Do We Recommend GBT?
Our dentist near you recommends GBT because it gives a deeper clean while still being gentle. Many patients say they feel more comfortable with this method than with traditional scraping tools. GBT also helps reduce gum inflammation, bleeding gums, and early signs of gingivitis. This treatment is perfect for people with braces, crowns, implants, or sensitive teeth.
How the GBT Process Works
- Check-Up: Our dentist in SW Edmonton first examines your teeth and gums to understand your oral health needs.
- Biofilm Check: We apply a special disclosing gel that shows the biofilm on your teeth.
- Air-Polishing: Warm water, air pressure, and powder remove stains and biofilm from all tooth surfaces.
- Deep Cleaning: If needed, we gently clean areas under the gums to help prevent periodontal disease.
- Oral Hygiene Tips: We guide you on better brushing and flossing so you can keep your mouth clean at home.
This step-by-step process makes the cleaning more accurate and more comfortable.
