Dental Hygiene Therapy
With GBT
One of the ways Alora Dental approaches dental hygiene care is through Guided Biofilm Therapy. Instead of relying only on traditional scraping and polishing, GBT uses a structured 8-step protocol designed to identify, remove, and help prevent bacterial biofilm, stains, and tartar.
The process combines careful assessment, biofilm disclosure, AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technology to provide precise, minimally invasive cleaning while supporting better gum health and a more comfortable experience.
The 8
Steps Of Guided Biofilm Therapy
Guided Biofilm Therapy follows a structured 8-step process designed to identify and remove biofilm, stains, and tartar while helping patients better understand and maintain their oral health.
- Assessment And Infection Control: We review your oral health and have you rinse with an antibacterial solution to help reduce germs.
- Disclosure: A harmless dye is applied to highlight hidden plaque (biofilm), making it easier to clean precisely where needed.
- Motivation: We show you where biofilm builds up and provide personalized guidance to improve brushing and flossing at home.
- AIRFLOW® Cleaning: A gentle mix of air, water, and fine erythritol powder removes biofilm, stains, and soft deposits comfortably.
- PERIOFLOW®: A specialized nozzle cleans below the gumline and around implants in areas that brushing and flossing cannot reach.
- PIEZON® (No Pain): Ultrasonic technology removes remaining hard tartar (calculus) with precision and a more comfortable feel.
- Check: We complete a final check to confirm biofilm and calculus have been thoroughly removed.
- Recall: We create a personalized plan for future cleanings based on your oral health needs and risk factors.

Guided Biofilm Therapy is designed to identify and remove biofilm thoroughly, including areas that may be more difficult to reach during daily brushing and flossing.
By combining professional cleaning with personalized home-care guidance and an appropriate recall schedule, GBT can support healthier gums and better long-term oral hygiene.
FAQS

It combines biofilm disclosure with technologies such as AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® to provide precise cleaning while supporting gum health and a more comfortable hygiene experience.
How Is GBT Different From A Traditional Dental Cleaning?
GBT uses a harmless disclosing dye to make bacterial biofilm visible before cleaning begins. This helps our team identify areas that need attention and use specialized technology to remove biofilm, stains, and tartar more precisely instead of relying only on traditional scraping and polishing.
What Is AIRFLOW®?
AIRFLOW® is part of the Guided Biofilm Therapy process and uses a controlled combination of air, water, and fine erythritol powder. It is designed to gently remove bacterial biofilm, stains, and soft deposits from the teeth while supporting a more comfortable professional cleaning experience.
