Guided Biofilm Therapy Burke, Virginia
Early in the 1970s, two scientific pioneers determined that plaque control, when combined with other methodologies, could reduce or eliminate cavities and gum disease. Their research resulted in Guided Biofilm Therapy, or GBT, and has since revolutionized dentistry and the annual cleaning.
At Cosmetic Dental Associates of Burke, we believe that GBT is essential to maintaining good oral health and a beautiful smile. Biofilm plaque not only contributes to the onset of cavities and periodontal disease, but can also contribute to serious illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. If you'd like more information on Guided Biofilm Therapy in Burke, call Cosmetic Dental Associates of Burke, and we'll answer all your questions.
How Does Guided Biofilm Therapy Work?
The traditional method of cleaning your teeth involves using a rotating brush to remove plaque, and sometimes a sharp instrument is needed to remove stubborn areas. The techniques used for conventional cleaning prohibit many people from receiving the treatment they need. Those with braces, implants, restorations, and sensitive gums may be unable to tolerate the procedures necessary for traditional teeth cleaning.
GBT methods are so gentle that they can be used even on the tongue and gums. GBT combines a gentle stream of pressurized warm water with air and powder to painlessly remove the biofilm from your teeth. For hardened tartar or calculus, a special handpiece can remove the substances without the need for gritty paste, heavy vibration, or scraping. The result is a beautiful smile that's also clean and healthy.
What Benefits Does GBT Provide?
Guided Biofilm Therapy provides many benefits, including:
- Comfort during treatment
- Fewer cavities and gum disease
- No scraping required
- Shorter treatment time
- Whiter teeth
The powder that GBT uses removes discoloration and stains from tooth enamel, so you have whiter teeth without the need for a whitening procedure.
In addition, patients appreciate the warm-water treatment, which eliminates the need for painful scraping and invasive cleaning. Anyone with sensitive gums or teeth will be especially appreciative of GBT's gentleness.
