What is Ozone Therapy?
Nature’s Disinfectant
Ozone Therapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive dental treatment that utilizes energized oxygen (O3) to naturally eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi while stimulating the body’s own healing capabilities. At Collective Health Society in Centennial, CO, we harness this powerful element to treat gum disease, cavities, and infections without toxic chemicals. Serving the entire Denver Metro area, we offer ozone as a cornerstone of our minimally invasive, biological approach to oral health.
Safe. Potent. Pure.
3000x
Faster than chlorine at destroying bacteria and viruses.
100%
Natural. The only byproduct of ozone therapy is pure oxygen.

Modes of application: Ozone Gas, Ozonated Water, and Ozonated Oil.
The Biological Difference
Traditional dentistry often relies on harsh chemicals or antibiotics to kill bacteria, which can have toxic side effects. Biological dentistry asks: “How can we treat the infection without harming the patient?”
Ozone is the answer. It is a powerful oxidant that destroys the cell walls of pathogens instantly, yet healthy human cells contain antioxidant enzymes that protect them from damage. This makes ozone specifically lethal to infection but safe for you. It helps with:
- Reversing early tooth decay (remineralization)
- Disinfecting deep gum pockets
- Treating root canal infections safely
- Reducing post-operative pain and swelling
- Sterilizing teeth before placing fillings
- Tinnitus relief
- Sinus infections
- Cold and flu support
- Tooth sensitivity treatment
Ozone therapy works by inactivating viruses, bacteria, yeast, and fungi on contact. It stimulates the immune system and modulates the immune response—beneficial for autoimmune disorders and chronic infections. It also improves oxygen metabolism and circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports detoxification processes throughout the body.
We invite patients from across Denver to experience dentistry that supports your immune system rather than suppressing it.
Benefits of
Ozone Treatment
Minimally Invasive
Because ozone gas can penetrate deep into the microscopic tubules of a tooth, we can often treat early cavities without drilling, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Accelerated Healing
Ozone increases oxygenation to the tissues, which “wakes up” the mitochondria in your cells. This boost in energy accelerates wound healing after extractions or gum surgery.
Reduced Sensitivity
For patients with sensitive teeth, ozone helps to calcify the tooth structure and seal the tubules that transmit pain signals, offering immediate and long-lasting relief without chemicals.
Versatile Applications
From preventative care to surgical support, ozone therapy enhances nearly every procedure we perform.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
We flush gum pockets with ozonated water and gas to instantly kill the bacteria causing gum disease, halting infection and promoting tissue re-attachment.
Cavity Cleansing
When applied to early decay, ozone gas sterilizes the bacteria deep inside the tooth. This hardens the enamel and can stop the cavity from growing, often preventing the need for a filling.
Sensitivity Treatment
Suffering from cold sensitivity? A painless application of ozone gas can desensitize the tooth root effectively, providing relief where toothpastes often fail.
Root Canal Disinfection
For patients choosing to save a tooth via root canal, ozone gas is the only agent that can penetrate the lateral accessory canals to ensure the tooth is truly sterile.
Cold Sores & Canker Sores
If caught early, ozone can significantly reduce the pain and duration of viral cold sores (herpes) or aphthous ulcers, often preventing them from fully developing.
Safe Amalgam Removal
We use ozone during the SMART protocol to protect the tooth from bacteria after the mercury filling is removed, ensuring the new biocompatible restoration is placed on a sterile foundation.
Extraction Healing
After a tooth extraction, we apply ozone to the socket to prevent "dry socket," kill pathogens, and stimulate the formation of healthy new bone.
Cavitation Support
For the treatment of jawbone infections (cavitations), ozone is essential for neutralizing the anaerobic bacteria and toxins found in these hidden sites.
