Gentle Dentistry combines dental work and a spa experience
Is it possible to have a dental hygiene experience that makes you want to come back again.
Dr. Zelia Cannon and her team have been providing a softer, soothing dental experience for more than 20 years. And the practice continues to evolve because of Dr. Cannons commitment to advanced technologies and a willingness to change.
Gentle Dentistry offers its patients a unique ambience, especially in its attention to detail.
The relaxed environment is one more often found in a spa. Nadine Lyons, RDH, Oraspa Therapist, provides a unique dental hygiene experience. She is currently the only certified Oraspa therapist in New Jersey and one of an elite group of 100 certified therapists nationwide.
The Oraspa program includes aromatherapy, music therapy, acupressure, dentistry, dental hygiene, paramedical aesthetics, behavioral psychology, chiropractic, holistic medicine and interior design (particularly, feng shui).
The resulting treatment combines natural healing elementsa relaxing environment, music therapy, touch therapy and dental aromatherapyto create a truly unique patient experience. This holistic form of cleaning relieves anxiety, reduces tension and promotes overall wellness. Any negativity that one commonly associates with a dental visit is banished and replaced with a procedure that balances, harmonizes and promotes health of the mind, body and spirit.
To fully appreciate this special experience, heres a scenario from a patients perspective:
Melissa, who describes herself as wound up, with her mind and body going full-tilt following a big dose of caffeine every morning, always insisted on the first hygiene appointment of the morning.
When she arrived, all she could think about was what she had to do that day, not her dental hygiene appointment. Even though Melissa comes every three months, dental hygiene visits have always been something to just get through not her idea of a joyful experience. She also hated all that scraping.
She agreed to an Oraspa appointment during her routine maintenance visit. After a medical history update, Melissa reclined in the patient chair to a warm, soothing, multi-faceted experience.
Melissa had no idea how long she was in the chair and recalls not even caring. She had reached a state of total relaxation, a state she admits she rarely attains and one she never expected to reach during a dental visit.
New mothers and patients who are normally apprehensive about dental visit particularly appreciate this special service. Gentle Dentistry is located at 25 Woodport Road, Sparta. Contact them at 973-729-9044 or visit SmileSparta.com.
