Enhancing Advanced Dental Care with EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy at Dental Studio

At Dental Studio, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care, combining advanced dental treatments with innovative preventative solutions. One such cutting-edge approach is EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a revolutionary method that enhances oral health and supports the long-term success of dental treatments.

What is EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy?

EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy is a gentle yet highly effective way to remove plaque, biofilm, and stains from the teeth, gums, and even dental restorations. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, GBT utilizes state-of-the-art AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies to deliver a comfortable, spa-like experience for your teeth.

How Does GBT Benefit Our Patients?

Our hygienist, Emma, is a strong advocate of EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy and has seen first hand how this treatment enhances patient care. GBT is designed to be minimally invasive, ensuring that patients receive a thorough yet gentle clean, ideal for those with sensitive teeth or advanced dental work such as implants, crowns, or orthodontics.

Key Benefits of EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy:

Gentle Yet Effective: Unlike traditional scaling, GBT removes biofilm painlessly without causing discomfort or abrasion.
Identifies Areas That Need More Care: The treatment uses a special disclosing solution that highlights areas where biofilm is present, helping patients understand which parts of their mouth may need more attention during their oral hygiene routine.
Ideal for All Patients: Whether you have natural teeth, implants, Invisalign, veneers, or braces, GBT provides a safe and comprehensive clean.
Enhances Advanced Dental Treatments: By maintaining a plaque-free environment, GBT helps extend the longevity of restorations and optimises gum health, reducing the risk of inflammation and disease.
A Relaxing, Spa-Like Experience: The smooth and warm airflow technology creates a comfortable and refreshing sensation, making dental hygiene appointments an enjoyable experience.

Why Choose GBT at Dental Studio?

At Dental Studio, we believe that prevention is the key to lifelong oral health. By incorporating EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy into our practice, we ensure that patients not only receive advanced dental treatments but also benefit from a proactive approach to oral care. With Emma leading the way in delivering this innovative treatment, our patients leave feeling refreshed, confident, and better informed about their oral health.

A link between oral health and Alzheimer’s?

A thought provoking article created abit of a stir at Dental Studio recently, both in the practice and on Twitter and Facebook – is there a link between poor oral health and susceptibility to Alzheimer’s?

Gingivitis is a common occurrence, with figures estimating that almost half of the worldwide population have suffered with some form of gingivitis at some point in their life.

What is gingivitis?

Gingivitis occurs where there is a build up of dental plaque. The bacteria present in this plaque can irritate the gums, causing them to become red and inflamed with bleeding on brushing.

Gingivitis can be put right by good oral health – brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth with floss or small brushes, and regular hygienist visits can help to remove this plaque build up, getting the teeth back to their pale pink perfection.

However, where the plaque isn’t removed, and the gingivitis left to worsen, the implications become more serious. Gum disease affects 10-15% of the population, and can eventually cause bone loss – meaning that the supporting structure holding the teeth is lost and tooth loss can occur – a problem that becomes alot harder to solve, as well as other issues including pain, bad breath and sensitivity.

What has really caused some interest is a recent study from the UK, concerning the possibility that bad oral hygiene and the presence of gum disease could contribute towards the deterioration found in the brains of those patients suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Gum disease has already been found to contribute to the onset of poor health such as heart disease and diabetes.

In this case, the bacteria that is present in the gum disease have been found in the brains of patients suffering with dementia.

Although these finding are in the early stages of the research, it could be an opportune moment for us all to re-focus on our oral health, and the advantages of regular appointments with the dentists and hygienists could help to protect in the future.

If today is the day to make the change, and be proactive to protect your oral health, then give us a call. Recent rule changes means that it is no longer necessary to see the dentist before you can see the hygienist, so book in today!
