There’s more to a healthy mouth than brushing and flossing. If your gums are feeling tender, you're dealing with recurring infections, or you’re just looking for a more natural way to stay ahead of dental problems, ozone therapy might be a great fit.
At Eden Smile Design, we use medical-grade ozone to help disinfect the mouth in a safe, comfortable, and non-invasive way. It’s one of the easiest ways we can help keep your teeth and gums healthy, without relying on harsh chemicals or antibiotics. Whether you’re actively treating gum disease or just want to support your long-term wellness, dental ozone therapy offers a smart, modern approach that puts your comfort first.
At our Newport Beach office, we’re always looking for ways to make dental care simpler, safer, and more effective. That’s exactly why we offer dental ozone therapy as part of many everyday treatments.
Dr. Chau and the team use ozone not just to treat problems, but to help avoid them altogether. It’s an easy way to support healing, lower inflammation, and protect your smile, especially for patients who are sensitive to certain materials or want to take a more holistic path to dental care.
Dental ozone therapy is a gentle way to clean and support the health of your mouth using oxygen in its most active form. Instead of using chemicals or antibiotics, we apply ozone gas, ozonated water, or ozonated oil to the teeth and gums to remove bacteria and reduce inflammation.
Ozone works fast, and it’s naturally compatible with the body. It kills the bacteria that cause decay and gum disease, helps the tissues heal, and doesn’t leave behind anything toxic. It’s safe for nearly everyone, including kids and people with material sensitivities, and it supports both oral and whole-body wellness.
We use ozone therapy across many different treatments. It’s easy to add, doesn’t change your experience in the chair, and gives us better results without adding extra steps or discomfort.
Ozone helps clean deep under the gums where harmful bacteria like to hide. It reduces inflammation, helps the tissue heal, and gives us a safer, more natural way to manage gum disease.
When we’re placing a filling or crown, ozone helps disinfect the tooth before we restore it. It can also cut down on sensitivity and help protect the nerve inside the tooth.
If you have early decay or demineralized enamel, ozone can help the tooth absorb calcium and phosphate from your saliva, so it has a chance to rebuild and stay strong.
From cold sores to ulcers to fungal infections, ozone therapy can help calm irritation and speed up healing. Many patients even use ozonated oil at home for small cuts or bites.
We apply ozone to the site after removing a tooth to help the area stay clean and heal more quickly. It’s also helpful around dental implants, especially if there’s inflammation or infection in the area.
Ozone therapy gives us a way to treat problems more gently. Patients appreciate that it’s clean, simple, and supportive of the body’s natural healing. It also fits well into a wellness-based lifestyle.
Some benefits include:
This treatment is especially helpful for patients looking to reduce inflammation and maintain long-term gum health in a gentle, effective way.
Most people are great candidates for ozone therapy. Because it works with the body, not against it, ozone is safe for kids, adults, and even patients with allergies or sensitivities to common dental materials. It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with early-stage cavities, gum issues, or inflammation and want to avoid more invasive treatments later on.
If you’re curious whether ozone therapy makes sense for your needs, we’ll talk through it together during your visit. The good news is, it can easily be added to many everyday dental procedures without any extra hassle or downtime.
At our practice in Newport Beach, ozone therapy addresses many health issues, such as:
Your oxygen therapy treatment will require a consultation. Dr. Chau will meet with you to review your oral hygiene routine and any health issues you may have before putting together a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.
You do not need to prepare for your appointment, though we recommend staying hydrated and eating balanced meals to care for your teeth and gums.
Ozone therapy appointments are quick and easy, most take less than 30 minutes. You’ll sit back in the chair just like any regular visit. Depending on the goal, we’ll apply ozone as a gas, water rinse, or topical oil. You might notice a slightly sharp smell (kind of like after a lightning storm), but the treatment is totally comfortable. No numbing, no pain, and no recovery time needed. You can go right back to your day feeling fresh and clean.
There’s no recovery period or downtime after dental ozone therapy. Most patients leave their appointment feeling refreshed, with noticeably cleaner gums and a reduction in oral discomfort or inflammation. Because ozone instantly disinfects and neutralizes harmful pathogens, its effects begin working right away, making it especially effective for patients dealing with chronic gum issues.
With consistent dental ozone therapy, many patients see a visible improvement in gum health, reduced sensitivity, and even reversal of early-stage periodontal disease. For optimal results, we recommend returning for monthly ozone therapy sessions. Most patients experience noticeable improvements after four visits. Our goal is to support long-term oral wellness through gentle, science-backed care that respects your body’s natural healing abilities.

Dental ozone therapy is not painful. Some people even find the treatment to be pain-relieving, as the therapy relieves pressure around the teeth and gums.
There is no downtime after getting oxygen therapy! You can return to your daily routine immediately.
You can eat and drink immediately after treatment, though we recommend waiting at least half an hour to allow the treatment to take full effect.
The cost of dental ozone therapy varies depending on individual patient needs. We will give you a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover dental ozone therapy as it is considered an adjunctive treatment. We will help you verify your coverage and explore financing options if needed.
