Keep Your Smile Clean & Healthy With Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a preventive dental treatment designed to target and swiftly address biofilm. If you’re searching for a dentist who offers this procedure so you can get back to enjoying a beautiful smile, Urban Centre Dental is the right practice for you!

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

GBT aims to improve oral health by identifying and managing biofilm to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues from developing and worsening. The therapy incorporates trusted technology such as PERIOFLOW® and EMS AIRFLOW® MAX.

Process Overview For The Treatment

Initial Assessment:

  • Our attentive and diligent dentist will begin with an oral examination and discuss your dental history and any specific concerns you may have.

Biofilm Identification:

  • As biofilm is nearly invisible to the naked eye, we utilize a special dye and apply it to the teeth to highlight areas where biofilm is present. This visual cue enables precise treatment to occur.

Polishing:

  • Using our EMS Airflow Max, we will begin removing biofilm with technology incorporating a jet of air and warm water. After biofilm removal, your teeth will be polished, making them smooth and shiny.

Calculus Removal:

  • After biofilm removal, any remaining calculus (tartar) on your teeth will be addressed using the PIEZON® PS, an ultrasonic device. This technology removes remaining calculus and discoloration, smoothing teeth and promoting better oral health.

Biofilm Removal Under Gums:

  • To ensure a successful clean, biofilm beneath the gums will be carefully removed using the PERIOFLOW technique. This method targets hard-to-reach areas, including periodontal pockets, and is crafted to deeply clean and reduce the risk of gum disease.

What Patients Are Candidates For GBT?

  • Patients of All Ages: GBT is appropriate for children, teenagers, and adults. It might also be ideal for younger patients uncomfortable with conventional polishing techniques.
  • People with Sensitive Teeth: If you have sensitive teeth, GBT could be a suitable option because it’s designed to be non-invasive.
  • Patients with Gum Disease: GBT helps maintain gum health and effectively manages biofilm for patients with periodontal disease or gingivitis.

I used to get so anxious going to the dentist, but Urban Centre Dental clinic has taken that anxiety away. All of the staff are very professional and very good at what they do, each at their own specialty- from the receptionists at the front to Alysia, Dr. Paul, Dr. Nick and Dr. Tania. The team runs very smoothly, respecting each other. If you need excellent dental care, I would highly recommend Urban Centre Dental in Fort Saskatchewan.

Dr. Nicholas Doblanko and his assistant are very patient & considerate with my anxiety. They went the extra mile to adapt and make me feel comfortable during the whole process of getting a crown recently. I find all the staff to be friendly and welcoming. Well worth the traffic hassle travelling from South Edmonton to Fort Saskatchewan.

First visit to this clinic. The staff were warm, welcoming, and professional. As an individual with somewhat of a dental phobia I appreciated the time spent explaining my plan of care and treatment options. The clinic also used dental technology that I hadn't seen in my previous clinic experience. Time was spent explaining preventitive dental self care. Will be recommending to friends and family. Thank you!

This clinic is highly recommended. I have been a patient for 7 years and have received the best treatment. I recently received 2 new crowns and had a splint replaced in addition to my regular hygiene treatment and recall exam. My splint fits like a glove and I love the functionality of my new crowns. I always receive upbeat, professional and expert care and am made to feel that all my dental needs are being met. I am a very satisfied patient!
