Scared of the Dentist? Here’s How We Make It Feel Like a Spa Day
Dental anxiety is real, and we’re here to change that. At Smooch Dental Spa, we believe visiting the dentist should feel as calming and restorative as a day at the spa. If you’ve ever postponed dental treatment because of fear or past experiences, you’re not alone. That’s why we’ve reimagined dental care for people just like you.
From the moment you walk through our doors in Ravenswood, North Canterbury, you’ll notice things feel different. We’ve created an experience that blends modern dentistry with spa-like serenity—because your comfort matters just as much as your oral health.
Why People Are Afraid of the Dentist
Dental fear affects 1 in 6 adults, and it can stem from:
Past painful experiences
Sensitivity to sounds, smells, or sensations
Feeling out of control in the chair
Embarrassment about your teeth
At Smooch Dental Spa, we’ve designed everything, from the environment to the procedures, to ease these worries and help you feel safe and supported.
A Dental Visit That Feels Like Self-Care
Here’s how we transform a dental appointment into a spa-inspired experience:
🌿 A Soothing, Sensory Environment
Soft lighting, calming scents, and gentle music set the tone. You won’t find harsh lights or sterile white walls here. It’s more lounge than clinic.
💆♀️ Comfort-First Amenities
Noise-cancelling headphones
Aromatherapy & essential oils
It’s the little things that make a big difference in reducing stress and creating a sense of calm.
🧠 Mindful, Gentle Dentistry
Our clinicians—including Dr. Touraj Nejatian, PhD in Restorative Dentistry—take a gentle, preventive-first approach. We talk you through every step and never rush. If you need breaks, we stop. If you need reassurance, we listen.
💬 Open, Judgment-Free Conversations
We’ve heard it all before, there’s no need to feel embarrassed. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’re here to help you take the next step toward better oral health.
Technology That Reduces Discomfort
We invest in cutting-edge digital dentistry tools to make your visit smoother:
Intraoral scanners (no messy impressions)
Low-radiation digital X-rays
Minimally invasive techniques
Advanced pain management options
All designed to minimise discomfort and speed up healing.
Designed for People Who Hate the Dentist
Our patients often say:
“I forgot I was at the dentist—it felt more like a day spa.”“I used to panic before appointments. Now I look forward to them.”“I wish I had found you years ago.”
This is exactly why we created Smooch Dental Spa.
