Dental Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)
If you’re looking for a gentler, more comfortable dental cleaning method, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) may be a suitable option. This approach focuses on dental biofilm removal, helping to manage plaque and bacteria on both the surface of the teeth and along the gum line.
It’s often selected by patients seeking plaque removal in Singapore, especially those with sensitive teeth, braces, or dental implants. GBT follows a structured process that supports thorough cleaning while keeping discomfort to a minimum.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy
GBT is a dental cleaning procedure in Singapore designed for deep cleaning teeth using AIRFLOW® technology. The process begins with the application of a dye that highlights biofilm on the teeth. This allows your dentist to see and target the problem areas accurately.
A gentle stream of air, water, and fine powder is then used to remove biofilm and early plaque build-up. Unlike traditional scaling, this method avoids scraping and can be particularly helpful for patients who find standard cleanings uncomfortable.
Benefits of Biofilm Removal
Choosing GBT supports a gentler approach to maintaining oral hygiene. The benefits of this biofilm dental procedure include:
Plaque removal in Singapore that avoids scraping or vibration
May be more comfortable for patients with implants, crowns, or braces
Helps manage surface stains without damaging enamel
A suitable option for those with gum sensitivity or early-stage gum concerns
A professional clean that complements your daily brushing and flossing routine

FAQs About Biofilm Dental
Everything you want to know about scaling and polishing.
Is Guided Biofilm Therapy suitable for sensitive teeth?
Yes, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is often recommended for patients with sensitive teeth or gums. The procedure uses a gentler cleaning approach compared to traditional scaling, which may reduce discomfort during treatment.
How is this different from regular scaling and polishing?
While both treatments help remove plaque and support gum health, GBT uses air, water, and a fine powder to clean teeth and gum areas. This method helps remove biofilm dental build-up without scraping, and may feel more comfortable for patients who prefer a gentler experience.
Can I do teeth whitening together with biofilm removal?
Yes. You may consider scheduling teeth whitening after your GBT session. Removing plaque and stains beforehand can help ensure more even results during your whitening treatment. Speak to your dentist about combining both procedures in a single visit.
How often should I go for this treatment?
The recommended frequency for GBT depends on your oral health needs. For most patients, scheduling a session every 6 months is common. However, if you have gum conditions, wear braces, or are undergoing other treatments, your dentist may suggest a shorter interval.
