In dentistry, biofilm refers to the thin layer of bacteria that naturally forms on teeth and gums. When left untreated, biofilm can harden into plaque and tartar, leading to gum disease, bad breath, decay, and even tooth loss. At Darren G. Koch DDS, we take oral hygiene to the next level with Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), an advanced, patient-friendly cleaning system that gently removes biofilm using precision technology instead of traditional scraping.
Guided Biofilm Therapy uses a combination of air polishing, warm water, and specialized powders to locate and remove harmful bacterial buildup without discomfort. It’s an innovative, minimally invasive method that supports long-term gum health while protecting delicate tooth enamel.
Why Is Controlling Biofilm Important?
Controlling biofilm is key to maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing serious dental issues. Traditional cleanings can miss bacteria hiding below the gumline, but Guided Biofilm Therapy ensures a more complete, targeted clean. The process also helps reduce inflammation, support the longevity of dental implants, and enhance the effectiveness of whitening or restorative treatments.
This innovative care approach is a unique offering at Darren G. Koch DDS, where advanced technology meets exceptional patient comfort.
