Guided Biofilm Therapy in Sun Prairie

Here at Westside Dental, we are proud and pleased to be able to offer GBT to our patients. We find it to be an incredible treatment for maintaining strong oral health and beautifying smiles. Biofilm plaque is something that most people don't know about. In addition to contributing to the onset of cavities and periodontal disease, this harmful plaque also elevates risk for things like diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. If you're ready to take control of your oral health and learn more about Guided Biofilm Therapy in Sun Prairie, simply call Westside Dental today to get started. 

How Do Dentists Use Guided Biofilm Therapy?

You may have had a deep-cleaning experience at your dentist that involved a forceful rotating brush that removed plaque in the past. If you had stubborn plaque, your dentist may have even used sharp tools. GBT is nothing like this.

Rest assured that GBT is a gentle, painless technique. In fact, GBT is so gentle that it's even used on the tongue and gums. You can even use GBT if you have braces, dental restorations, dental implants, or sensitive gums because it doesn't use force.

During a GBT treatment, a gentle stream of pressurized warm water with air and powder is used to painlessly remove biofilm that's attached to your teeth. If you have stubborn, hardened dental plaque or brown deposits, your dentist can use a special handpiece that doesn't require scraping or heavy vibrations. 

Why Is GBT Better Than Other Options for Plaque Remove?

Guided Biofilm Therapy offers unmatched comfort and results! Some reasons why dentists are increasingly recommending GBT over other options include:

• GBT provides a comfortable experience without pain or pressure in the mouth.
• It can dramatically reduce your risks for cavities, dental decay, and gum disease.
• This is a gentle approach that doesn't require scraping.
• Teeth often look whiter and brighter following treatment.
• No scraping required.
• Shorter treatment duration compared to traditional scraping methods.

Something that really excites our patients is that GBT can have terrific whitening effects. During treatment, the powder used with GBT helps to lift staining and discoloration from tooth enamel to create a whitening effect without the need for a separate whitening procedure. 

Something else that's often unexpected for clients is how pleasant GBT feels. This is a warm-water treatment that replaces cold fluids or intensive scraping with warm, soothing water. This is exciting for patients who have sensitive teeth and gums.
