Abstract

Everyone likes to feel important & hence pampering patients seems to be a good idea. Women keep their appointments at the salon as they cancel visits in the dental office because they like to be pampered. A great idea is to turn our dental offices into "dental spas?"It turns out that making the dental office more spa-like is not an idea immediately embraced by every dentist. Is the dental spa a growing trend we should all heed? Or is it like a cancer, adding to overheads and causing dentists to lose focus on what's really important? This article is an attempt to help you decide how to position and enhance your own practice.
