Asia’s first dental spa
Thursday, 17 Feb 2005 10:55The cosmopolitan capital of Bangkok is home to Asia’s first dental spa offering aromatherapy and relaxing foot, body and head massage in an avant garde spa-style setting as part of the dental treatment package. Most patients shudder at there mere though of a visit to the dentist. Time spent in the waiting room is an anxious and traumatic experience. The monotone whirring and hum of the dentist’s drill typically heard in the waiting room heightens the element of fear as patients vividly “re-live” memories of their last session in the dentist’s chair.
A new generation of avant garde dental practitioners is working to change this by re-defining the ambience of dental clinics. In Bangkok, the Bangkok Dental Clinic has risen to the challenge of making visits to the dentists, a more pleasant experience. As visitors approach the reception area, the tranquil setting of the spa-style interior dècor helps nurture positive feelings.
Several elements work in tandem to quickly de-stress patients. The scent of therapeutic lavender and lemon grass essential oils drifts through the corridors and renders an instantly calming but uplifting effect. Moodscape music plays in the background. The calming effect of water, a naturalforce, is also harnessed for it’s tremendous healing effect on mind, body and spirit. The sound of flowing water has a subtle, hypnotic effect and is relaxing. Finally, the “healing touch” trough massage terapy completes the sensory “experience”.
The virtues of massage therapy are well-documented and it’s effectiveness is particularly visible and beneficial, pre-dental treatment. As massage therapists work their magic with their nimble fingers, gently kneading tense and knotted muscles, high-strung patients gradually feel the stress and tension melt away. Dental spa patients are therefor in a much better state of mind by the time they settle into the dentist’s chair. The dental spa is a welcome offering and is very well-recieved, particularly among patients who need to undergo extended courses of dental treatment spread over a week or a fortnight. In the last months, the Bangkok Dental Clinic has been welcoming a steady flow of patrons from aboard who travel to Bangkok for dental care and treatment. Catering to the individual needs of these long-haul VIP paients, the dental spa also offers massage therapy that relieves jet lag.
Massages are also offered post-treatment. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have had extensive dental work performed. Post-dental treatment massages ease stiffness and tension as a result of being in a fixed posture for a lengths time.
To date, Bangkok Dental Clinic has a proven track record and experience in providing superior dental care service to patients from abroad. This has inspired confidence in the dental spa clinic which is seeing an ever-increasing number of overseas visitors returning for cosmetic dentistry as well as standard treatment offered. The dental spa clinic also receives a significant number of referrals from existing patients, attesting to the clinic’s achievement of the highest international standards in dental care and treatment, on par with such services being offered in the United States, Europe and other renowned healthcare centers in the cosmopolitian capitals around the world, but without a doubt, more competitively priced and offering greater value for money.
