GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY
AT ROOTED DENTAL
A healthy, bright smile is more than just cosmetic—it’s a sign of overall oral wellness. Even with diligent brushing and flossing, harmful plaque and biofilm can build up, potentially leading to cavities, gum disease, and other health concerns. Traditional cleanings can sometimes miss these problem areas and may feel uncomfortable. That’s where Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) comes in—a gentle, precise, and highly effective approach to professional dental cleaning.
Originally developed in Switzerland and used widely in Europe, GBT is now available at Rooted Dental. Our team has received advanced training to provide a cleaning that’s thorough, comfortable, and supportive of both your oral and overall health. This innovative therapy targets the bacteria that brushing and flossing can’t fully remove, helping your mouth stay healthy and balanced.
WHY CHOOSE GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY?
✔ Comfortable and virtually painless
✔ No scraping or trauma to your teeth and gums
✔ Removes harmful bacteria effectively
✔ Reduces risk of cavities, gum disease, and inflammation
✔ Supports your overall health
✔ Quick, lasting results
HOW GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY WORKS
GBT follows a detailed, patient-focused protocol:
-
Your hygienist evaluates your teeth and gums to create a personalized cleaning plan.
-
A special liquid highlights plaque and biofilm so even hidden buildup is visible.
-
Gentle streams of warm water, air, and erythritol powder remove stains and bacteria.
-
Deeper cleaning below the gumline is performed when needed.
-
Any remaining tartar is carefully removed with ultrasonic tools.
-
Your hygienist reviews your mouth and gives tips to improve your at-home care.
By addressing harmful bacteria before they cause damage, GBT helps prevent cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and even systemic health issues linked to oral biofilm. It’s more than a cleaning—it’s a step toward a healthier mouth and body.

NON SURGICAL PERIODONTICS & HYGIENE
At our practice, we believe that true dental wellness begins with a foundation of prevention. Our approach to gum health goes beyond traditional cleaning and focuses on a comprehensive, holistic strategy that empowers you to maintain a healthy mouth and body for life.
We view your oral health as a direct reflection of your overall well-being. Our process begins with understanding the root cause of gum disease, rather than just treating the symptoms. A key component of this is our in-depth dental plaque and saliva analysis. We take a small sample and examine it with you under a microscope, providing a clear window into your oral health. Based on these findings, we create a personalized preventative protocol tailored specifically to you.
This strategy is designed to be multi-layered, incorporating:
Our commitment is to help you achieve and sustain dental health balance without the need for surgery. We see surgical intervention as a last resort, and even in those cases, a robust long-term preventative plan is essential to support your healing and long-term success. With our guidance, you can commit to a proactive approach that strengthens your gums and promotes a healthier you.
