We all know going to the dentist is a pain the butt! Some people have such a strong fear of it, they don’t go for years!
I had one of the most amazing and unique opportunities to visit a dental SPA in Beverly Hills at Ora Dentistry Spa. Dr. Sam Saleh is revolutionizing the way people experience the dentist. Think about it: who wouldn’t want to go to the dentist if they know they have a spa awaiting when they get there!
Tranquil Setting
The second you step into the penthouse location right in the epicenter of Beverly Hills, you’re greeted with the most tranquil environment — right up to the light green and white color scheme. The entire office is meant to calm any dentistry fears, taking out the often sterile environment of most dentist’s offices. It’s no wonder he boasts clients from NeNe Leakes to Tyra Banks!
Just like a spa, the office has different treatment rooms and you can request the one you want when making your appointment — all you have to do is ask.
The Kido Room, Chi Room, Hara Room, and Bodhi Room all have very different atmospheres – of course you still have the required dental equipment, but it’s a nice touch!
Ora Dentistry Spa partners with an actual spa in Beverly Hills to as they say “spend your sedentary time wisely”
You can choose a number of options while you are getting your teeth looked at, including foot, hand, neck and shoulder massage, eyebrow waxing (although that might not be too relaxing!), and aromatherapy.
You can also watch DVD’s with noise-cancelling headphones to distract yourself from what’s going on around you — those damn drills can be so distracting.
Technology Meets Tranquility
I opted to get a whitening treatment since, as Dr. Saleh said, I have porous teeth and they tend to absorb any enamel discoloration. I’m lucky since I don’t drink a lot of coffee, which stains your teeth, but I do drink tea.
I got to do the ZOOM teeth whitening, which is a revolutionary new way to whiten your teeth that Dr. Saleh has adopted. It uses a laser machine to quicken the process, and depending on how much teeth disoloration, can take as little as 20-40 minutes. I had two cycles of 20 minutes on my teeth and when I was done, the change was phenomenal. I was so impressed by this machine and even two weeks later my teeth are still super white.
It’s not an uncomfortable process, but it’s not the most comfortable either. You have your mouth forced open the entire time, and your lips stretched wide, although Dr. Saleh puts some moisturizer on them for ultimate comfort. But that’s where the spa comes in!
I had a whitening once before at another dental office a couple years ago with a similar technology and it was torture! I felt like I was sitting there forever and my mouth ached so much while it was being done. During the procedure with Dr. Saleh, I had a foot and hand massage at the same time — talk about distraction. I seriously thought I was in the chair for 10 minutes before the whole thing was done!
I must admit, he won me over! If you’re going to make that semi-yearly or yearly trip to the dentist, do it in style! You deserve it.
