What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is an advanced method for removing harmful biofilm (plaque) from your teeth, gums, and around dental restorations. Instead of the traditional “scraping first” approach, GBT uses a guided, step-by-step process that is gentle, precise, and highly effective.
What Makes it Different?
GBT is designed with your comfort and health in mind:
- Air polishing technology removes plaque and stains without discomfort.
- Warm water and fine powder create a gentle, spa-like experience.
- Targeted treatment focuses only where biofilm is present.
- Minimally invasive—no unnecessary scraping
- Erythritol powder (≈14 microns) is far less abrasive than traditional polishing pastes and even gentler than glycine, making it safer for enamel, composite, ceramics, implants, and soft tissues—while also offering antibacterial and anticariogenic benefits.
Why Biofilm Matters
Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that can lead to:
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Bad breath
- Inflammation that affects overall health
By removing biofilm thoroughly and regularly, we help protect not just your smile—but your whole-body health.

- Patients with sensitive teeth
- Children and teens
