Open Wide

Dr. Melissa Leone’s Dental Spa

You were promised ice cream in exchange for your tonsils, given a puppy for a tetanus shot, and plied with pinot noir prior to a breakup.

It’s no wonder you’re wary of privilege before pain.

Let yourself be duped all over again at Dr. Melissa Leone’s chill new dental office, packed with spa amenities. Enjoy a cup of herbal tea followed by a complimentary hand or foot massage. Watch TV or listen to headphones. Finally, receive a neck or scalp massage, lip balm, and good-for-your-chompers chewing gum for being such a sport.

If you must get numbed, Leone provides a yogurt smoothie to tide you over until you can chew again.

Now you really have something to smile about.

And it’s not just the nitrous oxide.

Dr. Melissa Leone, 500 Aloha Street, suite c1 (206-352-5886 or leonedentist.com).
