Whether it’s a simple scale and polish or more advanced gum treatments we can help ensure that your smile are healthy and clean.

Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a new approach to dental cleaning here at Harrogate Dental & Implant Clinic. Our hygienists use a modern 8 step protocol to provide a comfortable, pain-free, and effective way to achieve and maintain a healthy smile.
Dental disease occurs when plaque bacteria, also known as dental biofilm, is left to mature on teeth. It likes to breed in dark, warm, moist areas like those found under the gums and between the teeth. It is imperative that dental biofilm is regularly disrupted from these difficult-to-reach areas to prevent it from attacking the teeth and initiating the inflammatory process that causes gum disease.

How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) uses a vegetable-based dye to highlight biofilm, making it visible for thorough removal. Unlike traditional cleanings, GBT is gentle, using warm water Airflow®, soft anti-microbial powder, and painless ultrasonics to remove biofilm, calculus, and stains. The procedure is non-invasive, quiet, and ideal for those with sensitive teeth, gum recession, or dental phobia.
