Some dental spas skip the massages and offer traditional medical spa services like Botox and Juvederm injections.
The most common dental spa simply offers traditional dentistry services in a spa-like setting, with a few spa touches. A spa-like design usually includes a beautiful reception area instead of a receptionist on the other side of a glass wall, and comfortable furnishings in the waiting area.
The spa setting signals relaxation, and counters the negative associations that people have with going to the dentist. A good example of this approach is DentalSpa in Indianapolis, Indiana, which looks more like a spa than a dentist's office.
Owner Amy Hampton, DDS, offers complimentary amenities like massage for hands, feet, head or neck, paraffin wax hand treatments, flat screen televisions, TV or music on personal headphones, leg and neck pillows, blankets , and milkshakes after your treatment.
Rozenberg Dental Day Spa in Manhattan has a spa-like atmosphere, with fresh flowers, soft dim lights, and gently flickering candles. Patients get heated neck wraps infused with eucalyptus and cinnamon and hot tea. A massage pad is on every exam chair, and you can have calming herbal eyelid compresses to go over your eyes while you're in the dental chair.
