This state-of-the-art technique not only enhances oral health but also supports systemic wellness, embodying the core values of biological dentistry.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an innovative, evidence-based method for managing dental biofilm—the primary cause of cavities, gum disease, and peri-implant infections. GBT follows a systematic eight-step protocol, ensuring thorough and gentle biofilm removal while respecting the natural balance of the oral microbiome.
GBT Meets Holistic Dentistry
At Virginia Biological Dentistry, we recognize the mouth-body connection and the importance of using biocompatible, minimally invasive treatments. GBT integrates seamlessly with our holistic philosophy by:
1. Preserving Natural Structures:
GBT’s advanced technologies, including AIRFLOW® and PIEZON®, gently clean teeth and gums without damaging healthy tissues.
2. Supporting Systemic Health:
Effective biofilm management helps prevent not only oral issues but also systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, aligning with our commitment to whole-body wellness.
3. Using Non-Toxic Materials:
GBT utilizes biocompatible materials, such as the AIRFLOW® PLUS Powder, made from erythritol, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
4. Empowering Patients:
By using biofilm disclosers, GBT helps patients visualize problem areas and understand the importance of preventive care, fostering a partnership in health.
5. Offering Minimally Invasive and Comfortable Care:
