Perio Protect:
Gum Therapy
Perio Protect is a non-invasive gum disease treatment that uses custom-fitted trays to deliver oxygenating medication deep below the gumline, where traditional brushing and flossing cannot reach. At Collective Health Society in Centennial, CO, we embrace this biological approach to fight infection at its source without surgery. Serving the entire Denver Metro area, we help you save your natural teeth and reduce systemic inflammation through gentle, daily care.

Why Gums Matter
Gum disease (periodontitis) is a chronic bacterial infection. It doesn’t just cause bad breath or bleeding gums; it is a direct gateway for pathogens to enter your bloodstream.
Traditional cleanings only reach 3mm below the gumline, but harmful bacteria can hide much deeper. Perio Protect solves this by using hydrostatic pressure to push medication up to 9mm deep. This protects you from systemic risks linked to gum disease, such as:
- Heart disease and stroke
- Diabetes complications
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Respiratory infections
We serve patients from across Denver who want a scientifically proven, non-surgical path to total body wellness.
Benefits of
Perio Protect
Non-Invasive Solution
For many patients, Perio Protect can eliminate the need for painful gum surgery or repetitive deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) by managing the bacterial load daily at home.
Whitens While You Treat
The medication used is a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel. A welcome side effect is that it gently whitens your teeth over time without the sensitivity often caused by commercial strips.
Fresher Breath
Chronic bad breath (halitosis) is caused by volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria. By eliminating these bacteria daily, Perio Protect provides truly fresh breath, not just a mask.
Comprehensive Gum Care
We combine Perio Protect with other biological therapies for maximum effectiveness.
Custom Perio Protect Trays
These aren't standard whitening trays. They are FDA-cleared medical devices with a specialized seal that forces medication deep into periodontal pockets where toothbrushes can't reach.
Oxygen/Peroxide Therapy
The medication releases oxygen, which creates an environment where anaerobic (bad) bacteria cannot survive. This natural approach avoids the use of systemic antibiotics.
Microbiome Testing
Before starting, we can test your saliva to identify the specific pathogens present. This allows us to track your progress and confirm when the infection is resolved.
Laser Bacterial Reduction
In the office, we may use laser therapy to decontaminate gum pockets instantly. Perio Protect then maintains this sterile environment at home between visits.
Ozone Therapy Support
For aggressive cases, we may incorporate ozone gas or oil into your tray regimen to provide an even stronger, yet safe, antimicrobial punch.
Implant Maintenance
Implants are susceptible to "peri-implantitis," a condition similar to gum disease. Perio Protect is excellent for keeping the tissue around titanium or zirconia implants healthy.
Systemic Inflammation Control
By lowering the bacterial load in your mouth daily, you reduce the overall burden on your immune system, often lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) levels body-wide.
Preventative Care
You don't need advanced gum disease to benefit. Many patients use Perio Protect preventatively to keep their gums pink, firm, and bleed-free for life.
The Daily
Routine
Digital Impressions
We take a precise 3D scan of your mouth—no messy goop involved. These scans are used to fabricate your custom-sealed Perio Trays.
Tray Delivery & Coaching
When your trays arrive, we ensure a perfect fit and show you exactly how to load the medication gel. The process is simple and mess-free.
15 Minutes a Day
You wear the trays for just 15 minutes, once or twice a day. You can do this while showering, watching TV, or driving to work.
See the Results
Within weeks, most patients notice less bleeding and fresher breath. Long-term, you'll see reduced pocket depths and healthier, pinker gums at your checkups.
