Ozone Therapy

At Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry, we are proud to offer advanced, holistic treatment options like ozone therapy, a cutting-edge approach that harnesses the natural power of oxygen to support oral health. Ozone therapy is a safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective treatment designed to enhance dental procedures, promote healing, and improve overall health outcomes.

What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone gas (O3), a form of oxygen, to combat harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the mouth. When applied in dental treatments, ozone helps sterilize areas of infection, accelerate tissue repair, and improve overall oral health. Our practice uses this therapy because it is particularly effective and it works naturally with your body, reducing the need for invasive treatments or excessive use of medications.

Ozone can be delivered in several forms, such as gas, ozonated water, or ozonated oils, depending on the specific needs of the treatment. It is widely used for its ability to neutralize harmful pathogens while preserving healthy tissue.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

1. Eliminates Bacteria and Infection

   • Ozone effectively kills harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi without the use of harsh chemicals. This makes it a powerful tool for treating gum disease, cavities, and other infections.

2. Promotes Natural Healing

   • By boosting oxygen levels in the treated area, ozone therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. This leads to faster recovery times and less post-procedure discomfort.

3. Minimally Invasive

   • Ozone therapy is a conservative treatment option, often allowing for the preservation of more natural tooth structure and surrounding tissue compared to traditional methods.

4. Reduces Sensitivity

   • Ozone therapy can desensitize exposed tooth roots, offering relief for patients experiencing dental sensitivity.

5. Improves Gum Health

   • Ozone is highly effective in treating periodontal (gum) disease by targeting the bacteria responsible for inflammation and infection while supporting gum regeneration.

6. Supports Holistic Health

   • By reducing the bacterial load in the mouth, ozone therapy contributes to better systemic health, addressing the link between oral and overall wellness.

7. Safe and Non-Toxic

   • Ozone therapy is a biocompatible option that avoids the use of potentially harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities or those seeking a more natural approach to dental care.

Ozone Therapy Treatments at Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry

We utilize ozone therapy in several of our dental treatments because we believe it is more natural and less invasive than other sterilization tactics.

• Cavity Prevention and Treatment: Ozone sterilizes decayed areas of the tooth, helping to halt cavity progression before restorative treatments like fillings are required.
• Gum Disease Management: Reduces bacterial infection in the gum pockets and supports healing of the surrounding tissue.
• Root Canal Therapy: Ensures thorough disinfection of root canals, reducing the risk of reinfection.
• Oral Surgery Recovery: Enhances healing and reduces post-operative discomfort or complications.
• Sensitivity Relief: Treats exposed dentin to alleviate tooth sensitivity effectively.
