Dental Cleanings with GBT Airflow
Why We Use Guided Biofilm Therapy GPT?
Many people still associate dental visits or dental cleanings with discomfort and anxiety. Most practitioners continue to use traditional cleaning methods that have not changed much since they were developed in 1960. These often use sharp instruments and abrasive pastes that can be uncomfortable and unnecessarily harsh on your teeth and gums.
That’s why we’ve adopted Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), which uses innovative technologies for professional dental cleaning. GBT uses advanced tools like AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® NO PAIN to gently and thoroughly remove plaque (biofilm), stains, and tartar. It’s not as invasive, painless, and incredibly effective.
Backed by extensive research, GBT follows a proven 8-step process that ensures a consistently high standard of care. By replacing outdated methods with GBT, we’re able to protect your tooth structure, reduce gum irritation, and support your long-term oral health, all while making your visit to the dentist more comfortable than ever.
What is Biofilm?
Oral biofilm is a harmful layer of bacteria that naturally builds up on teeth and gums, and is more destructive than you realize. These bacteria can inflame and damage your gums, erode bone, and weaken the structures that hold your teeth in place.
Even more concerning, biofilm bacteria can enter the bloodstream and may contribute to serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other inflammatory illnesses. Over time, biofilm also hardens into tartar, making it even harder to remove without professional care.
However, biofilm is both invisible and odourless, which causes it to often go unnoticed. Guided Biofilm Therapy from EMS is designed to detect and remove biofilm gently but thoroughly, helping you maintain a healthier mouth and body.
Biofilm is Responsible For:
- Cavities, bad breath, tooth loss, implant loss
- Gingivitis = gum bleeding
- Periodontal disease = gum infections, receding gums
