Ozone therapy is one of the most effective and body-compatible disinfection methods available in modern biological dentistry. At our practice in Freienstein, we use medical-grade ozone to eliminate bacteria, viruses and fungi within seconds — without chemicals, without antibiotics, and without disturbing the delicate balance of your oral microbiome.
Unlike conventional disinfection methods that rely on chemical agents or broad-spectrum antibiotics, ozone works purely through oxidation. It breaks down the cell walls of pathogens almost instantaneously, then converts harmlessly back into oxygen — leaving no chemical residue and causing no side effects to the surrounding healthy tissue.
We integrate ozone therapy across a wide range of treatments at our Freienstein practice:
Our practice is founded on the principles of metal-free dentistry and biological treatment — which means we prioritise therapies that work with the body rather than against it. Ozone is an ideal fit: it is powerful enough to eliminate even highly resistant pathogens, yet completely compatible with healthy oral cells and the natural oral microbiome.
Ozone therapy is particularly well suited to patients who wish to avoid antibiotics, those with sensitivities to chemical disinfectants, and anyone seeking a more holistic approach to dental treatment. It is equally valuable as a preventive measure in regular care. We often combine ozone therapy with our biological prophylaxis and vital cleaning programme for comprehensive, microbiome-friendly oral health support.
Depending on the treatment area and indication, we apply ozone in three forms:
Each application takes only a few seconds to minutes, is entirely painless, and requires no recovery time. For patients who experience anxiety around dental procedures, ozone often represents a particularly gentle alternative to conventional methods.
Yes. Medical ozone has been used in medicine and dentistry for decades and is completely safe and free of side effects when applied correctly by a trained practitioner. At our practice, all ozone applications are performed with professional equipment and precise dosing to ensure maximum efficacy and patient safety.
In many cases of early-stage tooth decay, yes. When a cavity is detected at a superficial or early stage, ozone can eliminate the bacteria responsible for the decay without any need for drilling. However, more advanced cavities that have already progressed into the dentine may still require a restoration. Our team will always assess your situation individually and recommend the most conservative approach possible.
Absolutely. Ozone therapy is an excellent option for younger patients precisely because it is painless, fast and completely free of chemicals or anaesthesia. It is commonly used in paediatric dentistry to treat early cavities gently and to prevent the need for invasive intervention.
Yes — ozone therapy integrates naturally with the full range of biological treatments we offer. It is frequently combined with PRF / platelet-rich fibrin therapy after surgical procedures to accelerate healing, and with biological prophylaxis to maintain a healthy, balanced oral microbiome long-term.
