Studio Z Dental in Louisville, CO, Introduces New Treatment Technology in Their Green Dental Office with Medical Grade Ozone
Studio Z Dental, a family-friendly general dental practice led by Dr. Tom Zyvoloski in Louisville, CO, is now operating a new disinfecting system that utilizes ozone diffusion technology for even cleaner, healthier dental visits.
Oxygen ozone therapy is one of the most impressive new therapeutic practices for combating periodontal disease. Monitoring and adjusting the environment inside the mouth to make it optimal for healthy teeth and gums, while suboptimal for harmful bacteria and microorganisms, is an increasingly important aspect of successful dental care. Oxygen ozone therapy does this safely and effectively, so Studio Z Dental introduced this technology into their practice.
Ozone is an unstable gas that destroys infecting agents by breaking them down on an atomic level. When dry air or pure oxygen is exposed to an electrical discharge, it creates ozone. At a Tesla generator show or near a lightning strike, one can often smell a strange odor: ozone. Oxygen ozone therapy temporarily exposes a patient’s teeth and gums to ozone. This breaks down harmful microorganisms without harming the surrounding tissue. There are several methods for delivering ozone to a patient’s teeth. Still, the Longevity Resources system installed at Studio Z Dental utilizes the infusion delivery method, which employs oxygen ozone gas to achieve the appropriate saturation.
Ozone disinfection systems for dental offices are particularly suitable because they are more effective than additive-based disinfecting systems, such as chlorine. Ozone is a safer and more effective way to help treat periodontal disease, disinfect deep decay, and disinfect extraction sites, as well as other serious dental conditions. Because ozonation is an effective fungicide, bactericide, and virucide, it efficiently eliminates parasites, effectively replacing several rounds of traditional treatment. It helps address the entire biofilm growing in a patient’s mouth without giving a distinct advantage to one particular type of microorganism at a time.
While simple to create, shipping ozone is inefficient because of its instability. Recent advances in miniaturization technology have allowed the creation of ozone machines small enough to operate in a space as small as a dentist's office. Longevity Resources, the American company that manufactures Studio Z Dental’s system, operates at the highest manufacturing standards and supplies its equipment to some of the greatest laboratories in the world, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder.
Ozone disinfection systems can penetrate and destroy infectious agents. They are safe and easy to use and do not add toxic substances commonly used as disinfectants. In keeping with Studio Z's longstanding commitment to environmental excellence along the Front Range, ozone disinfection systems are ecologically safe and energy-efficient.
By purchasing their own medical-grade ozone disinfecting machine, Studio Z Dental is also reducing the potential emissions required to create and ship chemical solutions that would do the same job less effectively. Small steps like these contribute to a more ethical and sustainable dental practice, allowing Studio Z Dental in Louisville to claim one of the greenest dental offices in Colorado.
People interested in learning more about the uses of ozone technology in dentistry can find more information in these videos on YouTube produced by noted technology pioneer Dr. Phil Mollica. Several months ago, Studio Z Dental hosted a conference at its Louisville offices to promote this technology to other Colorado dental professionals. They believe that promoting and educating other dental offices about this exciting technology, Studio Z Dental, can help make dentistry in Colorado a model for the nation regarding sustainable practices. Studio Z Dental in Louisville, Colorado, is one of the few dental offices in the Boulder area that offers mercury-safe, holistic dentistry, as well as family and cosmetic dentistry, including teeth whitening.
