GBT AS A PRACTICE BUILDER

The profitability of the hygiene department

Generally speaking, the revenue of a dental practice comprises 30% of direct income from the hygiene department and 70% of direct income courtesy of the dentist. Considering that 64% of all dental treatments performed by dentists or specialists were referred by the dental hygiene team, it is evident that a profitable prophylaxis concept pays dividends.

The influence of GBT

This graphic shows the results of a Swiss chain of dental practices. Their prophylaxis revenue has significantly increased following the adoption of the GBT protocol. 
 

What GBT offers your practice

Occupancy

Prophylaxis has the potential to increase the revenue of a dental practice in the long term. Therefore, the key element is maximum occupancy of the treatment rooms. GBT offers a patient centered approach, focusing on communication between clinician and patient. The minimally invasive, pain-free treatment means patients leave feeling satisfied. They will therefore recommend your practice to others and will come back for further dental cares, when needed.

Decreased powder consumption

Decreased powder consumption

GBT uses the AIR-FLOWING® technology, combining the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master, the AIRFLOW® MAX handpiece and the erythritol-based AIRFLOW® PLUS powder into a synergy. The continuous and stable powder flow paired with maximum treatment efficiency leads to reduced powder consumption compared to air-polishers.

Efficiency: Bundle treatments

As GBT cleans the oral environment thoroughly, the treatment can be followed, and therefore bundled, with other treatments such as check-ups by the dentist, whitening treatments, digital scans, and more. Time can therefore be used more efficiently and further treatments can be suggested. If necessary, the patient can be referred to a specialist.

Employee satisfaction

Employee satisfaction

GBT is backed up by the Swiss Dental Academy (SDA) offering tailored education to practice teams. The continuous education ensures that the prophylaxis is carried out with state-of-the-art techniques. This motivates the practice team, ultimately leading to the retention of employees. The recruitment of new employees is facilitated as competent dental professionals are actively looking for work in modern dental practices.
