Ozone Therapy
Rediscovering Dental Care with Nature’s Disinfectant: Ozone Therapy
At BG Dental Wellness & Cosmetic Center, we believe modern dentistry can work in harmony with nature. One of the ways we bring this philosophy to life is through ozone therapy, an advanced, integrative approach designed to support oral health using the natural properties of oxygen.
Ozone has been studied for its ability to reduce harmful microorganisms. When used thoughtfully and professionally in dentistry, it offers a gentle, minimally invasive option that aligns with our whole-body approach to care.
At BG Dental Wellness & Cosmetic Center, we offer dental ozone therapy — a natural, non‑invasive treatment that uses medical-grade ozone gas, ozonated water, or oil to disinfect and promote healing. Ideal for gum disease, early tooth decay, surgical healing, and odor neutralization, our ozone treatment supports both oral and whole-body wellness. Learn how this innovative therapy can benefit you.
Ozone dental treatment is a natural, non-invasive therapy for many common dental problems. This therapy uses either pure ozone, ozonated water, or ozonated oil to safely kill microorganisms in the mouth and treat minor tooth decay (also known as dental caries).
What Is Ozone Therapy in Dentistry?
Unlike many traditional treatments, ozone therapy is non-invasive and painless. Your teeth and gums don’t need to be numbed to use it, and it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals that can negatively affect the immune system.
Not every dental practice uses ozone treatments but finding a dental office that offers ozone therapy can be highly beneficial. Ozone is a highly effective, gentle way to take care of teeth and gums.
It is estimated that hundreds of dentists are utilizing ozone in a variety of areas including periodontal therapy, remineralization of early lesions, root canal therapy, and decay therapy. We are pleased to have the ability to achieve optimal outcomes with the inclusion of ozone therapy in dental care. Some of the ways in which ozone may be used in the dental office include:
Ozone therapy involves the controlled application of ozone, a highly energized form of oxygen, to specific areas in the mouth. In a dental setting, ozone may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help manage bacteria, fungi, and viruses that contribute to common oral health concerns.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, ozone therapy is used to support a healthier oral environment, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to function more effectively. The treatment is typically quick, comfortable, and designed to complement other dental procedures, not replace them.
What are the benefits of Ozone Treatment?
The benefits of ozone treatment are eliminating many dental problems such as remineralization, periodontal disease, and tooth sensitivity. Ozone can combat many dental issues without painful or invasive procedures.
Disinfecting
Ozone is used as a disinfectant in the final stage of root canal therapy prior to sealing the canals. Ozonized water is used as a pre-treatment mouth rinse.
Eliminating Mouth Infections
Ozone is used to treat angular cheilitis, the breakdown of the skin at the corners of the mouth caused by fungi or bacteria; a viral infection called herpes; and oral ulceration (a loss of the mouth’s mucous substance) including post-radiation ulceration.
Accelerating Surgical Healing
During implant surgery, ozonized water is used as a topical disinfectant as well as a healing agent. Ozone is used to salvage failing implants and pre and post-extraction.
Oral Lesions and Ulcers
Ozone therapy speeds up the healing of oral lesions, cold sores, and ulcers, providing relief and reducing the duration of discomfort
Restoring Teeth
As a gas, ozone can permeate various tissues and reach areas where a liquid may not. Ozone gas may be applied to any surface of the tooth and destroy decay-causing bacteria. Ozone therapy is highly effective in treating pulp exposures/deep dental caries.
Promoting Healthy Gum Tissue
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissue and bones that support the teeth. Pericoronitis can develop when wisdom teeth only partially erupt allowing an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause infection. During deep cleanings, ozone may be used as an oral rinse or may be applied in gas form into pockets around teeth.
The Ozone Treatment Procedure
At BG Dental Wellness & Cosmetic Center, ozone therapy is thoughtfully incorporated into our integrative approach to oral health. This gentle, science-supported therapy is used as an adjunct to conventional dental care to support healing, reduce harmful oral bacteria, and promote a healthier oral environment. Treatments are personalized, efficient, and performed in our modern clinical setting.
Personalized Evaluation
Every ozone treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. We evaluate the specific condition being treated and determine whether ozone therapy is appropriate as part of your customized care plan.
Targeted Ozone Application
Ozone may be delivered in different forms, including ozone gas, ozonated water, or ozonated oils, depending on your clinical needs. For example, when addressing areas of tooth decay or infection, ozone gas may be applied directly to the affected area to help reduce bacterial load and support natural remineralization and healing.
Comfortable, Efficient Treatment
Ozone application is typically brief and well-tolerated. Most treatments take only a few minutes, though the exact time may vary based on the condition being treated and the overall treatment plan.
Aftercare & Ongoing Support
Following your ozone therapy session, our team will provide clear, easy-to-follow aftercare instructions. These recommendations are designed to support healing, maintain oral balance, and enhance the long-term benefits of your treatment.
