Precision Biofilm Removal in Meridian ID

At Millennium Family Dental, we are proud to offer Precision Biofilm Removal (PBR), a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatment designed to keep your mouth healthy and clean. PBR is a comfortable alternative to traditional dental cleanings, using advanced technology to remove harmful biofilm from your teeth and gums.

If you’ve ever experienced discomfort during routine cleanings, you’ll be amazed by the gentleness and effectiveness of PBR. This innovative approach provides superior care for all patients while preserving your long-term oral health.

What is Precision Biofilm Removal?

Precision Biofilm Removal is a modern, research-backed approach to biofilm removal, using AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies to deliver a precise and minimally invasive cleaning. Biofilm, the sticky layer of bacteria that forms on your teeth, can lead to problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and infections if not properly managed. Over time, biofilm buildup can also contribute to serious health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory issues, and diabetes.

PBR is tailored to each individual, offering a highly personalized treatment based on your specific needs. By minimizing the use of power and hand tools, PBR ensures a more comfortable experience, making it an excellent choice for all patients, including those with sensitive teeth or gums.

Why Choose PBR for Your Oral Health?

Biofilm is one of the leading causes of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and peri-implant infections. Left unchecked, it can lead to more serious health risks. That’s why Precision Biofilm Removal is such a crucial step in maintaining not only your oral health but also your overall well-being. Regular removal of biofilm plays a key role in preventing systemic diseases linked to oral bacteria, such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

PBR offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Less Invasive Treatment: With minimal use of manual instruments, PBR is far gentler than traditional cleanings, reducing discomfort for the patient.
  • Comprehensive Biofilm Removal: The advanced tools used in PBR allow for thorough cleaning, even in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a more effective treatment.
  • Prevention of Health Complications: By keeping biofilm under control, PBR helps prevent both oral and systemic diseases, promoting overall health.

The 8-Step PBR Process: What to Expect

At Millennium Family Dental, your PBR treatment follows a carefully designed protocol to ensure optimal results and a comfortable experience:

01.

Assessment and Infection Control

Your visit begins with a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and any dental restorations or implants. We also use a specialized mouthwash to reduce the bacteria in your mouth before treatment.

02.

Biofilm Disclosing

To visualize the biofilm on your teeth, a special solution is applied, revealing areas where bacteria have accumulated. This helps guide our treatment and allows you to see where your at-home care can be improved.

03.

Patient Education and Motivation

After disclosing the biofilm, our team provides personalized oral hygiene instructions, including the best brushing techniques and tools, such as interdental brushes and electric toothbrushes, to keep biofilm at bay between visits.

04.

AIRFLOW® Cleaning

Using the AIRFLOW® MAX system, we gently remove biofilm, surface stains, and early signs of tartar from both natural teeth and dental restorations. This step is painless and effectively cleans your teeth and gums without the need for scraping.

05.

PERIOFLOW® for Deeper Cleaning

For patients with deeper periodontal pockets, the PERIOFLOW® tool is used to remove biofilm from areas beyond 4 mm in depth. This deep cleaning is essential for patients with gum disease or those at higher risk of developing it.

06.

PIEZON® for Final Calculus Removal

Any remaining calculus is removed using the PIEZON® PS instrument, a tool that provides high-precision cleaning with minimal discomfort. This step ensures that your teeth are free from harmful deposits.

07.

Final Check and Protection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough check to ensure all biofilm and calculus have been removed. A fluoride treatment is then applied to protect your teeth and leave them feeling smooth and refreshed.

08.

Personalized Recall Plan

Finally, we work with you to develop a personalized recall plan based on your individual risk factors. Regular PBR treatments help maintain your oral health, preventing future issues and keeping your smile bright and healthy.
