Technology Behind Your Care · The Complete EMS System

Airwave uses the full EMS suite — not AIRFLOW® alone. Each instrument has a defined role within Guided Biofilm Therapy, so treatment stays precise, minimally invasive and comfortable.
Periodontal pocket care
PERIOFLOW®
A dedicated subgingival nozzle for biofilm management in periodontal pockets and around implants, up to 9 mm.

The Protocol · 8 Steps
Guided Biofilm Therapy
The EMS GBT protocol, step by step. Steps 5 and 6 are used only where your assessment shows they are needed.
- 01
Assessment
We review your health history, assess your gums and periodontal health, and understand your individual risk — with careful infection control throughout.
- 02
Disclose
A gentle disclosing solution makes biofilm visible, so we can see exactly where it has built up.
- 03
Motivate
We show you what we found and share personalized home-care guidance that fits your routine.
- 04
AIRFLOW®
Warm water, air and fine PLUS powder remove biofilm and stain above and just below the gumline.
- 05
PERIOFLOW®
Where indicated, a dedicated nozzle selectively removes biofilm from deeper periodontal pockets.
- 06
PIEZON®
Targeted ultrasonic removal of remaining calculus, using minimal pressure.
- 07
Check
We re-check your teeth to verify that residual deposits have been addressed.
- 08
Recall
Your next visit is planned around your needs, with a personalized maintenance interval.

Care guided by what we see.
Disclosing makes plaque visible so both you and your hygienist can see exactly where biofilm accumulates. It guides the cleaning — and it makes home care easier to improve between visits.
For Vancouver Patients
Why We Chose Swiss EMS Technology
We invested in the EMS system because it lets us tailor each visit to what your mouth actually needs.
Precision
Each EMS instrument has a defined role, so care can be focused where it is actually needed.
Minimally invasive, targeted care
Biofilm is removed first with air, water and fine powder; ultrasonic instrumentation is reserved for remaining calculus.
Biofilm you can see
Disclosing turns invisible plaque into something we can both see — guiding treatment and your home care.
Comfort-focused & personal
Your visit is shaped by your assessment, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Not every patient needs every instrument.
