Gentle CleaningsThe future of dental cleanings, powered by biofilm science and gentle technology.
Schedule Your VisitThe Primary Driver of Gum Disease Is Biofilm
Traditional cleanings are effective at removing hardened tartar. However, tartar is not the origin of most dental disease.
The primary driver of gum inflammation is biofilm — a structured, metabolically active bacterial layer that adheres to teeth and gum tissue daily.
Biofilm releases toxins, triggers inflammatory response, and disrupts tissue integrity. If it is not systematically disrupted, inflammation persists.
Over time, chronic oral inflammation compromises long-term periodontal stability. Effective prevention must address biofilm directly — not just the visible deposits it leaves behind.
A More Measured Approach to Prevention
Conservative Tissue Preservation
- Reduced unnecessary scraping
- Preservation of enamel integrity
- Protection of healthy gum tissue
Targeted Biofilm Disruption
- Disclosing solution for visualization
- Precision air polishing technology
- Optional ozone antimicrobial support
Inflammation Management
- Reduced bleeding and sensitivity
- Improved periodontal stability
- Maintenance intervals based on biology
What Your Visit Includes
We begin with biofilm visualization using a safe disclosing solution. This allows us to treat selectively rather than aggressively.
Air polishing technology is then used to conservatively disrupt bacterial accumulation. Traditional scaling is performed only when clinically indicated.
Because this protocol is more conservative and less invasive, it can be performed more frequently than traditional six-month cleanings when managing gingival inflammation or periodontal maintenance.
Preventive intervals are determined by biology, not arbitrary timelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often can this procedure be done?
Because this protocol is more conservative and less invasive, it can be performed at shorter intervals when managing inflammation. Timing is based on your individual needs rather than a fixed six-month schedule.
Is ozone safe?
Yes, ozone has been used in dentistry for decades for its antimicrobial properties. It is adjustable and always optional based on patient preference.
Is this the same as Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a branded protocol developed by a Swiss manufacturer. While we are not affiliated with that specific system, our approach follows the same modern principles of biofilm visualization and systematic disruption using advanced air polishing technology. Our focus is on clinical sequencing and biologic outcomes rather than a single brand name.
