Not Your Average Trip to the Orthodontist
By Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, D.M.D.
Exotic flowers, aromatherapy, scented candles, soothing music…Think you’re visiting a luxurious spa? No, you’re at the dentist. The notion of a ‘drill-free’ and ‘aesthetically pleasing’ dental practice is part of an increasing trend which is brushing over America. The new state-of-the-art orthodontic center in both New York City and Woodbury, NY is taking patients to new heights of stress-free, relaxing orthodontic care. Every patient is pampered from the moment he/she enters the inviting space. If a patient is relaxed then I can focus more on providing the high quality dental care which my patients have come to expect. As a specialist in orthodontics and the national spokesperson for INVISALIGN, I also partner with cosmetic dentists and plastic surgeons to create the ultimate ‘beautiful smile.’
Dental Spa - What You Can Expect
As patients enter the spa-like center, all five senses are invigorated. Intoxicating aromatherapy candles are meticulously placed to create an enticing atmosphere. As you enter one of the state-of-the-art studios, patients can choose from a variety of flavored gloves used by the orthodontic team for a palette-pleasing experience. These rooms are equipped with neck pillows and massaging dental chairs. For added privacy, treatment room windows can take on a ‘frosted appearance’ with just the touch of a button.
Those patients who need further distractions can choose from a variety of soothing music, or they may opt for a private screening of their favorite film or TV program. Patients drift into a peaceful state, and many patients forget that they’ve actually come in for the standard tooth cleaning or orthodontic work.
Dental Spa - Latest Technology
Because I utilize the latest techniques in computerized orthodontics and advanced orthodontic wires, my patients are able to increase the time between their visits from monthly visits to every 2-4 months, while seeing the most amazing results. Additionally, the center is equipped with the latest digital computer imaging systems and digital radiographic equipment so I can show patients their cases along with similar completed ones. I am providing a high-end service for those patients who may not visit a dentist otherwise. Going to the dentist is a necessary evil, but I hope to appease all anxieties and make dental checkups a more pleasurable experience for all my patients, even those with extreme dental phobias. It’s not about gimmicks. It’s treating people the way they want to be treated.
Services For Children
In addition to treating adults to this very ‘Zen-like’ approach to dentistry, the practice caters to children and teens. A trip to the Woodbury office is more like going to a ‘playland’ than to the dentist. I wanted to create a very colorful and playful work area with patients having access to their own TVs, web surfing, and video games. The NYC office is what I like to describe as a ‘little pearl oasis’ in a busy bustling city with patients constantly on the go. Both offices allow you to de-stress and walk away with the most beautiful smile ever!
