Guided Biofilm Therapy. Gentle by design.
What it is
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern, minimally abrasive approach to hygiene that makes plaque visible before removing it.
Warm water, fine powder and precise airflow replace much of the scraping associated with traditional cleaning.
The journey
How it works
01
Consultation
Assessment of gum health, with anything that needs attention explained clearly.
02
Planning
Plaque is made visible so cleaning is guided rather than guessed.
03
Treatment
Airflow and warm water remove biofilm and staining comfortably.
04
Review
Home care advice and a recall interval that suits your mouth, not a default.

Every three to six months depending on gum health, habits and any ongoing cosmetic work.
