Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): The Future of Dental Cleanings at Tuscarora Dental

August 13, 2025

At Tuscarora Dental, we’re thrilled to introduce Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—your new favorite dental cleaning experience! This cutting-edge, science-backed method transforms routine cleanings into a gentle, more effective process. No more uncomfortable scraping or abrasion—instead, we use modern technology to precisely remove plaque and stubborn biofilm while caring for your gums and enamel.

What Makes GBT So Special:

  • Gentler and More Comfortable
    GBT replaces harsh scraping with a soothing combination of warm water, air, and fine erythritol powder—so your cleaning feels more like a spa experience than a dental chore! 
  • Visible, Targeted Cleaning
    We start with a harmless biofilm-disclosing dye that highlights areas needing attention. This invisible bacterial layer becomes visible, ensuring no spot is missed—and empowering you to better care for your smile at home.
  • Advanced Precision Tools
    The GBT system follows a refined protocol:
    1. Gently blasts away biofilm, stains, and early tartar.
    2. Reaches deep gum pockets safely.
    3. Ultrasonic scaler removes hardened deposits painlessly.
    4. Final checks and a tailored recall schedule ensure ongoing oral health. 

More Effective, Healthier Cleanings
GBT doesn’t just clean better—it combats the root of dental problems by targeting biofilm, the underlying cause of gum disease, cavities, and even systemic health concerns. It’s precision, preventive care that’s ahead of the game.
