Saliva Testing and Advanced Guided Biofilm Therapy

Welcome to Holistic Dental Associates, where your oral health meets innovative care under the expert guidance of Dr. Teresa Scott, DDS. We are proud to introduce Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) to our patients in Spring, TX, and surrounding Houston areas. GBT represents a leap forward in dental care, focusing on minimally invasive techniques to manage dental biofilm effectively and prevent oral diseases.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

The Science Behind GBT

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a systematic, state-of-the-art approach used in professional dental prophylaxis. Utilizing advanced technologies like AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON®, GBT is designed to remove biofilm gently and efficiently. This method is supported by robust scientific evidence and is tailored to minimize discomfort while maximizing effectiveness.

Benefits of GBT

GBT is crucial not only for oral health but also for its positive impacts on overall well-being. It effectively controls the biofilm that is responsible for most dental problems, such as caries and periodontal diseases, and has been linked to systemic conditions like cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Experience the Difference with Patient-Centered, High-Tech Care

At Holistic Dental Associates, your health, comfort, and well-being come first. Led by Dr. Teresa Scott, DDS, our practice integrates the latest in dental science with a compassionate, minimally invasive approach to care.

We are proud to be among the few practices in the Spring and greater Houston area offering Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a groundbreaking, science-backed method that gently removes harmful biofilm while protecting your teeth, gums, and overall health.

What Sets Us Apart?

Precision with a Purpose

We begin your treatment with a microscope evaluation of your plaque to assess the bacterial population in your mouth. This allows us to customize your GBT treatment and determine if additional therapies—such as salivary testing, ozone therapy, or laser treatment—are needed.

Minimally Invasive Philosophy

Our entire GBT process is designed to minimize discomfort and avoid aggressive instruments. Technologies like AIRFLOW® MAX, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® PS allow us to clean effectively without damaging healthy tissue.

Knowledge is Empowerment

We don’t just treat—you’ll also learn. Our team takes the time to educate you on maintaining optimal oral hygiene at home, empowering you to be proactive about your health.

Care That Doesn’t Stop at One Visit

After your treatment, we develop a personalized maintenance plan, including regular follow-ups tailored to your oral health needs, helping you stay healthy long-term.

The Holistic Promise

Choosing us means more than just a cleaner smile. It means:

• A holistic, whole-body approach to oral health
• Care guided by cutting-edge technology and science
• A gentle, supportive environment that respects your comfort and concerns
• A team dedicated to prevention, not just treatment

Step-by-Step GBT Approach

1. Microscope slide:  We take the plaque from your mouth and put it on a slide to see the bacterial population of your mouth under our microscope.  This allows us to determine the extent of the GBT treatment you will need, as well as determine if you need salivary testing, laser, ozone or other periodontal treatments.
2. Assessment and Infection Control: We start by thoroughly assessing your oral health status using Oxone  mouthwash and evaluating all tissues and implants.
3. Disclose: By making biofilm visible, we can target and remove it more effectively.
4. Motivate: We educate you about the importance of oral hygiene and how to maintain it at home.
5. AIRFLOW® MAX: Using this advanced technology, we remove biofilm and stains without discomfort.
6. PERIOFLOW®: For deeper pockets, we utilize specialized nozzles to ensure thorough cleaning.
7. PIEZON® PS: Any remaining calculus is gently removed to protect your gums and teeth.
8. Check: Our final check ensures that all problematic areas are addressed, leaving your mouth fresh and clean.
9. Recall: We schedule follow-up visits based on your specific needs to maintain your oral health over time.
