At McMillan Family Dental, we’re committed to providing our patients with the most advanced dental care available. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a revolutionary new approach to dental cleanings. Not only is GBT more effective at removing harmful bacteria (biofilm), but it also provides a more comfortable experience for patients.
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Traditional cleanings often involve scraping to remove plaque and tartar, which can be uncomfortable for many patients. With Guided Biofilm Therapy, we take a different approach. GBT uses advanced air polishing technology, which combines air, water, and fine powder to gently but thoroughly remove harmful bacteria (biofilm) and plaque from your teeth. This technique is not only more comfortable but also more effective at targeting areas that traditional tools might miss.
Key Benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy provides many benefits over traditional dental cleanings:
How Does Guided Biofilm Therapy Work?
The GBT process begins with a special dye that highlights areas of biofilm on your teeth, allowing our team to focus on the spots that need the most attention. We then use the Vakker Woodpecker air polisher to gently remove biofilm and plaque, even in hard-to-reach areas.
This approach ensures a deep clean for your teeth and gums, with less discomfort than traditional methods.
Spotting Gum Disease Early with the Leica Microscope
At McMillan Family Dental, we believe advanced technology leads to better care. That’s why we’ve invested in the Leica microscope, a tool rarely found in dental offices. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to detect gum disease early, treat it with precision, and protect both your oral and overall health.
How This Benefits You:
By integrating tools like the Leica microscope into our practice, we’re delivering the high-quality care you deserve.
