GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY (GBT)
IN LAS VEGAS & HENDERSON, NV
ANTHEM PERIO, LAS VEGAS' CHOICE FOR ADVANCED PERIODONTICS
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern approach to professional dental cleaning that focuses on removing oral biofilm—the primary cause of many common dental and gum conditions. Instead of beginning with scraping or polishing, GBT follows a structured, step-by-step process that makes biofilm visible, removes it efficiently, and addresses hardened deposits only when necessary.
This approach allows for a more precise, comfortable, and tissue-friendly cleaning experience while supporting long-term oral health.
Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
GBT is designed to be more targeted and less invasive than traditional dental cleanings, making it an excellent option for patients seeking comfort without compromising results.
Benefits include:
- Precise removal of biofilm by making it visible before cleaning
- A gentler, more comfortable experience for sensitive teeth and gums
- Improved gum health through effective biofilm management
- Better patient understanding of oral hygiene habits
- Reduced abrasion to tooth surfaces
- Effective maintenance around dental restorations, orthodontics, and implants
The Guided Biofilm Therapy Process
Guided Biofilm Therapy follows a standardized, adaptable protocol that is customized based on each patient’s oral health needs.
