Perio Protect in Dunwoody, GA

Revolutionary at-home gum disease treatment that heals while you sleep — fighting infection with custom trays that deliver medication deep below the gumline.

Traditional gum disease treatment often means multiple appointments, uncomfortable procedures, and temporary results. Perio Protect changes everything by putting powerful periodontal therapy in your hands—literally. This innovative system uses custom-fitted trays to deliver medication directly into infected gum pockets, treating disease at its source while you relax at home. At Brightworks Dentistry, we’re proud to offer Perio Protect as a comfortable, convenient solution that transforms how patients manage and overcome gum disease.

What Is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment system that manages gum disease using customized prescription trays. These trays deliver antimicrobial medication deep into periodontal pockets where traditional brushing, flossing, and even professional cleanings can’t reach effectively.

The patented Perio Tray design creates a seal around teeth, allowing medication to penetrate below the gumline and remain in contact with infected tissue. This sustained delivery kills bacteria that cause gum disease while reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Unlike surgical treatments or repeated deep cleanings, Perio Protect offers a gentler approach that patients control from the comfort of home, wearing trays for just minutes each day.

How Perio Protect Works

The Perio Protect Method® is a simple yet highly effective treatment process that involves the following steps:

Custom Tray Fabrication

The first step in the Perio Protect Method® is the creation of custom trays that fit precisely over your teeth and gums. These trays are designed to deliver medication directly to the periodontal pockets, where bacteria thrive. The trays are made from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit that is both comfortable and effective.

Medication Delivery

Once your custom trays are ready, you will be provided with a specially formulated medication, typically an antimicrobial or antibiotic gel, to use with the trays. The medication is placed inside the trays, which are then worn over your teeth for a specified amount of time each day.

The trays are designed to create a seal around your gums, ensuring that the medication is delivered deep into the periodontal pockets where it is most needed. This targeted delivery method helps to reduce the bacteria that cause gum disease, promote healing, and prevent further damage to the gums and bone.

At-Home Treatment

One of the key advantages of the Perio Protect Method® is that it allows for convenient at-home treatment. You simply wear the trays for the recommended amount of time each day—typically for 10 to 15 minutes, one to two times per day. This makes it easy to incorporate the treatment into your daily routine.

The at-home aspect of the Perio Protect Method® means that you can continuously manage your gum health between regular dental visits, helping to maintain the results of professional treatments and prevent the progression of gum disease.

Regular Monitoring

While the Perio Protect Method® is an at-home treatment, it is important to maintain regular dental check-ups to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.Your dentist in Dunwoody, GA, at Brightworks Dentistry will evaluate the health of your gums, assess the effectiveness of the treatment, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

The Benefits of Perio Protect

The Perio Protect Method® offers several significant benefits that make it an attractive option for managing and treating gum disease:

Non-Invasive Treatment

Unlike surgical treatments for gum disease, the Perio Protect Method® is non-invasive. There is no need for incisions, sutures, or the discomfort associated with surgical procedures.This makes it a more comfortable option for patients, particularly those with dental anxiety or a preference for less invasive treatments.

Effective Bacterial Reduction

The Perio Protect trays deliver medication directly to the source of the infection, targeting the bacteria that cause gum disease. This targeted approach helps to significantly reduce the bacterial load in the periodontal pockets, leading to improved gum health and reduced symptoms.

Convenient At-Home Care

One of the standout features of the Perio Protect Method® is the convenience of at-home care. The trays are easy to use and can be worn for just a few minutes each day, making it simple to incorporate into your daily routine. This convenience encourages consistent use, which is essential for effective treatment.

Improved Gum Health

By reducing the bacteria that cause gum disease, the Perio Protect Method® helps to promote healing and restore the health of your gums. Patients often experience reduced inflammation, less bleeding, and an overall improvement in gum health after using the Perio Protect Method®.

Prevention of Disease Progression

Regular use of the Perio Protect trays helps to prevent the progression of gum disease by maintaining a healthier oral environment. This can reduce the need for more invasive treatments in the future and help you keep your natural teeth for longer.

Fresher Breath

Gum disease is a common cause of bad breath, as the bacteria that cause the infection produce foul-smelling compounds. By reducing the bacterial load in your mouth, the Perio Protect Method® can help to eliminate bad breath and leave your mouth feeling fresher.
