We at Club K Dental are proud to offer advanced ozone therapy treatments to our Springfield, Missouri patients. Our team combines years of experience with cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive dental care solutions that prioritize your comfort and long-term oral health.
Ozone therapy utilizes the natural disinfecting properties of ozone gas (O₃) to treat various dental conditions. This three-atom oxygen molecule effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi without the harsh side effects of traditional chemical treatments. When applied during dental procedures, ozone destroys pathogens through oxidation, a process that breaks down their cell walls.
Unlike conventional treatments, ozone therapy targets only harmful microorganisms while preserving healthy tissues. The therapy works by introducing ozone in gas or liquid form directly to affected areas. According to the International Association of Ozone in Healthcare and Dentistry, ozone therapy may reduce treatment times by up to 30% compared to traditional methods due to its powerful antimicrobial properties.
Ozone therapy integrates seamlessly with many standard dental procedures, enhancing their effectiveness while reducing recovery time. For patients concerned about chemicals or antibiotic resistance, this treatment provides a welcome alternative that harnesses your body’s natural healing capabilities.
Choosing ozone therapy for your dental care offers numerous advantages beyond standard treatments. The primary benefit lies in its extraordinary antimicrobial power – ozone can eliminate up to 99% of bacteria in treated areas, making it particularly effective for infections.
Ozone therapy promotes accelerated healing through increased oxygen delivery to tissues. This boost in oxygenation enhances cell repair and regeneration processes, potentially reducing recovery time after procedures. Many patients report less discomfort following ozone treatments compared to traditional approaches.
For those with dental anxiety, ozone therapy often requires less drilling and invasive techniques. The treatment is typically painless, odorless, and completed quickly, creating a more comfortable experience even for nervous patients.
Environmental benefits also make ozone therapy appealing. The treatment leaves no harmful residues and breaks down naturally into oxygen, making it an environmentally friendly option for sustainable dental practices.
Ozone therapy effectively treats early-stage tooth decay by eliminating cavity-causing bacteria and remineralizing affected areas. For small to moderate cavities, ozone applications may help sterilize the site before traditional fillings, reducing the chance of secondary decay under restorations.
For patients with gingivitis or periodontitis, ozone therapy provides a non-surgical approach to reducing inflammation and bacterial load. Ozone water irrigations or gas applications reach deep into periodontal pockets, eliminating infection-causing bacteria.
The therapy stimulates circulation in gum tissues, promoting faster healing and tissue regeneration. Many patients experience reduced bleeding, swelling, and discomfort after ozone treatments for gum disease.
Your ozone therapy session begins with a comprehensive examination to determine the most appropriate application method for your specific condition. Depending on your needs, ozone may be delivered as a gas, in water, or as ozonated oil.
The application process is quick and comfortable. For cavity treatments, the ozone is typically applied for 30-60 seconds. Gum treatments might involve irrigation with ozonated water.
Most patients experience no side effects from ozone therapy. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal risk of allergic reactions or complications. You may notice immediate benefits, such as reduced sensitivity or pain relief, though the full healing effects develop over time.
After treatment, our team provides specific aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure. In many cases, ozone therapy requires fewer follow-up visits than traditional treatments, saving you time and reducing overall treatment costs.

At Club K Dental, we offer a distinctive dental experience that you won’t find anywhere else. We are a Mercury-Free, Mercury-Safe, Biologic office committed to holistic dental care. Our practice focuses on finding and preventing the root cause of disease or damage rather than simply treating symptoms. We offer specialized services including Allergy Elimination through NAET, Ozone Therapy, and SAFE Amalgam removal. We work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to deliver comprehensive, holistic care that addresses your overall wellness, not just your dental health.
Your first visit with us will be approximately 90 minutes, during which we conduct a thorough assessment of your dental and overall health. We’ll take a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) or 3D radiograph to examine your airway, bone structure and density, teeth, sinuses, and other anatomical landmarks in your upper and lower jaws. We also perform a Vitamin D test and a Saliva pH test to gauge your overall health status. You’ll receive a dental cleaning using ozonated water and meet with Dr. Knapton to discuss your health goals and treatment options. This comprehensive approach enables us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) is a non-invasive, drug-free method for treating allergies. This holistic approach helps identify and eliminate allergic reactions through a combination of techniques derived from traditional Chinese medicine, kinesiology, and chiropractic principles. Dr. Knapton is certified in NAET and has personal experience with its effectiveness. He sought NAET treatment for his own hands that were cracking and bleeding, with remarkable results after conventional treatments failed. He has also successfully treated his children for allergies using NAET, resolving his son’s sandpaper skin and his daughter’s persistent leg rash.
Our SAFE Amalgam Removal process adheres to strict protocols to safeguard you from mercury exposure during the removal of old mercury fillings. As members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), we adhere to scientific safety measures throughout the procedure. This includes using specialized equipment to minimize mercury vapor, providing oxygen during the procedure, using a rubber dam to isolate the tooth, and employing high-volume suction to capture particles and vapor. We follow these protocols to reduce your exposure to potentially harmful substances while replacing your amalgam fillings with biocompatible alternatives. After removal, we may recommend detoxification support to help your body eliminate any mercury that may have accumulated in your system over time.
