Preferred Dental Care: Getting Pampered - At the Dentist!

   By: Robert D. Thomson

For men and women who don't receive regular dental exams, the thought of going to the dentist may bring up memories of the piercing sound of a drill, images of torturous exam chairs, and the suffocating sensation of an x-ray's protective leaden blanket. For those who do, keeping a dental appointment often means endless waiting room delays, abandonment in the exam room, and inexplicable poking with sharp instruments - in all, a burdensome and annoying encounter.

But both scenarios are changing, thanks to pioneers like Dr. Shilpa Trivedi and her colleagues at Preferred Dental Care (www.PreferredDentalCare.net) in Flushing, NY. With the maxim, "We care for people, not just the teeth," Dr. Trivedi and her team are transforming the drudgery of a dental appointment into something more like to a journey to the spa. "While we offer a full range of dental services under one roof, our emphasis is on more than one-stop dental care," says Dr. Trivedi. "We want our patients to feel soothed and at home, as though they are coming to spend time with friends."

This definitely isn't your grandmother's dentist. With a gorgeous aquarium, fresh flowers, striking paintings, soulful music, and delicious refreshments, Preferred Dental Care emphasizes patient relaxation. Beautiful leather chairs take center stage in the exam rooms, alongside televisions, computers, and state-of-the-art dental equipment. "Our upscale, modern office is a reflection of our professional commitment to stay on the leading edge of dentistry," says Dr. Trivedi. Indeed, she and her colleagues have an average of six years of dental education - two more than most dentists - and a cumulative total of over 70 years of dental experience.

In this era of ultra-specialization, Preferred Dental Care also stands apart for offering total dental care. "Our patients shouldn't have to travel from specialist to specialist to get the care they need," says Dr. Trivedi. While the practice includes general dentists and dental hygienists, it also has an orthodontist who can treat patients who need braces, an implant dentist, an oral surgeon, a periodontist who can help patients who have gum disease, and a prosthodontist who can help patients who needs dentures and crowns. With an on-site laboratory, Dr. Trivedi's team can even provide patients with dentures in 24 hours. "Whether patients want to come in for a quick lunch-hour whitening treatment or need extensive smile makeovers, we're well-equipped to serve them," she says.

While Preferred Dental Care welcomes those who need extensive dental work, the practice emphasizes prevention. "Our core belief is that patient education and prevention are as important as treatment," says Dr. Trivedi. "We want to make our community healthy, which is why we offer free consultations and examinations, as well as educational videos for patients to watch during their procedures."

In Dr. Trivedi's experience, most people put off routine dental care because they don't feel they have a problem. "Unfortunately, that misses the point. If you come in every six months for a dental visit, you won't reach the stage where you have a problem," she says. "You go for manicures, for pedicures, and to get your hair done. Having your teeth professionally cleaned is another facet of self-care that makes you feel and look your best." With the spa-like amenities at Preferred Dental Care, there's barely a gap between a mani-pedi and a semi-annual cleaning. Indeed, it's a all-in-one service center and "home away from home" for all of your dental needs.
