Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) in Vancouver BC

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is an evidence-based, systematic approach to dental hygiene that focuses on the complete removal of biofilm—the primary cause of cavities, gum disease, and peri-implant infections.

Unlike traditional cleaning methods, GBT:

  • Identifies biofilm using a disclosing agent
  • Removes it gently with airflow technology
  • Preserves healthy tooth structure and soft tissue
  • Enhances patient comfort and outcomes

It’s prevention done right—precise, predictable, and personalized.

Why Biofilm Matters

Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth, gums, and dental implants. If not properly managed, it can lead to:
  • Gingivitis and periodontitis
  • Tooth decay
  • Peri-implant disease
  • Systemic health concerns
GBT targets biofilm at its source—before it causes damage.

The GBT Protocol: Step-by-Step Care

Your GBT appointment follows a structured, science-based protocol:

  1. Assessment – Comprehensive exam of teeth, gums, and implants
  2. Disclosing – Biofilm is highlighted for precise removal
  3. Motivation – Personalized oral hygiene guidance
  4. Airflow Cleaning – Gentle removal of biofilm, stains, and early plaque
  5. Perio/Implant Care – Specialized cleaning for deeper pockets or implants
  6. Check & Protect – Final evaluation and preventive recommendations

Every step is tailored to your specific needs.
