Restoring Your Gum Health for a Stronger, Healthier Smile.

Overview

Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, beautiful smile. Gum therapy, also known as periodontal treatment, focuses on preventing, managing, and treating gum disease to protect your oral and overall health. Left untreated, gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) can lead to tooth loss, bad breath, and even systemic health problems like heart disease and diabetes.

Signs You May Need Gum Therapy

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums – Early signs of gum disease that require professional attention.
Persistent bad breath (halitosis) – Often caused by bacterial buildup beneath the gumline.
Receding gums – Gums pulling away from teeth, exposing sensitive roots.
Loose or shifting teeth – A sign of advanced periodontitis that requires urgent treatment.
Gum tenderness or pain – Discomfort when eating or brushing may indicate an underlying issue.

The Guided Biofilm Therapy - GBT

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced, minimally invasive dental cleaning technology designed to effectively remove biofilm, plaque, and stains from teeth, gums, and dental restorations. Unlike traditional scaling methods that rely on scraping, GBT uses AIRFLOW® technology with a gentle yet powerful stream of water, air, and fine powder to target harmful bacteria. This innovative approach is pain-free, highly precise, and safer for delicate oral structures such as implants, veneers, and orthodontic appliances.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for preventing cavities, gum disease and peri-implant infections. Biofilm—a sticky layer of bacteria that accumulates on teeth and gums—can lead to serious oral health issues if not removed regularly. GBT makes biofilm visible before treatment, allowing for a more targeted and effective cleaning while providing valuable insights into a patient’s oral hygiene habits.

By offering a more comfortable, efficient, and preventive approach to professional cleanings, GBT sets a new standard for dental care. It not only enhances oral health but also improves the patient experience by reducing discomfort and chair time

Pain-Free, Gentle & Comfortable

GBT uses advanced technology to remove biofilm and plaque without scraping or discomfort. It is minimally invasive, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety.

More Effective & Precise Cleaning

By making biofilm visible before treatment, GBT ensures a targeted and thorough cleaning. It removes plaque, stains, and early calculus more efficiently than traditional methods.

Safe for Teeth, Gums & Restorations

GBT is non-abrasive, making it safe for natural teeth, implants, crowns, veneers, braces, and sensitive gums. It cleans deep into gum pockets without causing irritation or damage.

Prevents Gum Disease & Tooth Decay

With its ability to clean deep periodontal pockets (up to 9 mm), GBT helps prevent and treat gum disease, gingivitis, and peri-implant infections while also reducing the risk of cavities.

Eliminates the Need for Polishing

The high-precision the GBT system removes biofilm faster than traditional methods, reducing chair time while providing a more thorough cleaning. It also eliminates the need for abrasive polishing, leaving teeth smooth and naturally clean.

Long-Lasting Freshness & Care

GBT removes bacteria from teeth, gums, and the tongue, providing a fresher, cleaner feeling that lasts longer. It also includes a personalized oral hygiene assessment and a customized recall schedule to maintain long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have questions about our services. Here are answers to some of the most common ones:

What is gum disease, and how does it develop?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, occurs when plaque buildup leads to gum inflammation. It starts as gingivitis (red, swollen, or bleeding gums) and can progress to periodontitis, where gums recede, pockets form around teeth, and bone loss occurs. Without treatment, it can lead to tooth loss and other health issues.

What are the early signs of gum disease?

Common signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, gum recession, swelling, and tenderness. If left untreated, teeth may become loose, and infections can develop.

Is gum disease reversible?

Gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) is reversible with proper brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. However, advanced periodontitis cannot be fully reversed but can be managed with gum therapy and ongoing periodontal care.

What treatments are available for gum disease?

Treatment depends on severity and may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), guided biofilm therapy, laser gum treatment, antibacterial rinses, or gum grafting for receding gums.

Does gum therapy hurt?

Most gum therapy procedures, such as deep cleaning and laser treatment, are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Mild soreness may follow treatment but subsides within a few days.

How often do I need periodontal maintenance?

Patients with gum disease often need professional cleanings every 3 to 4 months to prevent the disease from progressing. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your gum health.

Can gum disease affect my overall health?

Yes! Research links gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and pregnancy complications due to the spread of bacteria and chronic inflammation in the body. Treating gum disease can support better overall health.

What happens if gum disease is left untreated?

Without treatment, gum disease can lead to severe gum recession, tooth loss, infections, bone deterioration, and even systemic health problems. Early intervention is key to preventing serious complications.

Can I prevent gum disease at home?

Yes! Daily brushing, flossing, using an antibacterial mouthwash, and attending regular dental checkups can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease. Avoid smoking and maintain a balanced diet for healthier gums.

Who is at higher risk for gum disease?

Smokers, diabetics, individuals with poor oral hygiene, pregnant women, and those with a family history of gum disease are at higher risk. Regular dental visits and preventive care are especially important for these individuals.
