Professional Teeth Cleaning in Augsburg

The basic prerequisite for tooth preservation is, of course, daily dental care with a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss.

However, persistent stains and deposits cannot be completely removed with daily cleaning. It is difficult to reach narrow spaces with a toothbrush, especially in the back of the mouth, at the gum line and in between the teeth.

As a result, biofilm deposits form on the tooth surface, which promote tooth diseases (e.g. tooth decay, paradentitis).

In addition, numerous studies have shown that accumulations of bacteria in the biofilm have a major impact on diseases in the entire cardiovascular system (e.g. with regard to the risk of heart attacks and strokes). Regular removal of the biofilm has been shown to reduce the risk in both areas.

The aim of professional tooth cleaning is therefore the targeted cleaning of the hard-to-reach areas that cannot be removed by daily dental care.

The resulting biofilm deposits are thoroughly removed, the teeth are sustainably strengthened and the risk of diseases in the cardiovascular system is reduced.

A cosmetic side effect is that the teeth are significantly whiter because deep deposits are removed.

Yes, your teeth will be significantly lighter after a professional tooth cleaning, as a professional tooth cleaning according to GBT ® completely removes deposits and cleans the tooth surface down to the pores. The teeth thus regain their original color.

A further lightening - compared to the original color - can also be achieved with a professional bleaching treatment.

Due to the individual consultation and comprehensive cleaning, a professional tooth cleaning with us usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes.

No. Although there are increased costs in comparison (*) due to the purchase of the devices and the qualification of the specialist staff, the ongoing operation is energy-efficient thanks to the GBT® method, which we pass on to our patients.

*As a standard of comparison, we mean conventional tooth cleaning, which is carried out professionally by trained specialists and with high-quality materials.

The cost of a professional teeth cleaning is highly dependent on the individual case.

With private supplementary dental insurance, the costs of professional teeth cleaning are partially or completely covered.

Professional teeth cleanings are usually not part of the health insurance benefits of the statutory health insurance companies such as Barmer - although professional teeth cleaning is recognized as a medically necessary prophylactic treatment.

In some cases, however, costs are partially reimbursed as part of bonus programs.

Professional teeth cleaning according to GBT® is suitable for patients with sensitive teeth, as the innovative airflow devices clean particularly precisely and gently.

In addition, warm water is used, which is beneficial for temperature-sensitive patients.

Part of the GBT® method is also the creation of an individual prophylaxis plan so that the condition of tooth sensitivity improves in the long term.

Professional teeth cleaning is essential, especially with fixed braces, to remove biofilm deposits from hard-to-reach areas. In particular, brackets, wires and bands of braces are susceptible to the accumulation of bacteria.

If the braces have removable parts, these are removed before the teeth are professionally cleaned.

After that, the process of professional tooth cleaning according to GBT® does not differ significantly from cleaning without braces.

Proper care of implants is important for oral health, but also for the life of the implants themselves.

One of the weak points in implants is the connective tissue around the artificial tooth root, as the density of collagen fibers is lower here compared to natural tooth roots.

This increases the risk of bacteria entering and inflaming the tissue. In the case of implants, this is referred to as peri-implantitis, which can lead to a breakdown of the jawbone.

The regular removal of biofilm deposits through professional tooth cleaning prevents this inflammation and also extends the life of the implants.
