The overworked, worked-over and all-worked-up are on the rise. Industry research shows stress-relief as the impulse for spa visits across the globe. In America, one in four have been to a spa, representing more than 32 million active spa-goers.
As a result, industries beyond the spa are trying to find an "in" on this growing market of relief-seekers. North Valley Family Dentistry offers a healthy teeth-and-mind experience with warm neck towels, aromatherapy, pillows, iPod self-selected music, movies and more. After a checkup, clients can check-in with Lisa Beach of The Skin Care Studio—a micro-mini-spa within the office.
Dental patients—and non— receive facials, chemical exfoliation, body scrubs and waxing on a heated, over-sized, fully-adjustable table. "Some wonder why I am in a dental office, but when they come, they are like... 'Wow', " says the former Boulders Resort and Spa esthetician.

Professional Teeth Whitening
A brilliant smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening in our Lafayette office can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.
Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine contribute to the staining. Most of us are aware that smoking is not only bad for your lungs; it is an enemy to beautiful teeth. If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first decide which method to use. At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our clients. To schedule a consultation to talk about teeth whitening or any other dental procedure, call 303-665-5335.
At-home tooth whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to achieve barely noticeable results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in appearance of teeth.
Professional teeth whitening procedures performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that last far longer than other treatments.
All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have dental crowns, porcelain veneers or bonding, it is important to talk to your dentist before choosing a whitening method.
