What’s Included in the Cost of Guided Biofilm Therapy? A Breakdown for Patients

1. Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

GBT begins with more than just a quick look, it starts with a deep dive into your oral health:

• A full-mouth examination of your teeth, gums, and previous dental work
  
• Discussion of your medical history and risk factors for gum disease or decay
  
• Use of advanced plaque-disclosing agents to highlight areas of concern
  
  

This step ensures your treatment is precise, personalized, and proactive—reducing the risk of overlooked issues and unnecessary future costs.

2. Advanced, Comfortable Cleaning Technology

The heart of GBT is its modern, minimally invasive cleaning process:

• Application of a harmless dye that makes invisible plaque and bacteria visible
  
• Gentle air-polishing using a specialized EMS device with warm water and powder
  
• Thorough removal of biofilm, plaque, and early tartar without sharp scraping
  
• Subgingival (below the gumline) cleaning for more complete gum protection
  
  

What you’re paying for: a more comfortable, thorough cleaning that’s safer for enamel and soft tissues—ideal for patients with sensitivity, implants, orthodontics, or gum issues.

3. Tailored Oral Hygiene Education

GBT isn't just about cleaning—it’s about helping you maintain results between visits:

• Personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and product recommendations
  
• Education on how to prevent gum disease and reduce biofilm at home
  
• A baseline to track progress at future appointments
  
  

This ongoing support helps you get more value from your cleaning—and fewer future dental issues.

4. Follow-Up Monitoring and Care

Your investment in GBT includes care beyond the treatment chair:

• Periodic re-evaluations of gum health and plaque levels
  
• Adjustments to your oral hygiene routine as needed
  
• Coordination of care for patients with higher risk factors (e.g., diabetes, braces, implants)
  
  

By staying ahead of problems, GBT reduces the need for more costly procedures down the line.

The Cost And Why It’s Worth It

GBT is typically more expensive than a traditional cleaning, but with good reason. You're not just getting a polish and a pat on the back—you're receiving:

• A fully customized, diagnostic-based treatment
  State-of-the-art technology for more effective and comfortable care
• Ongoing support to protect your investment in oral health

For patients prone to gum disease, cavities, or inflammation, GBT can significantly reduce the need for future deep cleanings or periodontal therapy.
