Smile architects, Dr. Jeremy D. Kay, DMD and Dr. Nicole Deakins at The Dental Spa, survey each patient’s dental “properties” and design reconstructive blueprints, planning every detail of the treatment based on our artistic vision. This vision is then achieved through support from the highly experienced staff, technicians, and hygienists—ensuring every patient leaves with a smile more radiant than before. Leading with our passion for aesthetics and demanding the best at every turn for our patients, our innovative methods have transformed what is possible in aesthetics and successfully ushered dentistry into the luxury market.

To go to the dentist with cosmetic needs and leave with pearly white teeth is one thing, it's expected. Now, to go to a dental spa that has mastered not just the craft of dentistry but the internal workings of their office is another thing. To find out how Haute Beauty experts at The Dental Spa run a well-oiled machine beyond their years of experience, advanced technology and smiles, Haute Beauty asked them a few questions. Here's what they had to say:
Haute Beauty: How is The Dental Spa unique from others? Do you offer something to your patients that others don’t?
The Dental Spa: Our office is more boutique or niche than most. In today's world corporate offices are emerging every day or taking over smaller offices to create dental mills that are more for the bottom line of investors versus the traditional service and quality-oriented practitioners. We at the Dental Spa maintain our independence and our more intimate office feel due to our passion for the craft and our versatile training to be able to treat all sorts of needs.
HB: How do you ensure all employees at The Dental Spa have the same underlying passions?
DS: More so than anything else, our staff is a reflection of who we are. They are family and as such families generally have similar values. We have selected, or better yet we and the staff have mutually selected each other so we may perform this trade at its highest levels.
HB: What characteristics should a dentist have?
DS: Dentists have to wear many hats in order to run an office and treat patients, but important characteristics include compassion, empathy, leadership, confidence, intellect, problem-solving, and then hand skills.
HB: What is the most important thing in dentistry?
DS: The most important thing is to treat people in the manner they should be treated and to provide the best service we possibly can in a predictable fashion.
HB: When a patient comes in for a consultation, is there any specific step you’d like to highlight?
DS: The most important aspect is the connection and the conversation to understand what a patients' objectives are, whether for maintenance or for a full cosmetic/functional reconstruction and then to further be able to communicate how we may be able to achieve these goals together.
