What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern approach to dental care that focuses on thorough and systematic biofilm (dental plaque) removal through an evidence-based, 8-step process. Unlike traditional scaling methods, GBT uses innovative airflow technology, specialized powders, and gentle water irrigation to ensure effective yet comfortable cleaning.
The treatment specifically targets biofilm - the sticky bacterial layer that causes tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. GBT represents a paradigm shift in preventive dental care, emphasizing patient comfort while delivering superior clinical results, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, dental restorations, or implants.

What are the Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy?
The primary benefit of Guided Biofilm Therapy is thorough biofilm removal while maintaining maximum patient comfort. Key benefits include:
Enhanced Comfort: Gentle airflow technology eliminates harsh scraping, making your cleaning experience pleasant and pain-free.
Superior Cleaning: The systematic process ensures complete biofilm removal from all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas.
Safe for Restorations: Non-abrasive treatment won't damage crowns, veneers, fillings, or dental implants.
Reduced Treatment Time: An Efficient process often requires less chair time while delivering superior results.
Better Stain Removal: Airflow technology effectively removes surface stains, leaving teeth noticeably brighter.
Suitable for All Ages: Gentle enough for children and patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
What is the Difference Between GBT and Traditional Dental Cleaning?
While both procedures can effectively clean teeth, GBT offers distinct advantages over traditional methods.
Benefits of traditional cleaning include:
- Widely available at most dental offices
- May be covered by dental insurance
- Effective for basic plaque removal
However, traditional methods often rely on metal instruments that can be uncomfortable and may not reach all areas effectively, particularly around dental work.
GBT advantages:
- More comfortable with no harsh scraping
- More thorough, reaching areas that traditional tools cannot access
- Safer for restorations and implants
- Superior stain removal capabilities
- Reduced post-treatment sensitivity
If you're unsure which approach is best for you, discuss your concerns with Dr. Paez during your consultation.
