Ozone Therapy in Biological Dentistry | Irvine, CA

At Biological Dentistry of Southern California, we use ozone therapy as part of our biologically informed dental protocols. Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule composed of three oxygen atoms. In dentistry, ozone is used to support the disinfection of oral tissues, help reduce inflammation, and create an environment that promotes natural healing.

​

How Ozone Is Used in Dentistry

Cavitations and Extraction Sites: Ozone, applied as a gas or in ozonated saline, can help support tissue management at sites of previous extractions or areas of compromised bone. Its use can assist in reducing bacterial load and supporting a healthy healing environment.

Gum and Periodontal Care: For patients with periodontal concerns, ozone can be applied to gum tissue and periodontal pockets to assist in reducing bacterial presence. Ozone can be delivered with specialized devices or trays for routine care under professional supervision.

Tooth Decay and Restorative Care: Ozone can be applied to teeth prior to restorative procedures to help manage bacterial activity in early decay. While ozone can help reduce bacterial load, all dental treatments are performed in accordance with ADA-approved standards and treatment recommendations.

​

TMJ and Soft Tissue Support: Ozone may be used around the jaw joint and soft tissues as part of treatment planning for rehabilitation and recovery.

​

Oral Hygiene Support: Ozonated water can be incorporated into professional care routines to support oral hygiene and reduce bacterial presence on oral surfaces.

At Biological Dentistry of Southern California, ozone therapy is used as a complement to standard dental procedures to support patient comfort, promote a healthy oral environment, and enhance overall biological dental care. All uses of ozone are performed according to ADA standards and California State Dental Board regulations, ensuring safety and patient-centered care.
