Sometimes, Dr. Sue Wendling will be a tooth digging, drilling whining like a horde of mosquitoes angry, when the patient begins to collapse abruptly, then bursts into laughter. Not because of nitrous oxide, but because the scene playing behind his glasses patient's virtual reality, the screen of a movie in miniature, which helps put the drill out of mind.
Comedy is the largest genus in the 100-title video library Wendlings – More requested Chis Farley's Tommy Boy – that's one of the many amenities in your dental practice in 1000 patients.
Since 1997, the practice has been Point in Oswego office with a comprehensive view of the Willamette River. Your site promises Boat contemplating the surgery, a Brookstone massage chair, heated neck pillows and blankets, towels, lavender scented, paraffin hand dips, digital pictures before and after smile and door to door Town Car.
"I get a lot of my ideas for day spas, "says Wendling, a resident of West Linn, professor of Dentistry comedy in Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Studies Dental." I'm dentist-phobic myself, so I'm always looking for things that I can use. It's also how I promote my practice, "she says." Most my patients come to me by appointment. They return to work and say, 'You will not believe, and talk about the experience of having put a hot pillow the base of your neck … We create a culture. "
It is an elite culture that is being replicated across the nation. The June issue of the Dental Practice Report, a trade magazine that focuses on the business side of dentistry, carried a cover story of six pages, "Dental Spa: Fad, Niche, or Emerging Trend? "
The article said the practice of attracting patients with an elaborate series of comfort has flourished over the past six months. It being driven largely by cosmetic dentists practice in trying to build a down economy and to differentiate themselves from the competition – not only other dentists, but also do-it-yourself teeth whitening kits, one of the most common cosmetic procedures.
Meanwhile, Madison, Wisconsin based American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has offered a discussion on "Spa Dentistry" at its annual conference last spring.
According to Eric Nelson, spokesman to the gym, your membership has expanded in recent years as more dentists are general practitioners offering cosmetic procedures. Many are trying to complete a death in revenues once and for common diseases such as caries, that have become increasingly rare and needed to be replenished less frequently, as filling become more durable. Although a fraction of 5,500 members of the academy incorporated spa-like facilities in their practices, Nelson says the trend is picking up fashion, especially when the recession is prolonged.
"The days of just drilling and filling dentistry," says Nelson. "Our dentists are not only competing with each other, they are competing with all the elective things people do in their lives. Now people are caught between, "I I want a new car, a trip to Paris or a smile make-over? A mouthful of veneers can cost between $ 3,600 and $ 20,000. "
Nelson's not kidding. Wendling charges $ 1,200 per tooth for veneers. For a full mouth bleaching, she charges $ 460 to $ 900, and a full mouth restoration, the project is between $ 36,000 to $ 40,000.
In Art of Smile Making in Lake Oswego, the practice of cosmetic dentistry academy owned by member Steve Lind, the president – who at the flick a switch delivers a full body massage – is rarely empty. Lind complements its services with virtual reality goggles, surround sound headphones and heated towel racks and covered. He orders for their patients donuts in the morning and pours wine for his patients in the afternoon.
And at Paramount Dental Care in West Linn, which opened in Cascade, held in October, Grant Smith offers fresh bread and cookies. Gardenia-scented aromatherapy candles burn in the waiting room, which, with its overstuffed chairs and sofas, looking more like living room of someone.
More burn candles in the offices where the lights are dim and patients hear James Taylor on Bose headphones or watch "Happy Gilmore "or" Forrest Gump "on the ceiling flat panel displays. Even the sound of the drill is missing because Smith moved to an air abrasion tool that works as a miniature sand blaster, eliminating the need to whine and anesthesia. All is quiet except for the occasional laugh.
"Without doubt, this is increase our customer base, "says Smith, a Lake Oswego resident who has invested $ 50,000 in its new home and want to add a full-time masseuse.
"To have a laugh patient during a root canal is a great experience."
