EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy® (GBT) is an advanced professional oral hygiene treatment that delivers a healthier smile you can see and feel.
As one of the most effective ways to maintain oral health and gently brighten teeth, GBT works by disrupting harmful biofilm thoroughly yet delicately. This targeted approach helps prevent oral disease and leaves your mouth feeling noticeably fresher and cleaner after every visit.
GBT represents a completely new approach to professional dental cleaning. It is gentler, more comfortable and clinically proven to be more effective, providing the superior level of care your smile deserves.

EMS GBT is suitable for adults and children from 3 years and older. It’s ideal for anyone who wants a cleaner, healthier mouth, especially those who find traditional dental cleanings uncomfortable.

Because GBT is so gentle, it’s an excellent option for patients who feel anxious about dental treatments or have sensitive teeth and gums.
Biofilm, commonly known as plaque, is a tooth coloured bacteria containing a sticky film that constantly forms in the mouth.

EMS GBT follows a structured 8-step protocol, tailored to each patient. This includes a general assessment, plaque disclosure, personalised oral care guidance and treatment using award-winning AIRFLOW® and PIEZON® PS NO PAIN technology for advanced, pain-free removal of biofilm and calculus.
GBT is delivered by accredited dental professionals, usually dentists, dental therapists or oral hygienists, who are trained and certified by the Swiss Dental Academy (SDA).
Since its development in 1982, in collaboration with leading periodontologists, cardiologists and dental hygienists:
