DENTO Dental Hygiene

DENTO Dental Hygiene (Dentalni hygiena DENTO) is a specialist preventive dentistry practice operating from three locations across Prague and the Czech Republic: a primary Prague 2 location at Budecska 2165/33, a second Prague clinic at Roskotova 1717/2 in Praha 4, and a regional practice in Milevsko. Founded in 2018, DENTO has built its reputation around delivering evidence-based, premium dental hygiene services using modern protocols and professional-grade equipment, with a focus on genuine gum health improvement and long-term oral wellness rather than one-off cleaning appointments.

Unlike general dental practices that offer hygiene as one service among many, DENTO operates exclusively as a dental hygiene and preventive dentistry specialist. This focused model allows the practice to invest deeply in hygiene-specific protocols, staff training, and equipment, delivering professional cleaning and preventive care at a higher standard than is typically available from a general dental practice hygienist.

Swiss GBT Protocol (Guided Biofilm Therapy)

The centrepiece of DENTO's clinical approach is the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol, a systematic, evidence-based method developed in Switzerland for the professional removal of dental biofilm (plaque), calculus, and staining. GBT represents a significant advancement over traditional scaling and polishing in both clinical effectiveness and patient comfort:

• Biofilm disclosing - a disclosing agent is applied to make bacterial biofilm visible in colour, allowing the hygienist to identify exactly where bacteria are present before treatment begins
• AIRFLOW treatment - a controlled spray of warm water, compressed air, and fine erythritol powder is used to remove soft biofilm and early staining gently and painlessly, including from areas that traditional instruments cannot reach effectively
• PERIOFLOW and ultrasonic instrumentation - specialist tools remove subgingival biofilm and calculus from below the gumline with minimal trauma to gum tissue
• Calculus removal and polishing - any remaining calculus is removed with ultrasonic scalers and the surfaces are polished to a clean, smooth finish that resists future biofilm attachment

GBT has been shown in clinical studies to be more effective at biofilm removal, less painful, and more comfortable for patients than conventional hygiene methods, with particular benefits for patients with implants, orthodontic appliances, and sensitive teeth. DENTO's adoption of this protocol reflects a commitment to delivering genuinely superior clinical outcomes rather than simply completing a standard routine cleaning.

Professional Teeth Whitening

DENTO offers guaranteed professional teeth whitening as part of its preventive and aesthetic service offering. In-clinic whitening uses professional-grade bleaching agents applied under clinical supervision to lift intrinsic staining from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other dietary sources. The practice's whitening protocol is designed for safety and efficacy, with results that are noticeably brighter in a single session. Photographic documentation before and after treatment allows patients to see the measurable improvement achieved.

Periodontal Prevention and Treatment

Gum disease prevention is a central pillar of DENTO's clinical mission. Periodontal disease (gum disease) affects a large proportion of the adult population and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over 50. Professional hygiene with thorough subgingival cleaning is the most effective non-surgical intervention for preventing and stabilising periodontal disease. DENTO's hygienists are trained to assess gum health comprehensively, identify patients at risk of developing periodontitis, and deliver targeted treatment to prevent disease progression.

For patients already diagnosed with periodontal disease, DENTO provides structured treatment programmes that include intensive initial cleaning sessions followed by a maintenance schedule designed to keep the condition stable. The practice works in coordination with referring dentists and periodontists to ensure that hygiene treatment is appropriately integrated into each patient's broader dental care plan.

Children's Dental Hygiene

DENTO provides professional hygiene services for children, introducing young patients to preventive dental care with age-appropriate techniques and a gentle approach. Regular professional cleaning from childhood establishes good oral health habits early and reduces the incidence of childhood decay and early gum problems. The practice's child-friendly environment and experienced hygienists make professional hygiene a positive experience for younger patients.

Individualised Oral Care Planning

Every patient at DENTO receives a personalised oral care plan based on their specific risk profile, dental history, and current gum health status. The hygienists provide detailed, practical advice on home brushing technique, interdental cleaning, dietary habits affecting oral health, and the optimal recall interval for professional appointments. Photographic documentation of the oral condition allows patients to track their progress over time and understand the impact of their home care on clinical outcomes.

Prague and International Patients

For international patients visiting Prague for dental treatment, incorporating a professional GBT hygiene session with a specialist like DENTO before or after restorative or cosmetic dental work is a valuable addition. Clean, healthy gums are a prerequisite for durable restorations and implant success, and a specialist hygiene appointment ensures that the gum foundation for any new dental work is in optimal condition. DENTO's multiple Prague locations, convenient online booking, and professional English-speaking environment make the practice accessible to patients from across Europe.

For patients who prioritise evidence-based preventive care and want access to the Swiss GBT standard of professional dental cleaning in Prague, DENTO Dental Hygiene offers a specialist-level service that goes well beyond what a standard dental practice hygienist can typically provide.
