Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a cutting-edge approach to preventive and maintenance dental care. Far beyond a traditional dental cleaning, GBT uses advanced AIRFLOW® technology from EMS to target and eliminate harmful biofilm on teeth and gums, delivering a more comfortable, effective, and thorough treatment with less reliance on traditional scraping techniques.
WHY CHOOSE GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY?
Biofilm—a sticky, bacteria-filled substance—plays a significant role in tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Guided Biofilm Therapy provides a more precise, minimally invasive way to remove biofilm, ensuring optimal oral health and a more pleasant experience compared to traditional cleanings.

The Guided Biofilm Therapy Process at Innovative Dental Concepts
Assessment and Disclosure
We start by assessing your oral health and applying a dye to highlight biofilm on your teeth. This step allows us to visualize and target problem areas precisely.
AIRFLOW® Technology
Using AIRFLOW®, a combination of air, water, and a fine powder, we gently remove biofilm, stains, and early buildup from teeth, gums, and hard-to-reach areas.
Minimally Invasive Scaling
After AIRFLOW®, any remaining deposits are carefully removed with Piezo ultrasonic technology reducing discomfort. Metal scaling instruments are used substantially less than traditionally techniques.
Polishing and Prevention
Your teeth are polished and protected, leaving you with a clean, smooth smile. We’ll also provide personalized tips for maintaining oral health at home.
Interesting Fact
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology showed that Guided Biofilm Therapy improves patient comfort and delivers better plaque and biofilm removal compared to traditional cleaning methods.
