Ozone Therapy

Ozone Therapy in Boise

If you are looking for an ozone dentist in Boise, we're proud to provide this service to our patients because of its incredible supportive healing abilities for a faster and smoother recovery. Ozone therapy has been used in dentistry since 1931 and has many incredible benefits. Not only does it help stop bleeding and clear infection, but it also promotes detoxification, oxygenation, and regeneration of the tissue. That's why we include ozone in many of our dental therapies. It's a safe and effective solution for promoting healing.

What is Ozone Used for in Dentistry?

Ozone is a colorless gas made by three oxygen molecules bound together to make 03. It naturally exists in our atmosphere, protecting us from harmful UV rays. This can be applied as a gas or infused into water or oils. It has many benefits for the body. It boosts our immune system, increases oxygenation, relieves pain, detoxifies, and disinfects the tissue.


In addition to providing this treatment in the office, we can offer or recommend products for continued use at home. We include ozone with many of our therapies, such as:


  • Periodontal therapy to treat gum disease
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Cavities
  • Root canals
  • Extractions
  • Cavitations 
Ozone Therapy for:

  • Gum Disease

    For gum disease, we provide ozone therapy to disinfect and promote the healing of the infected tissue. This is used in conjunction with our periodontal treatment for gum disease. To treat gum disease, we use a combination of ultrasonic water, hand instrumentation, ozone, and laser gum treatment as needed for more complex cases. Ozone therapy improves recovery success by oxygenating the tissue and killing harmful pathogens, all promoting tissue regeneration for a quicker recovery.

  • Cavities

    Ozone is a painless therapy that can also be used for cavities to prevent and strengthen weakened enamel.


    When the enamel begins to demineralize, cavities form. The bacteria that contribute to cavities are killed by ozone. In addition, ozone stimulates the immune system to fight infections better, detoxifies the tissue, and improves oxygenation, all improving the health of your gums and teeth. 


    Ozone even can remineralize weakened enamel and desensitize painful, sensitive teeth. It also helps to manage plaque formation. Ozone is an incredible supportive therapy to prevent and treat tooth decay.


  • Root Canals

    It is always our goal to preserve your natural teeth and to keep them alive and vital. However, there are times when the tooth has become too far gone to be saved, and we must extract or provide a root canal. 


    Studies are finding that the traditional treatment methods for a root canal leave part of the infection behind, which can contribute to continued health problems. These problems can range from phantom pains to chronic health conditions. 


    Recent studies find that those with root canals between 24-65% still have an infection after treatment. This is very concerning because this infection can cause widespread symptoms. 


    We are very selective in recommending root canals. But when we must, we take a holistic approach. In addition to our root canal therapy, we use ozone to help kill pathogens, detoxify, and promote tissue healing to reduce the risk of leaving any infection behind.


  • Dental Cavitations

    An infection causes cavitation in the bone and causes a hole in the bone that hides pathogens and infectious debris.


    There are many causes of bone cavitations, from smoking, gum disease, dental abscesses, and more. They are being discovered with greater frequency with improved imaging abilities. Learn more about dental cavitations here.


    Ozone is one of the therapies we use to help treat cavitations. Cavitations can negatively impact both our mouth and the health of our whole body. But ozone, because of its many properties, helps to address lingering infections to help you fully recover.
