Revolutionizing Oral Health with Ozone Therapy at Shea Dental

Sep 30, 2024 11:00AM ● By Erica Mills
In the realm of holistic health, ozone therapy has emerged as a powerful tool in dental care, offering an innovative approach to addressing oral health challenges. At Shea Dental, this therapy is utilized to provide patients with a safe and effective treatment option. Dr. Josh Raiffe incorporates ozone therapy to support overall health and extend the longevity of cosmetic dental procedures.

Understanding Ozone Therapy
Ozone, a naturally occurring gas composed of three oxygen atoms, is known for its potent disinfectant and oxidizing properties. This positively charged molecule combats harmful bacteria, infections and other negatively charged elements in the body. By using ozone therapy, Shea Dental aims to neutralize these threats, fostering a healthier and more balanced oral environment.

Applications in Dentistry
Ozone therapy is especially useful for addressing complex dental issues such as failing root canals and cavitations. Failures in root canal treatments often result from residual bacteria and toxins. Ozone therapy provides a noninvasive method to penetrate deep into affected areas, eliminating harmful microorganisms and promoting a sterile environment. This approach can improve the success rate of root canal procedures and lower the risk of future complications.

Cavitations, which are areas of dead or decaying bone tissue, can lead to chronic infection and inflammation in the jaw. Ozone therapy promotes oxygenation and healing in these areas, contributing to better bone health and less discomfort for patients.

Innovations in Cosmetic Dentistry
Shea Dental also uses ozone therapy in cosmetic dentistry to maintain and enhance the longevity of veneers. These cosmetic treatments improve the appearance of teeth, offering a quick and effective way to achieve a radiant smile. However, their durability can be affected by bacterial growth and decay. By integrating ozone therapy into veneer procedures, Dr. Raiffe ensures thorough disinfection of the underlying tooth structure, providing a stable and healthy foundation for the veneers. This approach not only prolongs the lifespan of veneers but also supports overall oral health.

Why Choose Shea Dental?
Shea Dental focuses on natural, nontoxic treatments to provide quality care without compromising health. Ozone therapy is a key component of this approach, offering solutions for various oral health issues and enhancing cosmetic treatments.
