Welcome to Holistic Dental Associates, where your oral health meets innovative care under the expert guidance of Dr. Teresa Scott, DDS. We are proud to introduce Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) to our patients in Spring, TX, and surrounding Houston areas. GBT represents a leap forward in dental care, focusing on minimally invasive techniques to manage dental biofilm effectively and prevent oral diseases.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

The Science Behind GBT

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a systematic, state-of-the-art approach used in professional dental prophylaxis. Utilizing advanced technologies like AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON®, GBT is designed to remove biofilm gently and efficiently. This method is supported by robust scientific evidence and is tailored to minimize discomfort while maximizing effectiveness.

Benefits of GBT

GBT is crucial not only for oral health but also for its positive impacts on overall well-being. It effectively controls the biofilm that is responsible for most dental problems, such as caries and periodontal diseases, and has been linked to systemic conditions like cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Our Commitment to Minimally Invasive Dentistry

At Holistic Dental Associates, we prioritize your comfort and health. Our GBT services are provided in a way that reduces the need for invasive instruments, making your dental care experience as comfortable as possible.

Leading Dental Care in Spring, TX

Dr. Teresa Scott brings years of experience and a commitment to excellence in dental care. Our practice is equipped with the latest dental technologies to ensure that you receive the best care possible.

Step-by-Step GBT Approach

1. Microscope slide:  We take the plaque from your mouth and put it on a slide to see the bacterial population of your mouth under our microscope.  This allows us to determine the extent of the GBT treatment you will need, as well as determine if you need salivary testing, laser, ozone or other periodontal treatments.
2. Assessment and Infection Control: We start by thoroughly assessing your oral health status using Oxone  mouthwash and evaluating all tissues and implants.
3. Disclose: By making biofilm visible, we can target and remove it more effectively.
4. Motivate: We educate you about the importance of oral hygiene and how to maintain it at home.
5. AIRFLOW® MAX: Using this advanced technology, we remove biofilm and stains without discomfort.
6. PERIOFLOW®: For deeper pockets, we utilize specialized nozzles to ensure thorough cleaning.
7. PIEZON® PS: Any remaining calculus is gently removed to protect your gums and teeth.
8. Check: Our final check ensures that all problematic areas are addressed, leaving your mouth fresh and clean.
9. Recall: We schedule follow-up visits based on your specific needs to maintain your oral health over time.

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their unique dental profile and risk assessments, ensuring the best outcomes.
