Dental Cleanings in Glendale, CA
What are Dental Cleanings?
At Smile32 Dental Studio in Glendale, CA, dental cleanings are anything but routine. We proudly offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)—a modern, gentle, and highly effective approach to professional teeth cleaning. Unlike traditional scraping methods, GBT uses advanced air polishing and diagnostic dyes to remove harmful plaque (biofilm) with precision and comfort. It’s a safer, more personalized experience designed to protect both your smile and your oral health long-term.
The Benefits of Dental Cleanings
Comfortable & Minimally Invasive
GBT eliminates the need for scraping with metal instruments, making cleanings more comfortable—especially for patients with sensitivity or dental anxiety.
Effective Biofilm Removal
Using a special disclosing dye, we can see and remove all biofilm from the teeth, gums, and even orthodontic appliances—leading to cleaner, healthier results.
Safer for Teeth & Gums
GBT is gentle on enamel and soft tissues, reducing the risk of irritation, abrasion, and gum recession often associated with traditional cleanings.
The Dental Cleaning Process with GBT
Disclosing
We begin by applying a safe dye that highlights biofilm on your teeth, helping both you and your provider visualize exactly where cleaning is needed.
Airflow Cleaning
Next, we use EMS Airflow® technology to gently remove biofilm, stains, and plaque using a combination of warm water, air, and a fine powder.
Comprehensive Exam & Guidance
Dr. Artur Barak will complete a detailed oral health exam and provide personalized guidance on how to maintain your smile between visits.
