PREVENTIVE
Perio Protect in Newbury Park, CA
A non-surgical way to manage gum disease at home, using custom trays that deliver medication where a toothbrush and rinse can’t reach.
Perio Protect pairs your professional periodontal care with a custom-fitted tray you wear for a few minutes each day. The tray holds a prescription gel against the gumline and into the periodontal pockets, helping control the bacteria that drive gum inflammation between visits. Treatment starts with a periodontal evaluation and impressions for your trays.

What To Expect With Perio Protect
Periodontal evaluation
Dr. Verdi measures your pocket depths, checks for bleeding and bone levels, and confirms Perio Protect is a good fit for your case.
Custom trays made
Impressions or a scan are taken so your trays are sealed precisely to your gumline for proper delivery.
Daily use and monitoring
You wear the trays with the prescribed gel for a few minutes each day, and your progress is checked at follow-up and maintenance visits.
Is Perio Protect Right for You?
Perio Protect is often a good fit for patients with gingivitis or mild to moderate periodontitis, for those looking to avoid or delay gum surgery, and for anyone who struggles to keep gum disease stable between cleanings. Advanced periodontitis with significant bone loss may still need surgical or specialist care. Dr. Verdi will review your periodontal charting and let you know whether Perio Protect, deeper cleaning, or a referral is the right next step.
Using It With Professional Care
Perio Protect is not a replacement for cleanings or scaling and root planing. It works as an adjunct — the in-office treatment removes hardened deposits, and daily tray use helps keep the pockets under control in between. Skipping either part reduces how well the method works.
Staying Consistent
Results depend on daily use and regular periodontal maintenance visits, usually every three to four months. Gum disease is a chronic condition, so the goal is long-term control rather than a one-time cure. Dr. Verdi will set a wear schedule and recall interval based on how your gums respond.
