Airflow® GBT Becomes Our Standard Hygiene Treatment from 16th November 2026


Over the past few months, many of you have already experienced the benefits of Airflow® Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) during your hygiene appointments. Following this introductory period, we are delighted to let you know that from Monday 16th November 2026, Airflow® GBT will become our standard approach to dental hygiene at Durban Dental Centre.

We are excited to make this advanced, comfortable approach to hygiene care a regular part of your ongoing dental health.

A spa-like clean. Clinically advanced.

This is more than the traditional “scale and polish”. Airflow® GBT uses a gentle stream of warm water, air and fine powder to remove harmful bacteria and surface stains in a comfortable and precise way, helping to make your hygiene visit a more pleasant experience.

It is a modern approach to caring for your teeth and gums, with prevention at its heart.

What is biofilm, and why does it matter?

Biofilm is the layer of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth and gums. If it is not removed effectively, it can contribute to:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • Bad breath
  • Wider health issues associated with inflammation

Regular, thorough removal of biofilm is an important part of maintaining good oral health.

Why patients love Airflow® GBT

  • ✓Comfortable and gentle, ideal for many patients with sensitive teeth
  • ✓Warm water cleaning for a more comfortable experience
  • ✓Designed to remove biofilm effectively
  • ✓Kind to teeth and gums when used appropriately
  • ✓Leaves your mouth feeling fresh and smooth

Many patients describe it as one of the most comfortable hygiene visits they have ever had.

What is changing from Monday 16th November 2026?

  • Airflow® GBT will replace the traditional scale and polish as our standard hygiene treatment.
  • It will be included as standard in every hygiene appointment.
  • The fee for all hygiene appointments from this date will be £90, including appointments that are already booked.
  • For our Plan patients, this treatment will be included within your monthly plan fee.

Already have a hygiene appointment booked?

Please be reassured that all existing appointments will remain in the diary. You do not need to contact us or do anything; simply attend your appointment as planned. The new £90 fee will apply to all hygiene appointments taking place on or after 16th November, including those booked before this change was announced. For Plan patients, the treatment will be covered within the monthly plan fee.

We have invested in new Airflow® technology across the practice because we believe our patients deserve the very best in modern preventive care.

Why this matters

Airflow® GBT is about more than a fresh, clean feeling. It supports:

  • Improved preventive care
  • Greater comfort during treatment
  • A precise, minimally abrasive approach to biofilm removal
  • Long-term protection for your teeth and gums

Our aim is to make every hygiene visit as comfortable, effective and beneficial to your oral health as possible.

Ready for your next visit?

If you have not yet experienced Airflow® GBT, we look forward to introducing you to it at your next hygiene appointment. Already booked? There is nothing you need to do. Your appointment remains confirmed and we look forward to seeing you as planned.
