I am a patient of Dr Loung also. (Just started at the beginning of this year.) Normally I would run the other way from a place that has the word "spa" in it, on the assumption that it would be overpriced and gimmicky, but Dr. Loung took our insurance so I tried her.

I found out that the reason they call themselves a dental spa is because it is all about the comfort of the patient. I am "dentist phobic" too and this is the first time I have been able to have even a cleaning without using nitrous oxide. I don't know how they do it but everything is much more tolerable there. I have had two cleanings and two crowns this year with Dr. Luong. I'm very happy with the way my crowns fit. (Not so with some of the crowns I have had done in the past with my previous dentists up north.)

They make sure you are comfortable. Do you want a heated blanket? A neck pillow? One of those back massager pads while you are in the chair? After your procedure is over, they bring you a heated washcloth so you can wash off your face.

We just had open season with our healthcare so I asked them which plans they take. Here is the list: Ameritas, Principal, Cigna PPO, Delta Dental PPO & Premier, Guardian, Metlife, and United Healthcare.

Happy Holidays!
