Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern approach to professional dental hygiene that focuses on identifying and effectively removing dental biofilm, the sticky layer of bacteria that forms on teeth and along the gumline. By “air powder polishing” with a personalized approach, Guided Biofilm Therapy can make professional cleanings more thorough, comfortable, and precise. In fact, air powder polishing is five times more effective than the old traditional rubber cup polishing!
A More Personalized Approach to Dental Hygiene
Guided Biofilm Therapy begins with the identification of areas where biofilm has accumulated. A specialized disclosing solution can make biofilm visible, allowing your dental professional to see areas that may otherwise be difficult to detect and focus treatment where it is needed most.
How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works
Once the biofilm has been identified, advanced air polishing technology can be used to gently remove it from the teeth and around the gumline. Depending on your individual needs, additional professional cleaning techniques may be used to remove deposits that cannot be removed through air polishing alone.
