Preventing gum disease is an essential part of maintaining healthy teeth, for life.
Our hygienist team are extremely skilled at providing the treatment and preventive advice that will help your gums be a safe home for your teeth.
Dental Hygiene
Good dental hygiene is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and a healthy mouth. Dental hygiene concerns the wellbeing of your gums and preventing problems like cavities and enamel erosion. Here in Bespoke Dental Fulham our experienced hygienists will provide you with guidance on everything from brushing and flossing habits to dietary advice and information on the importance of regular professional cleaning sessions to remove plaque from the gum line. We will use the latest technology to gently remove the biofilm that builds up on your teeth, which would otherwise cause the onset of gum disease.
Fresh Breath Treatment
The feelings of self-consciousness that can occur because of bad breath can be really difficult to live with. During your appointment, we can get to the bottom of the problems affecting your breath, and address this with treatment, or by recommending a change in your diet and lifestyle.
What is GBT?
GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy), is a highly predictable and systematic method to manage the plaque and tartar build up in your mouth. It incorporates Airflow®, Perioflow® and Piezon® technologies, and is backed up by solid scientific evidence.
The treatment method is non-invasive: it has been engineered to deliver the highest level of comfort, safety, and efficiency. It is underpinned by Swiss innovation, known around the world for its quality and exceptional results.
Why Is GBT So Special?
GBT adheres to the European Federation of Periodontology recommendations on Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal and Oral Hygiene Instructions. It is the foundation for preventing gum disease and peri-implantitis and treating and managing these conditions. In turn, treatment can stop wider health problems relating to gum disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems and erectile dysfunction. It is also the only predictable solution for implant maintenance, playing an indispensable role in the pre-treatment and post-operative life-long maintenance of implants.
We can use the GBT method on all restorations like braces, crowns, bridges, veneers and implants, without any damage to these, and achieving a thorough clean.
The process minimises the use of power and hand instruments, making it gentle for all parts of your mouth, including the soft tissues.
The GBT Process
- Assess: Each appointment begins with a full assessment of your gum health and teeth, as well as an oral cancer screening.
- Disclose: A special dye is used to highlight problematic areas, which informs our cleaning of your teeth.
- Motivate: We will provide a tailored treatment plan to maximise your at-home care.
- Airflow: A combination of water, compressed air and fine powder particles help to remove stains in the deepest corners of your mouth. Even the most stubborn areas of plaque are targeted.
- Piezon: We will gently remove deposits from each individual tooth.
- Periflow: This is the same as the Airflow method, but uses a specially-designed nozzle, which cleans deeper within the pockets.
- Check: We will perform one last check to ensure your mouth is clean. A protective varnish is then added to your teeth.
- Recall: We will book your next appointment, based on your needs.
