Periodontal cases don't need to be confusing or scary.
Most dentists see at least one patient a month who complains of pain and has a mess of periodontal issues. It’s far too normal to overlook these cases or avoid them entirely.
There hasn’t been a universal protocol for diagnosing and treating these seemingly complex (but very common) cases… until now.
When you learn the simple system to address these cases, you’ll create a regular income stream and do right by the patients who just want their mouth to stop hurting.
Address periodontitis, perio abscesses, bleeding, hyperplasia, deep pockets, bone loss, furcations, lichen planus, autoimmunity, canker sores, papilloma, cancer, basic biopsy techniques, lesions… and more!
The Turn-Key Perio System for General Dentists
Here’s how our succinct program equips you to perform on the level of a periodontist in just six teaching modules:

EXPERT TRAINERS + RESOURCES
Learn from our guest perio experts as they share from their areas of expertise to expand your learning and build your skills.
What is the
"SurgicalMaster® Perio Program"?
The easiest way to generate recurring income in your practice is by mastering the techniques to solve the most high-demand, non-elective, health-related problems patients regularly need help with.
Dental school makes periodontal issues seem completely overwhelming and inessential to a thriving practice– there are so many bacteria, multiple symptoms, and you’re still not prepared to communicate with patients or structure perio into your business model.
While most of the dental world pushes veneers and implants instead of actually addressing the problem, you’ll build a high-demand service if you can help patients keep their teeth (which they prefer), accurately explain the treatment plan, and correctly treat them.
In this 6-module training, you won’t have to sift through disease types. You’ll learn the exact methods that Dr. Ziv Simon, a double-boarded periodontist in Beverly Hills, uses in his practice. You’ll be able to charge fairly, communicate with patients, manage stable revenue from perio cases, and receive mentorship and coaching to perfect your skills.
“Ziv Simon has generously shared his knowledge and experience to me, a general dentist, giving me the confidence to expand surgical treatment options, and renew my interest and enhance my abilities in surgery.
This has been a true gift to my patients and myself. Ziv is a complete person and true professional whom I consider a friend and mentor."

Dr. Rick Glassman
Dr. Ziv Simon has taught more than 100,000 dentists worldwide and sets the standard for surgical education:
Simple, concise, clear, predictable, safe and affordable.
Finally get the clarity and confidence to diagnose and treat common periodontal cases.
“I recently completed the Perio Program training and I have to say, it was an incredibly beneficial experience.
Dr Ziv was excellent and provided clear, detailed instruction.
I highly recommend this program to any dental professional in treating periodontal disease.”
Dr. Rene Ou
“I chose to enroll in the Perio Program because after many years of private practice and seeing that sometimes our periodontal treatments were successful and other times not so predictable, I wanted to learn what Dr. Simon tells his patients and how he treats and conveys the expectations of periodontal therapy.
If you want up to date knowledge, clarity and confidence in periodontal diagnosis and treatment and how to properly communicate (proper verbiage) to your patients to calibrate their expectations, then Dr. Ziv Simon and his Perio Program will deliver that to you.”
Dr. George Limantzakis
“I always found Perio complex yet I could not avoid it as it is integral to all dental treatments.
The Perio Program simplified the process of diagnosis and management into the rule of 3 – i.e. 3 Stages, 3 Grades, and 3 Treatment Buckets.
The teaching style is very simple, realistic and applicable the next day.
The Perio Program is value for money both as a self career investment and an investment for the practice.”
Dr. Sarah S Kiweewa
"A great bunch of people who are very similar minded, willing to evolve and grow and get better and being under a fantastic trainer, Dr. Ziv Simon.
A real treat!"
A real treat!"
Dr. Kavendra Naidoo

"I used to not do much surgery at all, and since I started with SurgicalMaster, I’ve been doing a lot more surgery, has improved my bottom line and renewed my interest in dentistry."
Dr. Patrick Yee

"It’s unique, it’s powerful on multiple levels. Anybody that’s looking to improve their game both clinically, professionally, personally, THIS IS A GREAT INVESTMENT!"

The Opportunity in Treating Perio Cases is Enormous
Finally know what to do when your patients want to save their teeth and stop their pain.
- They're non-elective, and patients are ready to pay for whatever treatment now
- Addressing these cases is essential to the patient's health, and they're often open to learn
- You can often save their natural teeth - which they want.
- Many patients don’t want implants or can’t pay for them, and you’ll feel great giving them the care they need.
- You can prepare patients for implants by maintaining their teeth and bone
- They require simple treatment with minimal complications/risks
- Perio cases are a growth center for your business, because they are:
- Recurring (hygiene, relapse and re-treatment)
- Prevalent (>90% of patients)
- Give you the ability to employ to treat (RDHs and DDS)
- Can include the sale of products (gels, rinses and toothbrushes)
