Dental Hygiene

Redefined Smile provides bio individual dental hygiene care that focuses on oral health & overall health. 

TO ESTABLISH A RENEWED WAY OF TEETH CLEANING!

Welcome to Walkerton's first dental hygiene practice using guided biofilm therapy!

REGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST WITH A VISION...

Biofilm is composed of a large diversity of bacteria found on exposed surfaces of the teeth & oral cavity. Accumulation of plaque biofilm occurs with poor oral hygiene. If this biofilm is not removed at least morning and night; this accumulates to form calculus/tartar which can only be removed professionally by your dental hygienist. 

What is Biofilm?

The main focus of the Swiss technology, guided biofilm therapy (GBT), is to remove biofilm from the oral cavity aka plaque. If plaque is absent, calculus/tartar cannot form. GBT isn’t your typical dental hygiene cleaning. It focuses on complete health of the oral cavity and overall body. If bad bacteria remains in the oral cavity, this travels through the bloodstream and into the entire body. This increases your risk to many systemic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and more. 

GBT removes all bacteria from the mouth; on the teeth, gingiva (gums), and gingival tissues (cheeks, tongue). This creates a clean start for your oral cavity & overall whole body health. 
 
In a regular dental hygiene cleaning appointment, there is no way all bacteria can be removed from the mouth with the typical instruments used. Take a look at the video below to fully understand and witness this!

Main Benefits of Biofilm Therapy

  • Low abrasivity
  • Gentle & comfortable technology
  • Less "scraping" or hand instrumentation needed 
  • thorough biofilm removal
  • warm water to reduce sensitivity
  • Disclosing solution highlights plaque to help address challenging spots

GBT is a device that uses erythritol powder and water with the use of an Airflow machine. 99.9% of biofilm, plaque & soft calculus is removed from a high-pressure stream releasing the anti-bacterial powder, water, and air. There should be no sensitivity or pain with this new technology.

The results of this device is astounding. Your teeth will appear one to two shades whiter and no cleaner feeling will be had. Did I mention, this eliminates the use of that gritty, abrasive polish paste? 
The GBT Airflow is a complete cleaning. It is safe on implants, restorations, periodontal clients, crowns, and braces. 

Redefined Smile provides a new experience for your dental hygiene appointments by using GBT.  Less hand scaling &  ultrasonic scalers are used compared to traditional ways.

What does GBT feel like?

On the first appointment at Redefined Smile, an overall assessment will be completed including extra/intra oral assessment, oral cancer screening, dental hygiene diagnosis, full mouth probing, charting, oral education, and a GBT cleaning. 

What does a typical cleaning look like at Redefined Smile?
