What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) AND AIRFLOW?
How Guided Biofilm Therapy refreshes your smile
A deep clean with Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) can restore your natural smile with teeth that look and feel good.
GBT is an advanced hygiene protocol that uses disclosing dye and Airflow® technology - a deep cleaning treatment that immediately leaves your mouth fresh and your teeth bright.
Even with daily brushing and oral care, over time teeth can become stained from tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco as well as coloured food.
Periodic GBT appointments (including Airflow® polishing) are a great way to remove persistent stains, light tartar and plaque build-up from your teeth. GBT deep cleaning can also improve your oral hygiene and leave you with fresher breath.

What happens during GBT with Airflow® cleaning?
Experience a deep clean with Guided Biofilm Therapy
Your dentist or hygienist will make sure you are comfortable in our relaxing patient chairs. A GBT treatment includes applying a disclosing dye to highlight areas of plaque, followed by a fine jet of air, water and powder (Airflow®) that is directed towards your teeth at high pressure.
Airflow® can be safely used on implants, bridges, veneers and crowns.
The lightly abrasive action of an Airflow® cleaning treatment can remove surface staining and effectively clean the front and back surfaces as well as between teeth. You can expect immediately cleaner, lighter teeth and a brighter smile.
Does the cleaning treatment hurt?
A gentle, effective tooth cleaning experience in Kettering
Patients with sensitive teeth can sometimes experience temporary, mild discomfort. However, as GBT is a non-contact cleaning procedure, most patients feel no more than a slight tingling sensation.
