Dental Spa.. A Unique New National Trend

Dental Spa's are one of the hottest new dental trends in the nation. The Spa Association recently reported that Medical Spa growth is up 143% in the last five years. One of the reasons for the growth… they work. Dental Economic Magazine and other trade sources say it is easier to encourage people to attend their dentist regularly by making their visit enjoyable at a Dental Spa. Island Dental Spa (/) on Anna Maria Island, one of the few Dental spa’s in the area, does just that. Since re-branding as the Island Dental Spa almost 4 year ago, the Island Dental Spa has experienced above-average growth.

The complete dental spa experience can be felt upon entering the dental spa and relaxing next to the 300 gallon fresh water fish tank. Patients are greeted with a Comfort Menu to choose from a wide variety refreshments and entertainment; including fresh muffins, juices, hot and cold drinks and a listing of music and TV selections. Some patients choose to relax with a glass of wine while waiting.

When entering the exam room the Registered Dental Hygienist, takes care of the patient's comfort needs first. The more popular comfort items are warm blankets, cool or warm eye masks and paraffin hand wax treatments. During their visit patients can also calm their nerves with video entertainment which includes watching DVD's or digital channels on personal video glasses or a flat screen TV. If the patient responds better to music, they can select their own variety from over 50 channels to enjoy with noise-reducing headphones.

To top off your relaxing visit, patients are sent home with a fresh smile, fresh chocolate chip cookies or a homemade smoothie in a specialized to-go cup.

Equally as important as the spa amenities is the technology and dental expertise provided by Dr. Gy Yatros of the Island Dental Spa. He offers state of the art technology as he was the first to offer CEREC 3 in the county, featuring 3 Dimensional imaging of a patient's mouth and single-visit crowns replacing the old standard method of 3-4 week multi-visit process.

In addition, Dr. Yatros has grown his expertise in smile makeovers, becoming one of the most well-known cosmetic dentists in the community. He has provided expert opinion on local television stations including NBC News Channel 8; ABC News Channel 7 and WB38. He thrives on combining a wide range of his dental capabilities to create whole new smiles for people who have little to nothing left of their teeth after years of neglect.
