Protecting Your Investment: Why GBT is Essential for Braces, Implants, and Veneers

Dental work like braces, implants, crowns, and veneers are significant investments in your smile and health. But keeping them clean presents a unique challenge.

Biofilm buildup surrounding the implant bar

Biofilm (the sticky layer of bacteria) loves to hide around the brackets of braces, at the base of dental implants, and along the margins of crowns and veneers. If not removed, this can lead to inflammation, gum disease, or cavities, putting your beautiful dental work at risk.

Traditional cleaning tools, like metal scrapers and gritty polishing pastes, can struggle to reach these areas effectively. Worse, they can sometimes be too harsh, potentially scratching the surface of implants or the fine porcelain of veneers.

This is where Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) becomes a non-negotiable part of your dental care.

Why GBT is the Gold Standard for Dental Work:

1.     It's Guided: GBT starts by using a harmless dye to stain the invisible biofilm. This allows your dentist to see exactly where the bacteria is hiding—especially around your complex dental work. There’s no guesswork.

2.     Gentle on All Surfaces: The AIRFLOW^®, PEIORFLOW^® & PIEZON^® technology at the heart of GBT is gentle enough to be used safely on any dental restoration. The AIRLFOW^® PLUS Powder won't scratch or damage the surface of your implants, crowns, or veneers, preserving their finish and longevity.

3.     Total Biofilm Removal: The warm-water spray can get into every tiny crevice—around orthodontic brackets, under the edge of an implant crown, and along the veneer margin—gently and effectively removing 100% of the biofilm. This is nearly impossible to do with traditional tools.

4.     Prevents Problems: By completely removing the biofilm, GBT prevents the inflammation (peri-implantitis) that can cause dental implants to fail. For braces, it keeps your gums and enamel healthy throughout your treatment, ensuring a perfect smile when they come off.

You invested in your smile. GBT is the best way to protect that investment. If you have braces, implants, or veneers, don't settle for a standard cleaning. Ask us how GBT can provide the safe, gentle, and complete care your smile deserves.
