At Allen Dental Lounge, we offer Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) featuring the cutting-edge EMS Airflow—a state-of-the-art dental treatment that takes oral care to the next level. GBT is specifically designed to effectively manage dental biofilm (plaque) using advanced technology and techniques. This innovative approach combines air polishing, ultrasonic scaling, and personalized treatment plans to thoroughly clean teeth, gums, and other oral surfaces. One of the key advantages of GBT is that it minimizes sensitivity by gently warming the water used during treatment, preventing discomfort from cold or hot temperatures on exposed root surfaces. This efficient and less invasive method is an integral part of every cleaning at our practice, promoting better oral hygiene, reducing inflammation, and lowering the risk of periodontal disease.

We understand—it’s easy to let your bi-annual dental exams slide when life gets busy. But delaying these appointments can lead to more costly and time-consuming issues down the road. By coming in twice a year, we can catch and address small problems before they escalate. Your regular check-ups only take about an hour, and we’re committed to making the process as comfortable as possible. Let’s work together to keep your smile healthy with our top-notch preventive care services.

Regular teeth cleanings and hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining good oral health. We recommend that most patients schedule these routine cleanings and exams every six months.

But remember, excellent oral hygiene extends beyond the dental office. Maintaining a consistent at-home brushing and flossing routine is just as crucial as professional cleanings for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Be sure to use a fluoride-rich toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush at least twice a day for two minutes each time. And don’t forget to floss daily—ideally before bed—to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria that brushing alone can’t reach.

During your cleaning, we’ll meticulously cleanse your teeth and gums using the EMS Airflow and Guided Biofilm Therapy to eliminate plaque and debris from every surface in your mouth. This process even helps to reverse minor stains, keeping your smile bright and beautiful. The AIRFLOW warm-water system transforms dental cleanings by delivering a comfortable, warm-water spray that effectively removes plaque and stains while ensuring your comfort. This advanced technology elevates the dental experience, offering a soothing and efficient cleaning process.

Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common condition that often occurs at night while patients are asleep. Night guards can provide relief by acting as a protective barrier between your teeth, preventing damage from grinding. Depending on the severity of the bruxism, night guards can be crafted from various materials with different levels of softness to best suit your needs.

Sports guards are worn over the teeth and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral injuries during high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries from collisions involving the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help prevent chipping, cracking, or even losing a tooth. Crafted to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, allowing you to play the sports you love without worry.

A sports guard is essential for athletes involved in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or any other activity where there’s a risk of injury from falls, body contact, or flying objects.
