What is Guided Biofilm Therapy — and why it’s transforming dental hygiene in Newcastle

If you’ve ever left a hygiene appointment wishing your clean could feel just a little gentler, smoother or more thorough, you’ll love what’s now available at Slieve Commedagh Clinic. We’re proud to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) — a revolutionary approach to professional teeth cleaning that’s pain-free, precise, and leaves your mouth feeling beautifully fresh.

GBT is a luxury Swiss-engineered technology that removes plaque, stains and bacterial biofilm with a combination of warm water, air, and a fine powder. Unlike traditional scaling, which can sometimes feel scratchy or uncomfortable, this gentle method glides across the teeth, targeting every area — even between teeth and along the gumline — without causing sensitivity.

What makes Guided Biofilm Therapy truly unique is its focus on visual accuracy. Before cleaning begins, your dental therapist uses a harmless dye to highlight areas of plaque and bacteria. This allows us to see exactly where to focus the treatment, ensuring every surface is cleaned thoroughly while protecting your enamel and gums. The result is a cleaner, healthier smile that looks and feels amazing.

Patients often tell us their teeth feel “incredibly smooth” after treatment — and that’s exactly what we love to hear. The comfort, the technology, and the immediate results make GBT an experience unlike any other hygiene visit.

At Slieve Commedagh Clinic, we believe hygiene care should be both effective and enjoyable. From the relaxing scent of our Neom Wellbeing Pods to the calm surroundings and gentle approach of our team, everything is designed to help you feel cared for.
