Your Smile Deserves More Than Just Basic Care

At Sola Dental Spa, we believe general dentistry should be comprehensive, comfortable, and convenient. That's why we've reimagined what a dental visit can be.

Why General Dentistry Matters

Regular dental care isn't just about clean teeth – it's about preventing serious health issues before they start. Research shows that oral health is directly connected to overall health, with links to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory conditions.

At Sola Dental Spa, Dr. Anne Gershkowitz and her team provide comprehensive preventive care that goes beyond the basics. We use advanced diagnostic technology to catch problems early, when they're easiest and most affordable to treat.

But what truly sets us apart is the experience. While other Staten Island dental offices focus solely on your teeth, we care for your whole wellbeing. Every appointment includes luxury spa amenities designed to make your visit something you actually look forward to.

The Sola Dental Spa Difference

We're Staten Island's only dental spa, combining expert general dentistry with genuine luxury amenities. This isn't just marketing – every patient receives complimentary spa services with every visit:

  • Lavender paraffin hand treatments that soothe while we work
  • Aromatherapy to create a calming environment
  • Heated neck pillows for ultimate comfort
  • Massage chairs during longer procedures

This unique approach has made us Staten Island's **highest-rated dental practice**, with 298 five-star reviews and counting. Our patients tell us they've overcome decades of dental anxiety thanks to our spa-focused approach.

Prevention is Key

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your Comprehensive Exam

When you visit Sola Dental Spa for a general dental exam, you're getting far more than a quick check-up. Dr. Gershkowitz performs a thorough evaluation that includes:

  • Visual Examination: Careful inspection of all teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of decay, disease, or abnormalities
  • Digital X-Rays: Low-radiation imaging to detect issues beneath the surface that aren't visible to the naked eye
  • Oral Cancer Screening: Systematic examination of mouth, throat, and neck tissues for early detection
  • Bite Analysis: Assessment of how your teeth come together to identify potential TMJ issues
  • Gum Health Evaluation: Measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of periodontal disease

We use intraoral cameras to show you exactly what we see, helping you understand your oral health and make informed decisions about treatment.

Professional Cleaning Process

Our dental hygienists are experts at removing plaque and tartar while making the experience comfortable. Here's what happens during your cleaning:

  • Scaling: Careful removal of plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline using ultrasonic tools
  • Polishing: Smoothing tooth surfaces and removing surface stains for a brighter smile
  • Flossing: Professional flossing to remove debris between teeth and along the gumline
  • Fluoride Treatment: Optional fluoride application to strengthen enamel and prevent decay

The Spa Experience During Your Cleaning

While we care for your teeth, you'll enjoy a lavender paraffin hand treatment, heated neck pillow, and your choice of music or Netflix. Many patients tell us they actually **relax during their cleanings** – something they never thought possible!
