What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced and modern, evidence-based step-by-step professional dental cleaning protocol that uses Airflow technology. It is designed to remove bacterial biofilm (plaque) and stains with warm water, air and powder. It is non-invasive, highly effective with minimal discomfort. An alternative to traditional “scale and polish”, offering better results for a healthier mouth (teeth, gums, braces, implants and all restoration in general).
GBT is suitable for most patients of almost all ages, including those with gum disease, dental implants, orthodontic appliances, or a history of sensitivity. It is also ideal for patients who want a more comfortable and modern approach to dental hygiene care.

Dental biofilm is also known as dental plaque. It is a soft, sticky layer of bacteria that forms in your mouth every day. It is a colourless or pale yellow biofilm and forms on teeth, along the gum line, tongue, around dental implants, restorations, and orthodontic appliances such as braces or retainers.
If dental biofilm is not removed regularly, harmful bacteria will multiply and cause damage to the teeth and gums. Over time, this can lead to bleeding gums, which is a primary factor for gum disease. It also causes bad breath, tooth decay, and bone loss around teeth, leading to instability or ultimately failure of dental implants. Regular, effective removal of biofilm, both at home and through professional GBT sessions, is essential for preventing dental diseases.

Your dentist will work with you to create a personalised check-up schedule that best supports your long-term oral health.
