✦ GBT HYGIENE · LANARK

A clean you can feel. Without the scrape.

WHAT IS GBT?

Guided Biofilm Therapy, in plain English.

Plaque starts as an invisible film of bacteria — biofilm. GBT makes it visible first, using a harmless disclosing dye, so nothing is missed and nothing healthy is touched.

Then our airflow system clears it away with a precisely controlled jet of warm water and fine powder — reaching between teeth, around implants and under braces. Hardened deposits are removed with gentle ultrasonic, not hand-scraping.

The result is a deeper, more thorough clean that most patients describe as genuinely comfortable — even those who’ve always found the hygienist a struggle.

Not your old scale & polish.

THE GBT PROTOCOL

Five gentle steps to a deeper clean.

1

Assess

A full check of your gums, teeth and any dental work — so the clean is tailored to you.

2

Disclose

A harmless dye makes the invisible biofilm visible, so nothing is missed.

3

Airflow

Warm water and fine powder lift plaque and stain — gently, with no scraping.

4

Polish-free finish

Any hardened deposits cleared with gentle ultrasonic. No gritty paste needed.

5

Recall

A simple plan to keep it that way, at the interval that’s right for your mouth.

WHO GBT IS BRILLIANT FOR

Especially kind to…

Sensitive teeth

If the cold scratch of a traditional clean makes you wince, the warm airflow approach is a different experience entirely.

Implants & crowns

GBT cleans safely around implants, crowns and bridges without scratching the surfaces, helping your investment last.

Braces & aligners

The fine airflow reaches around brackets and tight spaces that brushes and scalers struggle with.

Coffee, tea & wine stains

Surface staining from everyday favourites lifts away, leaving teeth visibly brighter — without harsh bleaching.

Nervous patients

No scraping, no sharp instruments against the tooth. The most common feedback we hear is simply: "that was easy."

Gum health

Thoroughly removing biofilm is the single best thing you can do for healthy gums — and to keep your teeth for life.

For the vast majority of people, no. There's no metal scraping against the tooth and no cold scratch — just warm water and a fine powder. Patients who've dreaded the hygienist for years are usually surprised by how comfortable it is.
Because GBT avoids aggressive scraping and uses warm water, most people have little to no sensitivity afterwards — a common complaint after a traditional scale and polish. If you already have sensitive teeth, this is one of the biggest reasons to switch.
Yes — it's actually gentler on dental work than metal instruments. The airflow cleans around implants, crowns, bridges and veneers without scratching the surfaces, which helps protect your investment over the long term.
Most people do well with a visit every six months, but it depends on your gum health, habits and history. We'll assess your mouth and recommend a recall interval that's genuinely right for you — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Yes — surface staining from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking lifts away during the airflow stage, leaving teeth noticeably brighter. It isn't a whitening treatment, but many people are delighted with how much fresher their smile looks.
No — hygiene visits are open to everyone, whether or not you're registered with us for general dentistry. Many people come to us purely for the GBT experience.
