If the thought of dental cleanings makes you anxious, you’re not alone. Many people delay or avoid their preventive visits because they fear discomfort or past negative experiences. That’s exactly why Bee Creek Dental is proud to offer GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy).
This treatment methodology is more than just a new way to clean teeth. It’s a revolution in dental hygiene that’s gentle, precise, and tailored to put your comfort first. Plus, at our dental office, surrounded by the calming views of a horse pasture, every part of your visit is designed to feel more like a scenic retreat than a chore.
What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern, non-invasive method of dental cleaning that targets harmful biofilm, plaque made up of bacteria that can lead to gum disease and decay, without scraping or discomfort.
Instead of traditional tools, GBT uses an advanced air polishing and cleaning system called EMS Airflow to gently remove plaque while preserving the integrity of your tooth enamel and soft tissues. Here’s what sets GBT apart:
- No scraping or harsh tools: GBT relies on a warm, gentle jet of air, water, and powder to remove buildup comfortably.
- Discloses plaque for precision: A special solution makes plaque visible, so nothing gets missed during cleaning.
- Preserves enamel and gums: It’s minimally abrasive and safe for implants, veneers, and braces.
- Scientifically backed: GBT is grounded in evidence-based protocols to ensure optimal results in fewer steps.
The Comfort-Focused Advantage of GBT
Comfort isn’t just a bonus at our office. It’s the standard at Bee Creek Dental. GBT makes it easier for patients of all ages and sensitivities to stay on track with preventive care, without fear or discomfort holding them back.
Our gentle hygiene approach is especially ideal for individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive gums, or extensive dental work. Here are a few reasons why patients love the comfort of GBT:
- Less vibration, noise, and pressure during cleaning
- No jarring “scrape and polish” feel
- Shorter appointments with more thorough results
- Safe for children, elderly patients, and those with periodontal concerns
