Specialized Gum Care
What is GBT?
GBT or Guided Biofilm Therapy is the latest, greatest, and most advanced treatment in hygiene therapy. Unlike traditional hygiene services, Guided Biofilm Therapy helps identify not only where the bacterial biofilm (a.k.a. plaque) is in your mouth, but also identifies what types of bacteria are present to help determine your risk for gum disease, decay or other oral conditions. Compared to traditional hygiene cleanings, this pain-free cutting-edge dental technology can help reduce the risk of cavities, gingivitis, periodontal disease, gut irritation and so much more.
Before GBT
After GBT
There are over 58 known medical conditions that correlate back to our mouths, including cardiovascular health, diabetes, alzheimer’s, preterm birth, gut health, autoimmune disorders, respiratory and gut health to name a few. Unlike other practices our team is dedicated to finding the most effective at home and in office care protocols for addressing inflammation and diseased tissues for each patient to address these concerns. The health of your mouth impacts your total body health. This is why we take innovative dental hygiene so seriously at Montrose Dental Wellness and work hard to provide pain-free solutions for all our patients and their individual needs.
Why GBT?
No more pain, no more polish, no more plaque! Using a proprietary, pain-free technology, GBT reduces the risk of cavities, gingivitis, periodontal and systemic disease. GBT removes bacterial biofilm from hard-to-reach critical places that at home brushing and flossing simply cannot reach. Bacterial biofilm is incredibly pathogenic and is the root cause of disease in the mouth and body and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
With the use of GBT disclosing agents (turns your plaque and biofilm colors) we are able to visualize this film and then effectively remove all biofilm while providing a visual for us to educate our patients. This superior, scientific approach allows us to effectively manage the bacteria in your mouth, leaving your teeth feeling cleaner than they ever have before.
