Ozone Therapy in Sarasota, FL
A natural, chemical-free way to disinfect, calm sensitivity, and support healing.
Ozone is a naturally occurring, highly active form of oxygen that neutralizes the bacteria, viruses, and fungi behind decay and gum disease — without harsh chemicals. At Luma Biological Dentistry, we use medical-grade ozone as a gas, as ozonated water, and as ozonated oils to treat conservatively and help your body do what it does best: heal.

A Gentler Disinfectant
What Is Dental Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone — a naturally occurring, highly active form of oxygen — to disinfect and support healing during dental care. Because ozone targets harmful microbes while leaving healthy tissue alone, it lets us treat many problems more conservatively and comfortably, often with less need for chemicals or aggressive intervention.
Why Ozone?
- Neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and fungi
- Supports faster, more comfortable healing
- Reaches areas a brush or rinse can’t
- Chemical-free and minimally invasive
Where We Use It
Applications in Your Care
- Tooth Decay Ozone disinfects a cavity before a filling, helping clear bacteria and reduce the chance of decay returning.
- Gum Disease Ozonated water flushes periodontal pockets to lower the bacterial load that drives inflammation.
- Sensitivity Ozone can help calm sensitive teeth by treating the surfaces where discomfort begins.
- After Procedures Applied following extractions or deep cleanings, ozone supports a cleaner site and smoother recovery.
How It Works
Three Simple Forms
We deliver ozone in whichever form fits your treatment: as a gas that penetrates tissue and hard-to-reach spaces, as ozonated water for rinsing and flushing pockets, and as ozonated oils you can use at home to support gum health. Each is painless and takes only moments to apply.
