Bright Life Dentistry is the only certified GBT practice in the Virginia Beach and surrounding areas.
Minimally invasive. Pain free. Less use of hand instruments. No more brushes and no more polishing with paste. As part of our patients' regular cleaning we now use Guided Biofilm Therapy, GBT.
What is GBT?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a scientifically proven, systematic, predictable solution for dental biofilm management in professional dental cleaning, using state of the art AIRFLOW ®, PERIOFLOW ® and Ultrasonic Scaler technologies.
Guided Biofilm Therapy consists of treatment protocols based on individual patient diagnosis and risk assessment in order to achieve optimal results. The treatment is given in the least invasive way, with the highest level of comfort, safety and efficiency.
Before removal, the biofilm is always disclosed with a dye solution. Then biofilm and young calculus are easily removed with AIRFLOW ® and PERIOFLOW ® – above and below the gum. If needed this is followed by debridement with Ultrasonic Scaler PS No Pain piezoceramic instruments.
Guided Biofilm Therapy is truly minimally invasive and reduces the need of hand and sonic/ultra-sonic instrumentation. It is safe, effective and gentle to teeth and soft tissues, implants and restorations.
GBT is part of a comprehensive preventive concept – to preserve your patients’ oral health – and to make the patients feel good.
Benefits of GBT Include:
Superior cleaning - Highly effective at removing difficult stains from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco.
Minimally invasive, gentler and more comfortable than a traditional cleaning.
Dental cleanings using GBT are faster and therefore means spending less time in the dental chair.
Why is GBT a ‘Game Changer’?
GBT is Modern, Painless and Minimally Invasive.
This contemporary approach begins with above and below gum biofilm removal using air-polishing technology with AIRFLOW ® PLUS ® Powder. This erythritol-based powder guarantees targeted, gentle, risk-orientated removal of the biofilm.
This is followed by the minimally invasive removal of mineralized build-up with Ultrasonic Scaler NO PAIN. This approach has many additional benefits, including short treatment times and maximum comfort for both the technician and the patient. GBT is minimally invasive. Polishing paste and rubber cups are no longer necessary.
With GBT, we can finally carry out professional biofilm management effectively, gently, safely, quickly, comfortably and without pain.
