Professional Cleaning in Berlin Mitte

Q: What is the GBT method / Airflow?

Airflow is a gentle cleaning method in which a fine mixture of water, air and special powder removes discolouration, plaque and bacterial film effectively and gently from tooth surfaces and gum pockets — without mechanical pressure on the enamel.

Q: Why does cleaning before whitening make sense?

A professional cleaning before whitening removes deposits and discolouration that would prevent the whitening gel from penetrating evenly. Clean teeth respond better to the whitening agent — for a more even and intense result.

Q: Does health insurance cover the cost of professional cleaning?

Public health insurers (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) usually do not cover professional cleaning as a standard benefit. Many still pay a voluntary subsidy, often once a year via a bonus programme. Private supplementary insurance typically reimburses 1–2 sessions per year. The exact amount depends on your plan.

Q: Is professional cleaning painful?

The treatment is generally comfortable. For sensitive teeth or gums, local anaesthesia can be used on request.

Professional teeth cleaning

More than just clean teeth

A professional dental cleaning removes tartar, plaque and stains that daily brushing cannot fully remove — especially between the teeth and along the gumline.

At FAMDENTAL we perform professional cleaning using the GBT method (Guided Biofilm Therapy) — the most modern prophylaxis standard. At its core is the Airflow system: a gentle mixture of water, air and special powder that removes stains, plaque and biofilm effectively and without mechanical pressure on the enamel.

Regular professional cleaning is the most important measure for preventing cavities, periodontitis and tooth loss — and the foundation for the long-term success of any treatment, whether implant, veneer or whitening.

Our tip

Before whitening: cleaning first

A professional cleaning before whitening makes sense for good reason: deposits and plaque on the teeth prevent the whitening gel from working evenly. Clean teeth respond better — for a more even, intense and longer-lasting result.

How the treatment works

Assessment

We assess your current dental status — gum health, plaque, tartar — and recommend the right cleaning intensity.

Tartar removal

Hard tartar is gently removed with ultrasound and hand instruments — including below the gumline.

Airflow cleaning

With the GBT Airflow method stains, biofilm and plaque are gently removed from all tooth surfaces and interdental spaces — including below the gumline. Noticeably fresh and clean.

Polishing & fluoride

The tooth surfaces are polished and then sealed with fluoride — for stronger protection against cavities and a longer-lasting cleaning effect.

Oral hygiene guidance

We show you individual techniques for more effective home care — so the result lasts as long as possible.
