Guided Biofilm Therapy Near You
There is no understating the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene. Keeping your teeth and gums clean prevents cavities, freshens your breath, and keeps both your oral and overall health in check.
Le Family Dental welcomes your entire family to come be a part of ours for your next dental checkup and cleaning. Our experienced and skilled dentists in Calgary are three sisters (who are mothers as well). Our family-oriented practice understands where you are coming from and is excited to provide you quality dental care on your schedule.
We’ve put ourselves on the forefront of modern cleaning technology to make quality, comfortable dental care affordable and easily accessible. We are one of the first few clinics in all of Calgary to be certified to provide Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) which is a less abrasive method of teeth cleaning.
Oral Exams: What are They?
An oral exam or checkup is a common form of preventative dentistry. Dentists recommend having an exam at least twice a year. As we get to know you and your loved ones, we can address any concerns as they arise and treat them immediately before they become more serious.
When you arrive at Le Family, you are welcomed upon arrival into our comfortable environment so you feel at ease. Once you’re settled in the dental chair, we will begin your exam. This should take no longer than 5 to 10 minutes at most but everyone is different. We work with patients of all ages and we understand some require more attention.
We look into your medical background and dental history. We ask about your hygiene regime at home and if you’re taking any medications. We will examine to see if you’re at risk of any tooth decay, infection, swollen gums, irregular tissue patches, gum disease, and oral cancer. X-rays are typically done to see how well your tooth roots, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses are doing.
Teeth Cleaning: GBT Option available
Often, dental checkups are combined with a teeth cleaning. This treatment can be done in one 60 minute appointment, allowing you to resume your daily schedule in no time.
We also provide one of the latest advances in dental cleaning technology known as GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy). This method provides a gentler, less invasive cleaning experience. Using a device that combines air, water, and powder we remove biofilm and stains from your teeth and gums.
It is equally as effective as other methods to give you and your loved ones a clean and healthy smile. Since it is one of the latest dental technologies, we thoroughly guide you through the process to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
At Le Family, here is what you can expect during a routine cleaning:
- Scaling. Scaling is done to get rid of plaque and tartar from the surface of and in between your teeth, and along the gum line.
- Polishing. We will polish your teeth with a special gritty toothpaste, then brush them with an electric toothbrush. This removes stains and helps your teeth shine.
- Flossing. Your smile will be thoroughly flossed to ensure that no lingering bacteria remains.
- Fluoride. Fluoride strengthens your teeth. It can be provided as a mouthwash, foam, or varnish. The fluoride will sit on your upper and bottom teeth for one minute, then is rinsed away.
