Ozone Therapy
A natural, biologic approach to cleaner, healthier, faster-healing dentistry
At Primary Integrative Dentistry, we believe dentistry should support the whole body—not just the tooth we’re treating. Ozone therapy is one of the safest, most effective biologic tools available today for eliminating harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting faster healing after dental procedures.We use medical-grade ozone (O₃) to naturally disinfect, stimulate tissue repair, and create a healthier oral environment without relying on harsh chemicals or antibiotics. Whether you are dealing with gum disease, tooth decay, sensitivity, chronic infections, or simply want a cleaner, healthier mouth, ozone therapy is a powerful, science-backed solution.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
- Kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
- Reduce inflammation
- Increase oxygen flow to tissues
- Accelerate wound healing
- Support immune function
- Create a more stable, decay-resistant oral environment
How We Use Ozone Therapy in Dentistry
At Primary Integrative Dentistry, ozone is integrated into many of our everyday procedures. It allows us to practice dentistry in a cleaner, more conservative, and more biologic way.
When applied correctly in a dental setting, ozone is completely safe and highly effective at controlling infection and supporting long-term oral health.
What Ozone Dentistry Helps With
The key steps in ozone-assisted dental care
Step
Ozone for Cavities (Ozone Infusion Therapy)
Ozone can penetrate deep into grooves, pits, and early decay to kill bacteria without drilling. In many cases, ozone therapy can:
- Stop early cavities from progressing
- Reduce or eliminate the need for fillings
- Sterilize tooth surfaces prior to restoration
- Help remineralize enamel naturally
Step
Ozone for Gum Disease & Periodontal Infections
Ozone gas and ozonated water are extremely effective at reducing harmful bacteria in gum pockets. This helps:
- Improve periodontal health
- Reduce bleeding and inflammation
- Support healing after deep cleanings
- Control chronic gum infections without antibiotics
Step
Ozone in Root Canal Disinfection
One of the biggest challenges in root canals is eliminating bacteria in microscopic tubules. Ozone is able to reach areas traditional irrigation cannot. It helps:
- Thoroughly disinfect the tooth
- Reduce postoperative discomfort
- Improve long-term success rates
Step
Ozone for Cold Sores & Mouth Ulcers
Ozone can significantly speed up healing of:
- Cold sores
- Oral lesions
- Surgical sites
Many patients experience relief within minutes and accelerated healing within 24–48 hours.
Step
Ozone for Tooth Sensitivity
Ozone changes the environment inside the dentinal tubules, helping:
- Desensitize exposed root surfaces
- Reduce deep sensitivity from decay or gum recession
- Protect teeth long-term
Step
Ozone for Extractions, Bone Grafts & Implant Dentistry
Ozone is used to sterilize the surgical site and promote healthy bone healing. This can reduce complications and support long-term implant stability.
