​
Our approach centers on preventive care, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, while ensuring long-lasting and durable dental solutions. From routine cleanings to advanced restorations, we take pride in offering personalized treatment plans that meet your unique needs at every stage of life.
​
We prioritize patient comfort and care, making your family's oral health our top priority.
CUSTOMIZED PREVENTATIVE APPROACH
At Draper Smiles, we are dedicated to providing exceptional general and family dentistry services that not only address your immediate dental needs but also focus on long-term oral health.
Our philosophy is grounded in preventive care and preserving the integrity of your teeth. We aim to provide treatments that are as minimally invasive as possible, focusing on maintaining the natural structure and function of your teeth. Whether it's routine checkups, cleanings, or more advanced restorative procedures, our goal is to deliver results that are durable, natural-looking, and built to last.
​
To ensure optimal results, we incorporate the latest advancements in dental technology, such as EMS Airflow during our professional cleanings. This cutting-edge system uses a combination of air, water, and fine powder to gently remove plaque and stains, even in hard-to-reach areas. It is far more comfortable and efficient than traditional cleaning methods, reducing sensitivity and making the process quicker and more effective. This means a more thorough cleaning with less discomfort for you, helping maintain your oral health between visits.
​
Our commitment to personalized care is reflected in our diagnostic approach. We conduct thorough risk assessments to understand your specific dental needs and risks. This allows us to customize both preventive care and treatment options that are tailored to you. By basing our recommendations on your unique situation, we can offer solutions that are not only effective but also help prevent future issues, ensuring that your smile stays healthy for years to come.
​
At Draper Smiles, your dental care is never one-size-fits-all. Our combination of advanced technology, personalized treatment plans, and a focus on preserving your natural smile ensures that you and your family receive the highest quality of care.
GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY
Guided Biofilm Therapy is the complete 360° approach to dental prophylaxis.
​
Incorporating superior cleaning technology with patient education and home care, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) cleans your teeth more thoroughly and gently than traditional methods like scaling and polishing (SAP).
What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?
Guided Biofilm Therapy is a process that combines patient education with guided dental cleaning. This means that the dentist is guided by the disclosed biofilm (plaque) during teeth cleaning procedures.
GBT is part of a comprehensive preventive concept to preserve your oral health and to make you feel good.
​
Is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) good for my teeth?
Yes, GBT is good for your teeth! It removes the dental biofilm which is the main cause for dental caries (decay), periodontal and peri-implant infections (gum disease).
​
Regular home oral hygiene combined with professional care keeps the biofilm under control for better oral and systemic health.
​
Will GBT teeth cleaning damage my teeth?
Guided Biofilm therapy is truly minimally invasive. It is safe, effective, and gentle to the teeth, soft tissues, implants, and restorations.
​
I have sensitivity during teeth cleaning. Is GBT painful?
It is very comfortable for you and is almost painless. If you have painful sensitive teeth and want painless dentistry, GBT is for you!
​
Why is the disclosing agent applied to my teeth before GBT?
A disclosing agent is applied to the teeth to expose the biofilm (plaque) on the teeth. The purpose of GBT is to remove 100% of the biofilm.
If biofilm is made visible, it is removed much faster and more effectively. What you see is what is removed. It also helps the dentist educate you on Oral Hygiene Instructions.
​
Is it normal for gums to bleed during teeth cleaning?
Yes, in case of gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease), bleeding will occur during teeth cleaning. The bleeding will stop after the GBT procedure and the gum will heal within a couple of days.
