Dental Spa

I have lived all over the US and this is by far the best dental practice i have ever been to! 6^th Star!

Great place. Comfortable, relaxing environment for the not so fun visit to the dentist. Great idea of applying the the spa sense of space with a dental office. Calming music, video screens of natural beauty, water flowing and gardens. All the latest technology in dentistry. No hassle or trying to sell you extra services that you don’t need.

Best dental experience EVER! I kid not. And who’s a fan of the dentist, period? I wish I’d started seeing Dr. Watanabe years ago… it really is a spa atmosphere, with such a pleasant experience. My friend had referred me to her as I wanted someone more holistic than conventional, and I was treated to such comfort, care, and attention. I don’t know how much positive I could say about here — I was offered a foot massage to keep me relaxed while my teeth were being cleaned! Need i say more? I highly recommend Dr. Watanabe!

Amazing Dentist!!! Went in expecting to spend a thousand dollars or more for a crown
and the dr actually talked me out of it. When she mentioned I would need a little numbing medicine I got that sick feeling in my stomach. I hate shots!!! No shot here.
I am still trying to figure out what she did but after a minute I was numb with no real shot! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

All of my life my father has been my dentist. You can imagine how nervous I was to visit another dentist for the first time in my life (he’s back east in New Jersey). A good friend had recommended Dr. Lynn Wantanabe knowing my fears would be soothed with her. I was also promised very high tech. instruments to make the experience as pain free as possible. Finally after needing a cleaning for quite some time I went to visit Dr. Wantanabe. First impression: The office smelled amazing (my dad’s place smelled more like dentist, no offense dad). It looked like a spa more than a dental office; already I was relaxed. The receptionist was lovely; asking all the questions clearly and walking me through most of the check in process. The doctor took me in within minutes of my scheduled appointment, a huge relief knowing I’d be out on time to get back to my office.
I gave her my reasons for postponements along with discussing my current dental issues. She simply smiled and said she would take good care of me. The assistant places a warm neck band to relax my neck; which honestly seems brilliant now that I’ve experienced that. It was a like a warm relaxing hug around my neck while the doctor worked. She explained each procesure before performing it and soothing music played in the background. To be honest, I almost fell asleep while Dr. Watanabe cleaned away all the build I had let go too long without attention. She was extremely detailed with each tooth and careful not to cause much discomfort. She used a neat ultrasonic machine to loosen all the plaque before removing it, which seemed to ease the work later on. She also cleaned my tongue and applied a lip treatment (pretty smart since lips can get cracked during dental procedures). Bonus a hand or foot massage was offered during my cleaning, I declined since I was already pretty relaxed by the great aroma, music and neck hug.
Before I left the doctor’s office, she give me some tips on cleaning my teeth along with a gift bag. I walked out feeling like I had just been to a spa. How many people can say that about the dentist? And it wasn’t that my teeth were in amazing condition, she definitely had to do some work… it was all the extra care and attention that allowed me to trust her. I feel totally positive that my dad might have some serious competition. Hopefully he won’t be reading this. If you’re looking for a wonderful experience at the dentist trust the staff and doctor at Dental Spa. I for one will spread the word. Thanks Dr. Watanabe.

Unilocal can I give The Dental Spa 6 Stars just this once??? CAN I PLEASE???
This really should be a 6 star review.
I can’t say enough amazing things about the visionary and brilliant Dr. Watanabe. I’m stressed & work near Downtown. I put in 50 hour weeks like a boss and hate going to the dentist with a passion!
I came into the Dental Spa not knowing what to expect. I left a new man! The concept of a relaxing, clean, high tech dentist office is unbelievably cool. I can’t believe I just had a routine cleaning and they offered me a foot or hand massage! IT WAS INCREDIBLE! This place is wonderful for dental chickens and masters of pain alike.
Here’s the skinny…
PROS:
Fantastic central and accessible location
Professional demeanor, The Doc really knows her stuff and doesn’t find things wrong with you just to make a buck. She’s an honest and brilliant doctor. So lucky to have had the pleasure of coming in and I look forward to coming in for another cleaning soon!
Amazingly nice and compassionate staff
Super High Tech equipment
Skilled massage while they work makes you feel fantastic!
Easy Parking (Not sure if they validate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do)
CONS:
Honestly it’s hard to find ANYTHING wrong with this practice but if I had to find a couple things wrong, here’s what i’d say but I doubt any of these things are in their control.
A great deal of paperwork to start but I bet they have to do that for liability purposes
Hard to get an appointment at first, but they called me the next day to schedule me in ASAP
Tight space while you’re waiting in the chair my size 15 shoes blocked the way a bit
Synopsis:
At the end of the day, Dental Spa could be one of the greatest dental experiences I’ve ever had and if you are lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Watanabe I would highly recommend her and her brilliant staff! Now if you’ll please excuse me, I’m off to drink soda and eat candy so I can get some cavities and have a reason to come back before my next cleaning!!!
THANKS DENTAL SPA!

Had my first cleaning appt at this office today.
Pros: Dr. Watanabe was very friendly, without the ego a lot of other doctors seem to carry, and she seemed knowledgable and competant. I was impressed with the initial patient intake/​exam she did.
Cons: Had to wait 25 mins (minus the time filling out paperwork, let’s call it 15) which is odd since I had the first am appt and wasn’t sure why they just weren’t ready to take me. Also, the hand massage was sub par, but hey, who else offers a hot towel and hand massage with dental work in the first place?
Stay tuned to see how future visits go — after reading the one star review about not being able to read x-​rays, I’m a little scared… but I’m willing to give Dr. Lynn another chance because I did really like her skills and ‘bedside manner’ today.

wish i could rate zero stars!
her teeth cleaning is quick and painless because she doesn’t do anything!
i went for a check up and cleaning…
spent most of my time waiting… cleaning took less than 5 minutes top!
she just poked around and did a little scraping… no polishing… nothing.
offered a foot massage… but later said sorry too busy for foot massage.
worst part is she could not even read her x-​rays!
she told me i needed to see a dental surgeon and gave me the info for one.
i asked more questions and she would not say anything till finally said i would probably need dental implants or root canals on my 4 front lower teeth… maybe more!
or course i had more questions and she said she could not answer them…
a great set up to get me worried huh?!
well here it is over a year later and i went and saw a qualified dentist in bev hills…
there is NOTHING wrong with my teeth!
so, lynne gave me bad service, bad advice and pretty much wasted my time and money!
gotta say… i would not trust her and go somewhere else if you can.

Lynn Watanabe is an amazing and gentle dentist. The cleanings are done by her and are so quick and painless you can’t even believe it. She doesn’t upsell and is very knowledgeable. All her equipment is the latest technology. On my first visit I even got a warm towel and hand massage during my cleaning.
This is the only dental experience I’ve had in my life that I didn’t completely dread going to. I live out of town now and still go back for my cleanings.
