What Makes Advanced Hygiene Different?
Our Advanced Hygiene appointments focus on prevention, comfort and long term oral health. Instead of traditional scraping or abrasive cleaning, Guided Biofilm Therapy uses warm water, air and a fine erythritol powder to clean the teeth and gums gently and thoroughly.
This approach is ideal for maintaining gum health, removing stains and supporting patients who prefer a more comfortable experience.
Your Guided Biofilm Therapy Appointment
Each appointment follows a structured process designed to give you the best results with the least discomfort.
Assessment and Biofilm Disclosure
Your clinician begins with an oral health assessment and applies a gentle dye that highlights areas of biofilm. This helps ensure no spots are missed and allows you to clearly see the areas to focus on at home.
Airflow Cleaning
A controlled jet of warm water, air and a natural erythritol powder removes biofilm, plaque and staining from teeth, gums and soft tissues. This gentle technique is suitable even for patients with sensitivity.
Piezon Scaling
Any remaining tartar is removed using a Piezon scaler, known for its precision and comfort.
Tailored Home Care Advice
To help maintain your results, your hygienist or therapist provides personalised brushing and interdental cleaning guidance.
