The lobby of an Atlanta Dental Spa.
A dental spa is a dental facility that is supervised and run by a licensed Oral Health Care provider in which general dentistry as well as cosmetic dentistry services are offered in a spa-like atmosphere.
Just because you hear the word “spa” isn’t necessarily indicative of traditional spa-treatments, though it can be. Some dental spas do offer spa treatments like massages, facials, micro-dermabrasion, reflexology, and other therapeutic and rejuvenating services to complement dental treatments. Other dental spas may offer only medical spa treatments in addition to the dental services, for example Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane injections.

Dental spas most commonly offer the traditional services your dentist does except in a more relaxed setting with beautiful furnishings and a reception area designed in the art of Feng Shui. The spa setting is exceptionally idyllic for people who associate a dental visit with fear. Dental spas first came into existence in the 1990s after years of scientific studies proving dental anxiety or dental fear to be a very real phenomenon. Dental Spas help to pamper and relax the patient, with a combination of any of the following amenities:
A patient receives a paraffin wax treatment on one hand and a massage on the other. Not bad…
- Aromatherapy
- Massaging dental chair
- Headphones with soothing music
- Paraffin wax hand treatments
- Hand lotion and massage
- Heated blanket
- Heated and scented neck pillow
- Heated aromatherapy eye pillow
- Heated face cloth
- Bottled water, flavored coffee, juice assortments and herbal tea
One of the most notable dental spas is the Rozenberg Dental Day Spa in Manhattan. To give you an idea of what the experience is like, an appointment here offers patients a relaxing atmosphere of dimmed lighting and flickering candles surrounded by fresh flowers. Every exam chair has a massage pad and each patients can choose to have soothing herbal eyelid compresses during the examination. Patients are offered hot tea along with heated neck wraps infused with eucalyptus and cinnamon.
