Perio protect treatment for gum disease

Here at S3 dental we are the first practice in the UK to offer Perio Protect for the treatment of gum disease. Perio Protect is a revolutionary new method to treat most periodontal disease (also known as gum disease, gingivitis or periodontitis) using an special appliance to deliver prescribed medications directly to the source of the infection.

The the appliance is a set of custom fabricated Perio Protect Trays™ that are easy to use and comfortable to wear. The Perio Protect Trays offer varying thickness and differing extensions to support a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents of the dentist's choosing into the infected area (gingival sulcus) and that maintains the medications for a sufficient time to control the bacteria causing the infection. As healing occurs, patients alter the frequency and duration that they wear their trays.

S3 dental are currently the only clinic in the UK that are licensed to offer Perio Protect treatment for gum disease.

The procedure involves taking precise impressions of a the mouth which are sent to a perio protect licenced dental lab where customized trays are made to meet an individual patient's needs and conditions.
