We Are Now a GBT Certified Dental Practice – What That Means for Your Oral Health

At Larkham House Dental Practice, we are always committed to staying at the forefront of dental care—and we’re proud to announce that we are now officially a Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Certified Practice. 🎉

This certification reflects our dedication to providing patients with the most advanced, comfortable, and effective dental hygiene treatments available today.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is an innovative, science-based method of professional dental cleaning that removes harmful biofilm from the mouth. Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that builds up on teeth, gums, and restorations, and it’s a major contributor to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

GBT is a gentle, non-invasive system that uses state-of-the-art tools like AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® to target and remove biofilm with high precision—without damaging the teeth or soft tissues.

Why GBT is a Game-Changer for Your Smile

Traditional scaling and polishing can often be uncomfortable and may miss areas where biofilm hides. With GBT, we:

Use a disclosing agent to highlight plaque and biofilm for complete removal
Provide a more comfortable, pain-free experience, even for sensitive patients
Effectively clean around implants, crowns, and orthodontic appliances
Help prevent periodontal disease and cavities with regular maintenance
Ensure a minimally invasive and safe treatment for all ages

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
