Kill Bacteria Without Drilling or Chemicals

If the sound of the drill makes you tense, ozone therapy offers a gentler path. Ozone is a form of oxygen with strong germ-killing power, and dentists use it to disinfect teeth and gums without chemicals or antibiotics. At Dr. Joseph Goodman’s Beverly Hills practice on South Beverly Drive, Dr. Lisa Kim applies ozone as part of her gum-health and preventive work. It kills the bacteria behind decay and gum disease, then helps the tissue heal. Ozone supports the everyday general dentistry work this Beverly Hills practice does across every silo.

Dr. Kim has focused on gum health and preventive care since 2006, and patients know her for a gentle hand and straight talk. She reaches for ozone because it works with your body, not against it, and it suits anxious patients and anyone who prefers a natural approach. She recommends it when it helps your case, and she tells you plainly when standard care is the better call. Honesty like this is why families return here across generations.

What is ozone therapy in dentistry?

Ozone therapy uses ozone, a reactive form of oxygen written as O3, to kill germs in the mouth. It carries powerful antimicrobial action, wiping out bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact, while it supports the body’s own healing. Dentists apply it in three forms: ozone gas, ozonated water, and ozonated oil. It sits within biological dentistry, a gentler, whole-body approach to care.

Because ozone needs no chemicals or antibiotics, it stays gentle and safe for patients of all ages. It is biocompatible and non-toxic, it does not stain your teeth, and it carries none of the artificial dyes or preservatives found in rinses like chlorhexidine. Your body tolerates it well, and it can even be swallowed in the forms used for care. The practice makes fresh ozone on site, every two hours, so each treatment uses a potent, clean dose.

RESULTS

What can ozone therapy treat?

Ozone earns its place anywhere bacteria cause trouble, from a new cavity to an infected root. Dr. Kim uses it to disinfect and to speed healing, often alongside your regular treatment. It works best in early and preventive care, where clearing bacteria sooner saves you a bigger procedure later. The main uses line up here.

  • Early cavities, to disinfect and help remineralize the tooth before it needs a filling
  • Gum disease, to kill the bacteria behind infection and support gum tissue healing
  • Root canals, to disinfect the canal and lower the risk of reinfection
  • After extractions, implants, or gum surgery, to speed healing and ease discomfort
  • Sensitive teeth and exposed roots, to calm the surface
  • Cold sores and mouth ulcers, to clean and settle the area

In most cases, ozone works alongside your other care rather than on its own. Dr. Kim pairs it with your cleaning, filling, or gum treatment, so it strengthens the result. For a deep infection or an advanced cavity, she still recommends the standard fix, with ozone as support. You get the benefit of both, and none of the guesswork.

How does an ozone treatment work?

An ozone treatment is quick and painless. Dr. Kim delivers the ozone in the form your case needs, gas into a tooth or pocket, ozonated water as a rinse, or ozonated oil on the gums. You feel nothing sharp, only a clean, mild sensation. A single application takes a few minutes, and you return to your day right after.

As the ozone contacts the tissue, it breaks down the walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and it neutralizes the acids they leave behind. The shift makes the area hostile to the germs behind decay and gum disease. It also lifts oxygen and blood flow to the spot, which helps the tissue repair faster. Nothing lingers, since ozone reverts to plain oxygen within seconds.

ozone therapy cost in Beverly Hills

How much does ozone therapy cost in Beverly Hills?

Ozone therapy is one of the more affordable tools in the office. It often comes as an add-on to another treatment, and sometimes it is included with the procedure. Your treatment and your plan set the number. Dr. Goodman quotes your exact price at the consult, before anything begins.

Insurance rarely covers ozone on its own, since many plans still treat it as elective, so check your benefits first. The practice keeps the cost modest because ozone often prevents a larger bill down the road. Dr. Kim will not add ozone to pad a charge. She uses it when it helps your health, and she says so plainly either way.

Who is ozone therapy right for?

Ozone therapy fits almost everyone, from children to seniors, because it uses no harsh chemicals. It helps most if you have early decay, gum inflammation, frequent infections, or sensitive teeth, and it suits anxious patients who want a gentler visit. Patients who prefer a natural, holistic approach ask for it by name. Dr. Kim confirms your fit at the exam.

Because ozone supports care rather than replacing it, Dr. Kim sets honest expectations from the start. It will not rebuild a badly broken tooth or clear advanced gum disease on its own, and she tells you when you need more. For nervous patients, the practice pairs a gentle ozone visit with sedation and a calm pace, since 60 percent of patients here carry some dental anxiety. You choose the approach for your comfort and your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does dental ozone therapy work?

Ozone works well for the cases it fits. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact, so it disinfects teeth, gums, and root canals, and it speeds healing after treatment. It helps most in early decay and preventive care, and as support during other procedures. A 2025 review in the National Library of Medicine found ozone improved early healing and reduced discomfort after treatment. It is a helpful tool, not a cure-all, and Dr. Kim uses it where the evidence supports it.

Can ozone therapy reverse a cavity?

Ozone can turn back an early cavity in some cases. When decay sits only in the outer enamel, ozone kills the bacteria and helps the tooth take up minerals again, which can stop the damage before you need a filling. A deeper cavity has passed the point of reversal and needs a filling. Research in the National Library of Medicine describes ozone arresting early tooth decay. Dr. Kim checks the depth first, then tells you which stage yours is at.

Can ozone therapy replace a root canal?

No, though it plays a real part. Ozone disinfects the root canal system and lowers the risk of reinfection, which is why Dr. Kim uses it during the procedure. It cannot remove infected nerve tissue or seal the canal, so it supports a root canal rather than replacing one. The National Library of Medicine reviews ozone’s use in disinfecting the canal. If your tooth needs a root canal, ozone makes it more thorough, not unnecessary.

Is ozone therapy safe?

Ozone is safe when a trained dentist applies it. It has a long record in dentistry, and it reverts to plain oxygen within seconds, so nothing harmful lingers in your mouth. The dose stays small and controlled, and Dr. Kim keeps it away from your lungs, since ozone is meant for tissue, not for breathing. The National Library of Medicine reports ozone as safe and well tolerated in dental use. Dr. Kim reviews your health first and applies it carefully.

Can ozone help with tooth sensitivity?

Possibly. Research shows promise for ozone easing dentinal sensitivity, the sharp sting you feel with heat, cold, or sweets. Dr. Goodman may pair it with other steps, like fluoride or a desensitizing agent. Together they help calm a sensitive tooth. Sensitivity can point to exposed roots, worn enamel, or a deeper problem, so he finds the cause first. Results vary by person, and he sets honest expectations before you start. If a cavity or crack is the real driver, that gets treated directly.

Does insurance cover ozone therapy?

As a rule, no. Plans treat ozone as an add-on rather than core treatment, so you pay for it yourself. The treatment it supports, like a deep cleaning or a filling, may still be covered under your plan. Dr. Goodman quotes the ozone add-on up front, so you see the number before you agree. We review your benefits with you and never add ozone without your okay. If your plan will not cover it and the value is thin, he tells you to skip it.
