Our ozone therapy in Park City can reduce harmful oral bacteria and speed tissue healing after dental procedures. At Summit View Biological Dentistry and Wellness, patients often ask how ozone fits into a biological approach to oral health. This article explains what ozone therapy is, how a visit goes, the main benefits, and answers common questions so you can decide if it’s right for you.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy uses a form of oxygen (O3) that targets bacteria, fungi, and viruses without damaging healthy tissue. In dentistry, clinicians apply ozone gas or ozonated water to infected gums, root canals, and surgical sites. The treatment reduces microbial load and supports the body’s natural healing. Practitioners trained in biological dentistry commonly pair ozone with conservative treatments to avoid unnecessary antibiotics and preserve tooth structure.
What To Expect During Treatment
Your appointment usually starts with an exam and targeted cleaning. Dr. Scott Chandler or Dr. Andrew Erickson isolates the area, then applies ozone as a gas, gel, or rinsed water, depending on the issue. Typical steps include:
- A visual exam and X-ray review, if needed
- Gentle cleaning or removal of debris around the tooth or gum
- Ozone application for several minutes at the treatment site
- Reassessment and post-treatment instructions
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Ozone sessions often last less than 15 minutes, and many people return to normal activities immediately.

Key Benefits
Using ozone in dental care provides several practical advantages:
- Speeds healing of gums and soft tissue after procedures
- Lowers bacterial counts without routine antibiotics
- Helps disinfect root canals, reducing retreatment risk
- Reduces sensitivity after restorative work
- Supports less invasive care and preserves more tooth structure
These benefits make ozone a useful tool for treating gum disease, prepping sites for fillings, and managing chronic infections without aggressive measures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ozone feel?
Most people report no pain. Some notice a mild warmth or taste during application, but sensations end quickly.
Can ozone replace antibiotics?
Ozone can reduce the need for antibiotics in many local infections, but a clinician may still prescribe antibiotics for certain systemic or severe cases.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment number depends on the condition. Acute issues sometimes need a single session; chronic problems may require a short series spaced a few days apart.
Does insurance cover ozone therapy?
Coverage varies by plan. We recommend checking your benefits early in care. Our Contact page has staff details who can help with administrative questions.
