Restoring healthy bone, from the inside out
Jawbone cavitations, sometimes called NICO lesions, are quiet pockets of poor healing. We address them gently with ozone and platelet-rich fibrin, supporting your body's own capacity to rebuild.
A cavitation is an area within the jawbone where healing has stalled, often at the site of an old extraction such as a wisdom tooth. Sometimes described as a NICO lesion, these hollow or poorly mineralised spaces can quietly harbour stagnant tissue and bacterial by-products. Because they rarely cause obvious pain, they can go unnoticed for years, while subtly influencing how well and how vibrant the rest of your body feels day to day.
At Botanica, we approach cavitations with patience and respect for your whole system. Using careful imaging and gentle clinical assessment, we identify areas where the bone may not have fully recovered. Our goal is never to alarm, but to understand. When treatment is appropriate, we work to clear the unhealthy tissue and create the right conditions for fresh, well-vascularised bone to form naturally in its place over time.
What gentle cavitation care involves
- Thorough imaging to map areas of incomplete healing
- Careful removal of stagnant or unhealthy tissue
- Medical-grade ozone to support a cleaner site
- Platelet-rich fibrin drawn from your own blood
- Nutritional and recovery guidance for steady healing
- Gentle follow-up to monitor renewed bone formation
Why jawbone health matters to the whole you
Your jaw is intimately connected to the rest of your body, sharing nerves, circulation and immune pathways. When an area of bone fails to heal cleanly, it can become a quiet source of strain that the body must continually manage. Many people seek cavitation care as part of a wider wellness journey, hoping to remove hidden burdens and free up energy. By restoring healthy bone, we aim to support clarity, comfort and a renewed sense of vitality.
What to expect, gently and safely
Your comfort guides every step. We begin with an unhurried consultation, listening to your history and explaining what we observe in plain language. Should treatment be recommended, we use ozone to support a clean environment and platelet-rich fibrin, made from your own blood, to encourage natural recovery. Most people find the experience calmer than expected. Afterwards, we provide clear aftercare and supportive guidance, and we remain available throughout your healing.
Choosing to investigate a possible cavitation is a thoughtful act of self-care. Whatever we find, you will be met with honesty, warmth and a steady plan. We are here to walk beside you, helping your body do what it does best, heal and find balance again.
Cavitation Surgery questions
Not at all, which is part of what makes them easy to overlook. Many cavitations cause little or no obvious discomfort, and are only discovered through careful imaging and assessment.
Medical-grade ozone helps support a cleaner treatment site, while platelet-rich fibrin is gently drawn from your own blood. Together they encourage your body's natural healing and fresh bone formation.
Healing varies from person to person and depends on the site involved. We provide tailored aftercare and supportive guidance, and we follow up to monitor how your bone is renewing over time.
