Several years after Dr. Monica Jones Shareef received a dental degree, she wanted to find a way to make visits to the dentist more appealing. In 2003, Dr. Shareef decided to revolutionize dentistry by opening Spa Dental in metro Atlanta. Dr. Shareef recently provided three reasons why Spa Dental may change individuals’ perception of the dentist.
Comfort: “I noticed that most people fear going to the dentist. So I decided to combine the dentist office with a spa. Everyone over 18 years gets a complementary massage to relax them before their dental treatment. I came up with the idea and it has been very successful thus far.”
Technology: The technology makes dentistry a lot better when we were kids. It’s not as bad as it was 10 years ago. One of the things that is great is how much computer technology has come into the practice. We have a computerized system that maps out the crown and allows you to receive it in the same day. It’s not as painful as people think. People can now fall asleep during a root canal. The pain factor is minimum. We also have laser dentistry. If you have a cavity, we don’t have to give you anesthesia. There are a lot of things that are fascinating.
Financial Advantage: If you visit us frequently, you don’t have to worry about a more expensive bill later. When individuals have regular checkups, we can prevent root canals and deep cleaning. We can help you so that you won’t have bigger problems later on.
Dentists across the nation are implementing new technologies to reduce the fear and anxiety that patients may experience. The introduction of deep relaxation,tranquil environments, and oral sedation has allowed patients from across the nation to overcome their dental phobia.
