GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY (GBT)

A Spa-Like, Pain Free Approach to Dental Hygiene

At 78MPR, we offer a fresh and modern approach to dental hygiene in Tunbridge Wells, designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy while providing a relaxing, spa-like experience. Our specialist team is proud to provide Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) – the most advanced method of cleaning available in Kent.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is an innovative, gentle alternative to traditional scaling and polishing. Instead of relying solely on scraping, it uses advanced ultrasound technology combined with warm water and air-polishing powders to remove harmful plaque and biofilm from your teeth and gums. This approach makes your hygiene treatment more comfortable, more effective, and far less invasive.

By choosing Guided Biofilm Therapy in Tunbridge Wells, you’re protecting yourself against common dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, while also improving the overall look and feel of your smile.

Comfort, Technology, and Results

Our highly experienced dental hygienists use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure every dental hygiene appointment in Tunbridge Wells is carried out with maximum comfort and efficiency. GBT allows for a precise clean that’s safe for teeth, gentle on gums, and ideal for patients who experience sensitivity or anxiety during treatment.

With our unique 8-step GBT protocol, your hygienist will guide you through the process using a special dye to highlight areas of plaque. This makes the treatment easy to understand and ensures nothing is missed. Patients often notice visible results and a fresher, smoother smile after just one session.

A Spa-Like Experience in Kent

Dental hygiene doesn’t have to feel clinical. At our Tunbridge Wells practice, we go the extra mile to make the experience relaxing and tailored to you. You can even select your own water temperature – with five settings ranging from unheated to 40°C – making it especially comfortable for children and those with sensitive teeth.

Our Approach

GBT, A True Wellness Experience

CLEAN TEETH, HEALTHY LIFE  

At 78MPR in Tunbridge Wells, we believe that good oral health is the foundation of overall wellbeing. That’s why our approach to dental hygiene and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) goes beyond just keeping your smile clean – it’s about protecting your whole body.

The Importance of a Healthy Oral Microbiome

Your mouth is home to a delicate ecosystem known as the oral microbiome, made up of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When this balance is maintained, your teeth and gums stay healthy. But if harmful bacteria take over, it can lead to dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and persistent bad breath.

The impact doesn’t stop there. Scientific studies show a clear link between poor oral health and wider health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. This makes professional dental hygiene in Tunbridge Wells an essential step in caring for your long-term health.

How Guided Biofilm Therapy Helps

At our Tunbridge Wells practice, we use Guided Biofilm Therapy – a gentle, state-of-the-art hygiene treatment available across Kent. GBT works by carefully removing harmful biofilm and bacteria that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Using advanced technology, including air polishing and warm water cleaning, this method is highly effective yet comfortable for patients of all ages.

By regularly booking Guided Biofilm Therapy in Tunbridge Wells, you can reduce your risk of gum disease, improve the appearance of your teeth, and support your overall wellbeing. Patients often notice fresher breath, healthier gums, and a brighter smile after just one session.

1

PRESERVE HEALTHY TEETH

GBT enables you to enjoy natural teeth and implants for much longer.

2

MAINTAIN ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES

Orthodontic appliances increase biofilm growth in areas not accessible by daily brushing and traditional prophylaxis. Biofilm creates wire friction, gingivitis and caries. AIRFLOW® with PLUS Powder removes biofilm with full access to critical areas. Safe and effective on teeth and brackets, it prevents caries and hyperplasia.

3

PREVENT CARIES

Biofilm is not always visible to the naked eye. Disclosing biofilm helps to remove all biofilm. GBT prevents caries and gum disease in children and adults. No biofilm = No caries.

4

TREAT EXPOSED DENTINE

Remove exposed biofilm on dentine with Airflow & GBT. GBT is the only protocol which guarantees minimal invasiveness through direct visual control. GBT’s heated water system provides maximum comfort and minimal sensitivity.
