Ozone
What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone is a highly energized form of oxygen (O₃) with powerful antimicrobial properties. In dentistry, medical-grade ozone can be applied as a gas, liquid (ozonated water), or oil to disinfect and support tissue healing.
How Ozone Therapy Works
• Eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi that contribute to dental disease
• Oxygenates tissues to support natural healing
• Disrupts harmful biofilm while being gentle on healthy tissue
• Helps create a healthier oral environment
Benefits of Ozone in Dental Treatment
• Powerful natural disinfectant
• Supports gum healing and reduces inflammation
• May reduce the need for antibiotics in some cases
• Gentle and minimally invasive
• Helps manage periodontal (gum) disease
• Can aid in cavity management and prevention
• Safe for most patients when properly administered
• Supports overall oral and systemic health
Common Uses in Dentistry
Ozone therapy may be used for:
• Gum disease and periodontal pockets
• Disinfection during dental cleanings
• Treatment of cavities and early decay
• Support after extractions or surgical procedures
• Management of sensitive teeth
• Care around implants
• Treatment of oral infections or ulcers
What to Expect During Treatment
• Quick and comfortable application
• No drilling or cutting required for ozone itself
• Little to no discomfort
• No downtime — you may return to normal activities immediately
• May be used alone or alongside other dental treatments
Is Ozone Therapy Safe?
Yes. Medical-grade ozone has been used safely in healthcare for many years. When delivered by trained professionals using specialized equipment, it is carefully controlled and safe for oral tissues.
A Holistic Approach to Your Oral Health
Ozone therapy aligns with a biological philosophy of care by supporting the body’s natural ability to heal while minimizing chemical exposure whenever possible.
