Our next category is the cosmetic dental spa. This type may or may not include the atmospheric dental spa services, but it deals more with cosmetic upgrades or changes like the following:

• full mouth reconstruction;
• porcelain veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns;
• tooth replacement therapy;
• implants, and bridges;
• dental hygiene;
• root canal therapy;
• invisible braces installation;
• and teeth whitening.

The last service, teeth whitening, seems to be the most sought after from the list. This process involves processing bleach to remove stains, in tandem with special light to activate the bleaching solution in the teeth. As much as the dentists would like to whiten all the smiles in the world, there is a limit depending on how dark one’s teeth really are. According to one of them, “After a certain point, all the pigments that are going to break down have been broken down.” So don’t be disappointed when you don’t get that shiny white teeth after the procedure, the dentists have done all they can.

Eventhough dental spa seems to be a good thing for the dentistry occupation, some are apprehensive in joining the bandwagon.

According to some dentists, they were worried that the profession might be in jeopardy because these dental spas may be looking for cheap ways to attract new patients. Another cause for concern are the insurance reimbursements as these “extra” services are not covered.

Almost all agree though that the spa can come to the dentist but the dentist will never go to a spa. First, it would be expensive for a dentist to become a resident in a spa as he will require specialized equipment to do the job properly. Another reason would be that there would be liability issues.

Before we start with the last dental spa category, let’s do a bit of a recap on the previous two: the atmospheric type deals more with putting you in the mood by manipulating the environment around you. The cosmetic type deals more with how to make your teeth look better.

The last dental spa category is the holistic one. This may or may not include one or a combination of the previous categories. It is considered to be the top of the pyramid when it comes to dental spa. The dentists in this category not only helps you in cleaning your teeth or taking out a damaged one, but they also check you for possible symptoms for other diseases. It may or may not be related to the mouth. Examples are: gum disease as a marker for heart disease, periodental disease a symptom for diabetes, etc.

The dentists cannot heal or alleviate the disease but at least they can give you clues and suggests patients to get appropriate help.
