Surgical disinfection
Every surgical site gets ozone before, during, and after the work.
- Cavitation surgery disinfection
- Extraction socket treatment
- Implant site preparation
- Faster post-op healing
In St. Petersburg, part of the Tampa Bay area, Dr. Litano and our team use medical-grade ozone to clean surgical areas, treat gum pockets and prepare implant sites, often without antibiotics.
Ozone works on contact to clear bacteria, viruses and fungal growth, without harsh chemistry. We use it for surgical disinfection, periodontal therapy and as part of a whole-practice protocol.
Dr. Litano plans ozone use for each case, applies it to disinfect, supports healing afterward and checks progress at follow-up visits.
Dr. Litano maps where ozone supports your case: surgical sites, periodontal pockets, or amalgam removal sites.
During treatment, medical-grade ozone flushes the site to disinfect it.
Ozone and LPRF keep surgical sites clean without antibiotics in most cases, supporting faster post-op healing.
Healing is tracked at follow-up visits, with imaging where the site calls for it.
Dr. Ulrich Volz developed the first FDA-cleared ceramic dental implant and founded Swiss BioHealth in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD studied under him directly and uses the Swiss BioHealth protocol at his practice in the Tampa Bay area. Every biological case at Natural Smiles is planned, placed, and finished to the same standard.
Patients drive in from across Florida and fly in from across the U.S. A few in their own words, from 700+ reviews averaging 4.9 stars on Google, Facebook and Healthgrades.

Here are answers about how ozone is used, when antibiotics are needed and where this therapy applies in treatment.
Medical-grade ozone disinfects surgical sites, periodontal pockets, and implant sites without antibiotics. We use it during cavitation surgery, mercury removal, and gum therapy to support faster healing.
Ozone and LPRF keep surgical sites clean without antibiotics in most cases. Your plan is set case by case, with your health history in front of Dr. Litano.
Yes. After an amalgam filling comes out under the SMART protocol, the site is cleaned with medical-grade ozone before the biocompatible restoration goes in. How SMART works.
Yes. Implant sites are prepared with ozone disinfection under the Swiss BioHealth protocol, paired with LPRF healing. Zirconia implants.
Ozone is typically part of a larger treatment plan rather than a standalone fee. You receive a written estimate covering the full plan after your consultation.
A consultation with a 3D scan gives you a written treatment plan and cost estimate before any decisions. Call (727) 300-0044 or request a visit online.
