When most people think of a dental cleaning, they picture the same routine: scraping, polishing, and a rinse. But at Dental Garden in Richmond, TX, Dr. Reza Memar is changing that experience with Guided Biofilm Therapy — a more comfortable, precise, and thorough way to clean your teeth using advanced EMS Airflow® technology.

This isn’t just a high-tech upgrade. It’s a shift in how we think about preventive care. And it can make a real difference in how your smile feels, functions, and holds up over time.

What Is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Biofilm is the invisible bacterial layer that forms on your teeth every day. If left undisturbed, it hardens into tartar and contributes to decay, gum inflammation, and more serious issues. Traditional cleanings target it with hand tools and ultrasonic scalers — effective, but not always the most comfortable.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) takes a gentler and more accurate approach. Using a special disclosing solution, the dentist or hygienist highlights areas of biofilm on your teeth. Then, EMS Airflow® technology uses a controlled stream of warm water, air, and a fine powder to gently remove plaque, biofilm, and even light staining — without scraping or pressure.

Why Patients Prefer It

The first thing patients usually notice? Comfort. The EMS Airflow® device doesn’t involve sharp instruments or scraping sounds. It’s warm, quiet, and less invasive. That makes it a great fit for patients with sensitivity, tight schedules, or a strong preference for modern care.

But comfort isn’t the only benefit. This approach also makes it easier to:

  • Target areas that need attention — nothing gets missed
  • Reduce the risk of gum recession or enamel wear
  • Clean around braces, implants, and restorations more effectively

It’s especially helpful for patients managing early signs of gum disease, because it supports consistent care without adding discomfort.

Preventive Care That Keeps Up With You

GBT isn’t reserved for complicated cases. At Dental Garden, Dr. Memar offers it as a standard option for routine cleanings, because it improves both the experience and the outcome. It’s a smart, evidence-based method for managing oral health over time — not just during your appointment, but in the habits it encourages afterward.

And because it visualizes where biofilm builds up, it helps patients adjust their brushing and flossing where it matters most.
