About Oraguard
Oraguard was founded by periodontists with a shared belief: exceptional dental care should look beyond the procedure itself. Because treatment happens locally — but the biological response involves the whole patient.
Why
Oraguard?
As periodontists, we spend our days diagnosing, planning and performing highly precise treatments.
But even when the procedure is performed exactly as intended, one variable remains less visible: the patient’s biology.
Tissue maintenance, immune function, bone metabolism and other biological processes do not stop when the patient leaves the dental chair. And nutritional status is part of that wider biological context.
That observation led us to a simple question:
What if nutritional support could be integrated more deliberately into dental care?
That question became the starting point for Oraguard.
Innovation & opportunities
Oraguard exists to close that gap: targeted, clinically grounded support, built by clinicians for the practices and patients who need it most.
The mission
Bring nutrition into the dental treatment conversation.
Oraguard was created to make targeted nutritional support a practical part of modern dental care.
Not as a replacement for professional treatment. Not as a shortcut.
But as a complementary approach designed around the biological processes that take place before, during and after dental treatment.
Our goal is to translate nutritional science into targeted protocols that are clinically relevant, easy for dental professionals to recommend and simple for patients to follow.
The Oraguard Philosophy
Dental treatment takes place at a specific site, but the biological processes surrounding treatment are influenced by the patient as a whole.
Our approach brings together three elements:
Clinical relevance: Every Oraguard protocol starts with a clearly defined dental treatment context.
Scientific rationale: Our formulations are developed around scientific research into nutrition and biological processes relevant to oral health.
Practical application: Science only becomes useful when it can be applied. Oraguard is therefore designed to be straightforward for dental professionals to recommend and simple for patients to use.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND ORAGUARD
Rutger Dhondt
Periodontist
PhD in bone reconstruction, daily implant surgeon, and the scientific backbone behind Oraguard's formulations. If it is in the protocol, Rutger has the research to back it up.
Willem-Frederik Simons
Periodontist
Complex periodontal cases, real clinical pressure, and a low tolerance for unpredictable outcomes. The driving force behind Oraguard's practice integration and professional partnerships.
Better dental care starts with looking at
the whole picture.
Oraguard brings together periodontal expertise, nutritional science and practical protocols designed around dental treatment. Because the procedure matters. And so does what happens around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
General
Oraguard is a range of targeted nutritional supplements developed from periodontal and implant practice, designed to support patients during and after dental treatment. Each product is built around a specific treatment context, with a structured protocol rather than a generic supplement.
Oraguard is intended for patients undergoing specific dental or periodontal treatments, recommended by their dental professional as part of the wider treatment plan. Each product targets a different treatment context, from periodontal therapy to implant and bone regenerative procedures.
No. Oraguard is designed as nutritional support alongside professional treatment, not a substitute for it. It does not replace good surgical or clinical technique, evidence-based materials, or your dentist's or periodontist's recommendations.
Take our short quiz to see which protocol matches your situation, or ask your dental professional which product fits your treatment plan.
No prescription is required. Oraguard products are nutritional supplements, not medication. That said, we recommend using them as part of a treatment plan discussed with your dental professional.
In most cases yes, but if you're taking other medication or supplements, or have a medical condition, check with your doctor, dentist or pharmacist before starting.
Oraguard is available directly through our online store, and through participating dental practices.
All orders come with free shipping and a 30-day risk-free guarantee.
Gum Health
Gum Health is developed for patients undergoing periodontal therapy. It combines Omega-3 fatty acids, Lactobacillus reuteri and targeted micronutrients in a structured protocol around treatment.
Gum Health is designed as a 12-week protocol: 1 tablet and 5 ml of syrup daily, starting 2 weeks before treatment and continuing throughout the weeks that follow.
Start 14 days before scaling and root planing where possible, so the nutritional support is already in place ahead of treatment.
Simply continue with your next scheduled dose. There's no need to double up, consistency over the full protocol matters more than any single dose.
Bone Support
Bone Support is developed for patients undergoing implant placement, bone augmentation and other regenerative bone procedures. It combines collagen, bone-supporting minerals and regenerative nutrients around the healing period.
Bone Support is designed as a 8-week protocol: 1 scoop in 200 ml of water daily, starting 2 weeks before treatment and continuing through the critical weeks of bone healing that follow.
Start 14 days before implant placement or regenerative surgery, providing key structural and metabolic nutrients ahead of the procedure.
Yes. If a patient completes the full 8-week protocol and, in your professional clinical opinion, the desired healing milestones haven't been met, Oraguard provides a full refund.
