The GBT Procedure
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern, gentle, and highly effective method for professional teeth cleaning. It uses advanced technology to remove plaque (biofilm), stains, and tartar in a minimally invasive way.
1
Examination
Your hygienist will perform a comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums and other areas to check for signs of disease and assess your oral health needs.
2
Disclosing
A special solution is applied to disclose and stain areas of biofilm buildup. This makes even small areas of plaque visible so they can be removed.
3
Guidance
Our hygienist will provide instructions for proper daily oral hygiene techniques like brushing and flossing, this is to ensure you can maintain optimal oral health after GBT.
4
Airflow
The Airflow Prophylaxis Master is used to loosen biofilm, plaque and surface stains from tooth surfaces. The airflow device disturbs biofilm in a much less abrasive way than metal tools.
5
Aftercare
After your treatment, you will receive personalised guidance on maintaining your oral hygiene at home, including brushing, flossing and any recommended tools to support your gum health.

Ongoing Support
Once your treatment is complete, your hygienist will advise on the frequency of your future GBT appointments.
