Guided Biofilm Therapy: A Gentle Approach to Dental Cleanings Arlington

How Does GBT Work?

The traditional method for removing plaque was scraping with a sharp instrument for small areas and using a rotating dremel-like tool for larger areas. It was noisy and uncomfortable and caused many patients to delay needed treatment.

GBT, however, uses a pressurized stream of warm water to remove plaque. Combined with a powder, GBT can remove plaque from otherwise inaccessible areas.

For significantly hardened plaque, this special tool uses a slight vibration to loosen and remove the plaque, also called tartar or calculus. Your dentist no longer needs unpleasant paste, heavy vibration, or a sharp scraping instrument to remove plaque and restore oral health. You'll have a beautiful smile without discomfort!

What Benefits Does GBT Offer?

When your dentist uses guided biofilm therapy, you'll experience:

• Better stain removal
• Comfort
• Decreased decay and gum disease
• No uncomfortable scraping
• No harsh vibration
• Shorter treatment time
• Whiter teeth

Your dental cleanings will be more effective and more comfortable when your dentist uses GBT for your next dental cleaning!

GBT is appropriate for most people, including those who have implants, orthodontic braces, and restorations. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, GBT can be advantageous for you as well.
