At Castle Dental, our hygienists offer advanced treatment options, drawing on their training from the Swiss dental academy and skills attained in guided biofilm therapy (GBT).

This innovative, minimally invasive method ensures your professional cleaning is safe, efficient, and tailored to your individual needs, helping you maintain excellent oral health with the highest level of comfort.

Dental biofilm is the primary cause of tooth decay, gum disease, and infections around implants. If left untreated, it can contribute to broader health issues such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, arthritis, and diabetes. That’s why effective biofilm control is essential for both your oral and overall well-being.

How Airflow® works

Our Airflow® System uses a precise spray combining water with a special erythritol powder that’s incredibly fine (just 14 microns in size). This gentle yet powerful spray removes stains, biofilm, and early calculus from every surface in your mouth, including natural teeth, implants, restorations, orthodontic appliances, and even soft tissues. Because the powder is minimally abrasive and has a naturally sweet taste, the treatment is gentle and pleasant for every patient, including those with sensitive mouths.

GBT Protocol

The GBT Protocol: A personalised cleaning journey.

Guided biofilm therapy is a step-by-step approach to ensure thorough biofilm removal and promote long-term health:
1. Assessment: A thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and implants identifies areas that require attention.
2. Biofilm disclosure: A harmless dye highlights where biofilm has accumulated, guiding precise cleaning.
3. Education: We provide practical advice on home care to empower you in preventing future build-up.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect — Your questions answered

What is Guided biofilm therapy (GBT)?

GBT is a modern, personalised approach to professional dental cleaning that focuses on gently and effectively removing dental biofilm—the leading cause of tooth decay and gum disease. It utilises specialised tools, such as Airflow® and Perioflow, combined with an 8-step treatment plan tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Is the Airflow® treatment painful?

No. Airflow® is designed to provide a gentle and comfortable experience. Unlike traditional scraping methods, it uses a soft powder spray that cleans thoroughly without irritation or discomfort.

Can guided biofilm therapy treat gum disease?

GBT helps control and manage gum disease by effectively removing the biofilm that causes inflammation. While it can halt the progression of early gum disease, more advanced stages may require additional periodontal treatment. Early intervention and regular care are key to preventing serious damage.

Is guided biofilm therapy suitable for patients with implants or braces?

Yes, GBT and Airflow® are ideal for patients with dental implants, braces, or restorations. The treatment is gentle yet effective at cleaning all surfaces without causing damage.
