How is GBT different to a normal scale & polish?

A regular dental cleaning focuses on scraping away hard tartar and surface stains. But it often misses the main problem - the slippery biofilm that hides under gums and between teeth. This bacteria causes inflammation, bad breath, and dental disease.
GBT is designed for complete care. First, GBT Airflow gently loosens biofilm from around the gumline using a warm water air spray. Then, GBT Piezon uses mini vibrating tips to safely wash away tartar and stains.Unlike regular cleanings, GBT doesn't require harsh scraping that can damage teeth. Our advanced yet caring techniques thoroughly clean your whole mouth - teeth, gums, and deep crevices - while being gentle on you.
Patients say GBT is much more comfortable than old methods. We use the latest technology and care to get the best results while putting you at ease.
That's the GBT difference.

When can I eat/drink after GBT?

Avoid eating or drinking anything for about an hour after your GBT cleaning. This gives your mouth time to rebuild its natural saliva coating over your teeth.
Saliva proteins usually cover the tooth surface to protect it. When we remove biofilm and plaque during GBT, that saliva layer also comes off. It takes 20-60 minutes for new saliva to fully coat teeth again. During this time, teeth are more vulnerable to stains from foods and drinks.
So take a little time after your cleaning before having that coffee, tea, red wine, or dark berries. This simple step will help preserve your beautiful clean results!
After an hour or so, you can enjoy eating and drinking again. Just be sure to brush and floss thoroughly at the end of the day.

What is the purpose of the purple dye?

The dye helps reveal the nearly invisible film of bacteria, called biofilm, that grows on teeth. Biofilm buildup leads to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. But it's tricky to see with the naked eye.
The disclosing solution contains a harmless vegetable-based dye that sticks to oral biofilm, turning it a bright color. This lets you and your hygienist see exactly where plaque is hiding.
Seeing the colored biofilm helps your hygienist measure how much there is and where it's accumulating. Older, thicker biofilm will appear a different shade. This shows if certain areas are being missed when you brush at home.
After disclosing the plaque, your hygienist can then target the colored spots with the GBT Airflow spray. They'll erase the biofilm until no more is left.So the purple dye simply helps unveil the sneaky oral bacteria so it can be fully removed! It allows more precise, thorough cleaning tailored to your unique oral health needs.

How long will it last?

How long your mouth stays healthy and stain-free depends on how well you care for your teeth at home between visits. If you fully adopt the recommended brushing, flossing, and other oral hygiene techniques, GBT results can last 3-6 months.
Controlling bacteria film through daily home care keeps your mouth clean longer. If oral hygiene habits slip, plaque and stains will come back more quickly. But because GBT deeply cleans enamel, stains take longer to visibly reappear.
Most patients come back for another GBT cleaning every 3-6 months. This renews your oral health, keeping teeth looking their best. Consistently practicing good home care and regular GBT cleanings is the formula for a healthy, beautiful smile!

What is in the airflow powder and is it safe?

Airflow is a combination of a jet of air, warm water, and an erythritol-based powder with chlorhexidine preservative. Erythritol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol that helps to fight bacteria and prevent cavities. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant that is commonly used in hospitals and clinics since the 1950s.Pleasant tasting Erythritol powder gently lifts the deposits from the teeth during the airflow process, leaving the mouth clean, fresh, and biofilm free.
