What Is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is a non-invasive way to treat gum disease between dental visits. It pairs custom-fitted Perio Trays® — the only customized periodontal medicament carrier with FDA clearance — with a prescription hydrogen peroxide–based gel. The tray’s patented seal pushes the gel below the gum line, where it fights the bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontitis — the places your toothbrush and floss simply can’t reach.

Our hygiene team at Redwater Dental Clinic now offers Perio Protect as part of gum disease care, and the results we’re seeing in our own patients have been genuinely impressive — healthier gums, less bleeding at hygiene visits, and, as a welcome bonus, noticeably whiter teeth.

How It Works

  1. Your hygienist assesses your gums and takes impressions of your teeth
  2. Custom Perio Trays are made to fit your mouth precisely, with a seal that directs the gel below the gum line
  3. At home, you place a small amount of gel in the trays and wear them for just 10–15 minutes a day — while showering, reading, or watching TV
  4. The oxygen-rich gel disrupts the bacteria living deep in gum pockets
  5. Your hygienist checks your progress at a follow-up visit and adjusts your routine as needed

How Much Does Perio Protect Cost?

Quick answer: The complete Perio Protect program at Redwater Dental Clinic is $850 — one price that includes your assessment, custom Perio Trays, two tubes of prescription gel, and a follow-up visit with your hygienist. No hidden extras.

Refill gel for ongoing maintenance is available at the practice, and your trays last for years with normal care. Compare that to the long-term cost of letting gum disease progress — deep cleanings, gum surgery, or eventually replacing lost teeth — and the math is easy.

Benefits of Perio Protect

  • Treats gum disease where brushing and flossing can't reach — below the gum line
  • Non-invasive and painless — no needles, no surgery
  • Just 10–15 minutes a day, at home, on your schedule
  • Whitens your teeth as a side benefit of the hydrogen peroxide gel
  • Fresher breath — the same bacteria that damage gums cause halitosis
  • Works alongside your regular cleanings and gum disease treatment
  • FDA-cleared tray system backed by years of research

Who Is It For?

Perio Protect is worth discussing with your hygienist if you have:

  • Bleeding gums when you brush or floss
  • A diagnosis of gingivitis or periodontitis, or deepening gum pockets at your hygiene visits
  • Swollen or tender gums, or persistent bad breath
  • Gum disease that keeps rebounding between cleanings
  • A strong preference for avoiding gum surgery where possible

Perio Protect doesn’t replace professional care — it supercharges it. You’ll still see your hygienist for regular cleanings (and deep cleaning where needed); the trays keep working on the bacteria at home between visits. Your hygienist will tell you honestly whether it’s a fit for your gums.

Perio Protect Questions, Answered

Does it really whiten teeth too?

Yes. The gel is hydrogen peroxide based — the same active ingredient as professional whitening — so most patients notice their teeth gradually brightening over the course of treatment. You’re treating your gums; the whiter smile comes free.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice less bleeding and fresher breath within the first few weeks of daily wear. Gum measurements are re-checked at your follow-up visit with your hygienist — that’s where we track the real progress, pocket by pocket. Results vary from person to person, which is exactly why the follow-up is built into the price.

Is it uncomfortable?

No. The trays are custom-made from impressions of your own teeth, similar to a thin whitening tray. Most people wear them while showering or watching TV and barely notice them.

Can I skip my cleanings if I use Perio Protect?

No — the two work together. Your hygienist removes the hardened tartar that trays can’t touch; the trays fight the bacteria your brush can’t reach between visits. Patients on our Membership Plan already have their cleanings covered, which pairs nicely with Perio Protect.
