What is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is a treatment designed to improve gum health by applying medication directly to areas where gum disease-causing bacteria are most active. The Perio Tray™ is a personalized dental appliance that delivers medication deep into periodontal pockets, areas that are difficult to clean with regular dental hygiene.

Each Perio Tray is customized for your mouth, ensuring the medication is delivered right where it’s needed most, without discomfort.

You only need to wear your Perio Tray for a few minutes each day, making it a convenient addition to your oral health routine that supports long-term gum health.

What are the advantages of Perio Protect?

Perio Protect has a range of benefits, making it a popular choice among patients seeking an effective alternative to traditional gum disease treatments.

Gentle and noninvasive

Unlike some deep cleaning or surgical methods, Perio Protect is noninvasive. The trays are easy to wear at home, making it a simple, pain-free way to manage gum disease.

Enhances gum health

The deep-delivery system ensures medication reaches the source of infection, helping reduce bacteria, inflammation, and the risk of future gum disease.

Bonus cosmetic benefits

In addition to treating gum disease, Perio Protect can help whiten your teeth and improve breath freshness—ideal for those interested in both oral health and cosmetic improvements.

What can I expect from Perio Protect treatment?

Perio Protect is designed to be easy and comfortable, and the Columbia Dental team will ensure that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs.

Your dentist at Columbia Dental will create a plan that includes how often and for how long to wear your Perio Tray for optimal results.

Since gum disease is a chronic issue, Perio Protect helps prevent bacteria from recolonizing your gums over time. Your dentist will review your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed to keep your gums healthy.
