Bone One Session Treatment (B.O.S.T)

Oral health and dentistry have their place in the overall health of patients.

The Hale Clinic has established a dental service based on treating periodontal gum disease, that represents the most direct connection between oral and general health.

Aggressive bacteria from the mouth can become localized in critical areas of the body - such as the coronary arteries - affecting the normal functioning of other bodily systems, and as a consequence general health.

Modern periodontal treatment starts by determining which bacteria are present in a periodontal gum infection. The Hale Clinic has chosen the BOST treatment system, which corresponds most closely with the current state of dental scientific research.

Access at The Hale Clinic

At The Hale Clinic, we have a lift to the first floor. For Dental patients, there are 7 further stairs to access the dental treatment room. As The Hale Clinic is a listed building, we are unable to adapt the building any further; however every effort will be made to assist patients.

What is B.O.S.T?

The Bone One Session Treatment (B.O.S.T), is an aerobic treatment that eliminates periodontal disease at its source: under the gums and in the bone supporting the teeth. Performed without invasive surgery, the B.O.S.T treatment is fast, comfortable, and reliable.

A typical B.O.S.T full mouth treatment is performed in 4-5 hours during a one day period. Due to the length of the appointment, a custom heated bed is used for added comfort, in favour of a traditional dental chair. After a single B.O.S.T treatment, the bone is able to heal and the pockets can fill with healthy tissue.

The basic ideas for BOST began over 20 years ago with Dr. William Hoisington of Seattle, Washington, USA. Years of research and continual improvement led to several publications in professional journals and articles in the popular press. Some 3000 cases treated with the technique by Dr. Hoisington and dentists he trained in several countries have provided a solid base of evidence of success measured by patient satisfaction, referral of their friends and the end, in most cases of tooth loss and further serious problems and expenses for replacements like implants.
