Cleaning that combines efficiency, comfort and technology
At REMA Dentists, we've reimagined what dental cleaning is . We are delighted to offer you Biofilm Guided Therapy (GBT), a modern and effective method for cleaning your teeth.
Unlike traditional cleaning methods, which can miss harmful bacteria in hard-to-reach places, GBT uses innovative technology to detect and eliminate 100% of oral biofilm.
Thanks to a gentle air jet, polishing powder, and warm water, the GBT delivers a spa-like experience for your teeth, making cleaning faster and more effective. Whether you're caring for your gums, wear braces or implants, or simply want to maintain your smile, the GBT adapts to your needs.
Let's work together to keep your smile healthy, starting with your next visit.
What is biofilm-guided therapy?
Biofilm-guided therapy is a professional dental cleaning protocol that uses visual tools and modern devices to remove dental plaque (biofilm), surface stains, and tartar, all with minimal discomfort.
The process includes the following elements:
- A developing dye to reveal the biofilm on your teeth
- AIRFLOW technology to clean surfaces gently and effectively
- The ultrasonic tools to remove any remaining hardened deposits
This approach allows us to clean more precisely and show you where improvements can be made in the home.
Why is biofilm removal so important?
Biofilm is a nearly invisible bacterial layer that forms daily on your teeth. If it is not removed, it can lead to:
- Cavities and bad breath
- Gingivitis and bleeding gums
- Periodontitis (gingival recession and bone loss)
- Tooth loss or implant failure
- Increased risk of systemic health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease
GBT helps protect both your oral health and your overall well-being.
Can you benefit from GBT?
The GBT is suitable for almost everyone and can be customized to your needs. It can be ideal if you:
- Do you have sensitive gums or dislike using scraping tools?
- Do you wear braces, retainers, or have implants, crowns, or bridges?
- Opt for a more comfortable and visual approach to cleaning
- Do you want to maintain healthy gums and prevent disease?
The GBT is even gentle enough for children and the elderly, making it ideal for anyone concerned about preventative care.
The eight steps of the GBT protocol
Your appointment will follow a structured, step-by-step process to prioritize a thorough and consistent cleaning every time. Here is the process our team will follow:
- Evaluate your teeth and gums;
- Apply a developing agent to reveal the biofilm;
- To educate and guide you on improvements to home care;
- Eliminate biofilm and stains thanks to AIRFLOW technology;
- Clean below the gum line with PERIOFLOW;
- Gently remove any remaining deposits using PIEZON;
- Check your results and finalize your diagnosis;
- Plan your next visit to keep your smile on track.
