PerioProtect: Noninvasive Surgery Free Gum Disease Treatment

Deep scaling and root planing is a common component in treatment plans that address the needs of patients with advanced stages of gum disease. For many patients, the inconvenience and potential for discomfort actually serves as a deterrent for getting the treatment when it is needed the most.

More Choices

Dr. Sanderson provides a choice of oral rinses, antibacterial agents, traditional gum therapy treatments including the new PerioProtect product (favorite for avoiding surgery) for gingivitis and mild forms of gum disease.

As everyone should know, periodontal disease cumulatively becomes extremely destructive. Periodontitis will cause the loss of teeth and vital bone structures to the extent that some reconstructive procedures may not be possible... even with specialized bone grafting techniques that we are accustomed to using.

Avoiding Deep Scaling Treatment

As with many treatments in dentistry, patients fear the treatment more than they fear their failing dental health. The traditional methods of manually removing tartar and diseased tissue can now be avoided entirely for some patients.

Due to the increasing popularity of non-invasive, minimally invasive and/or non-surgical interventions that are becoming available for treating gum conditions, Dr. Sanderson has recently begun providing the newly FDA approved, non-invasive therapy for effectively treating gum tissue conditions.

Non Surgical Treatment Protocol - FDA Approved Perio Protect ®

Different forms of Periodontal disease are known to have up to a 75% incidence rate in adults. Many adults unknowingly have the beginning stages of these diseases.

Periodontitis, because of its complexity and historical reliance upon invasive therapies, becomes frightening for most of us.

Avoidance behavior for attending to periodontitis, although quite normal for most of us, can be devastating for some patients, depending upon how long and how pervasive the symptoms have been.

The cumulative destruction can accelerate rapidly. Untimely delays in starting treatments can render even the most effective treatments as futile. Loss of teeth is inevitable.

No Surgery Gum Infection Control

PerioProtect is the perfect treatment choice for patients seeking intelligent effective treatment but without the anxiety and fear associated with traditional invasive procedures (planing and scaling). Click here to watch our video to learn more about this innovative product.

The following list represents some of the common concerns people have regarding a perio exam or treatment:
  • Fear of surgery
  • Fear of loss of teeth
  • Expensive treatments
  • Long appointments
  • Sensitive - sore teeth
  • Fearful that cleanings will be painful
  • Unusually foul or bad breath (halitosis)
  • Embarrassed about gums already beginning to bleed
  • Embarrassment because you hate to floss (very common)
Hoover Birmingham Periodontist The advanced stages of periodontitis can now be treated with Perio Protect ® a revolutionary product that enables our Troy area patients to receive treatments that are completely non-invasive and assures:

Alabama Non Surgical Gum Disease Perio

How it Works

Dr. Sanderson will fit you with custom made mouth-pieces (trays), similar to bleaching trays. They’re very thin, soft, and comfortable!

A special gel is placed inside of your custom-made trays. This gel seeps above and below the gumline eliminating all calculus (tartar) and bacteria.

You will be instructed on the frequency of wear, based on your diagnosis. The entire treatment is done in the comfort of your own home. This unique treatment also whitens your teeth and freshens your breath, while reducing cavities and gum disease.

At each subsequent dental visit, our hygienist will gently remove any remaining softened deposits and evaluate the progress of your healing. Your dental visits will be quick, easy, and painless.

Perio Protect has become a proven treatment that eliminates most gingival and connective tissue disease problems without traditional perio surgery
