The first pain-free solution offered in dental cleaning

Discover the power of Guided biofilm therapy (GBT)

The future of hygiene is here – and it’s now at Bridge Dental & Implant Clinic.

Did you know there’s a nearly invisible film of bacteria constantly forming on your teeth? It’s called biofilm – and it’s the root cause of gum disease, bad breath, and even implant complications. Because it’s colourless and sticky, it’s hard to spot – and even harder to remove without the right technology.

That’s where guided biofilm therapy comes in.

Why GBT? Bridge Dental & Implant Clinic is proud to be the first practice in Derby to offer this cutting-edge hygiene system. Our expertly trained Hygiene Therapists use advanced Swiss technology to gently and thoroughly remove biofilm – even in hard-to-reach places.

What happens if Biofilm is left untreated?

Biofilm is a primary factor in causing tooth decay and gum disease. How does this happen? When the biofilm comes into contact with sugary foods and drinks, the bacteria start to break down the enamel, which eventually leads to decay in the tooth.

The affected teeth would then need to be treated, whether that’s a filling or further treatment. And it doesn’t stop there. The thicker biofilm will also begin to irritate the gums, and this can trigger the body’s natural inflammatory response. The result is sore and inflamed gums which tend to bleed whilst brushing — ouch! If left untreated, gingivitis (the early stage of gum disease) can progress into serious gum disease, called periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease also increases your risk of arthritis, diabetes, dementia, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, amongst other things, so we must look after our oral health to keep our bodies healthy too.

FAQs

How is Guided Biofilm Therapy different from a traditional scale and polish?

GBT is an innovation from Switzerland, by the company EMS. For more than 35 years EMS has developed high-end technologies and protocols in conjunction with the world’s most advanced clinicians, enabling patients to enjoy their natural teeth and implants for much longer.

So yes, GBT is brimming with revolutionary technology, but what are the differences that you as a patient will notice? We decided to ask our patients what they dislike about a normal scale and polish, allowing us to compare it to GBT!
