Step into a world where advanced dental care meets unparalleled comfort.
For many, a dental visit is associated with clinical smells, sterile rooms, and a sense of anxiety. At Incredible Smiles, we are dedicated to transforming that perception. Our Boulder practice was designed from the ground up to be a sanctuary—a place where state-of-the-art dentistry is delivered in a tranquil, spa-like environment. We believe that when you are relaxed and comfortable, you are more receptive to care, and the results of your treatments are enhanced. This is dentistry reimagined, where your well-being is the centerpiece of everything we do.
Redefining the Dental Visit: The Power of Patient Comfort
The concept of spa-like dentistry is not merely about luxury; it’s about better health outcomes. Research and experience show that a relaxed patient experiences less discomfort and anxiety. This creates a positive feedback loop: you feel more comfortable seeking regular care, which prevents complex issues down the road. Our commitment to comfort is a commitment to your long-term oral and overall health.
By consciously removing common triggers of dental anxiety—like clinical noises, scents, and visuals—we create a space where our expert team can focus on the art and science of your smile. From a routine cleaning to a complete full mouth reconstruction, your-calm state allows for more precise and effective treatment.
A Virtual Journey Through Our Practice
Your Arrival: A Calming Welcome
From the moment you step into our Boulder office, the difference is palpable. Instead of the antiseptic smell often associated with dental clinics, you’ll be greeted by soothing scents from carefully selected aromatherapy oils, which studies suggest can significantly reduce patient anxiety. The ambiance is one of calm, with soft lighting and comfortable furnishings that feel more like a high-end lounge than a waiting room. We invite you to relax and enjoy our welcoming atmosphere before your appointment begins.
The Treatment Suite: Your Private Oasis
Your care takes place in a private suite designed for ultimate relaxation. Settle into a comfortable, ergonomic chair and let us pamper you with amenities designed to soothe your senses. We offer paraffin hand treatments, which use warm wax to soften skin, improve blood flow, and relax muscles. Warm, aromatherapy-infused towels and noise-cancelling headphones help transport you to a state of tranquility while our team provides gentle, attentive care. This focus on a positive sensory experience helps ensure your visit is stress-free.
Did You Know?
- The scent of lavender has been clinically shown to be an effective, on-the-spot remedy for reducing anxiety in patients waiting for dental appointments.
- Paraffin wax acts as a form of heat therapy, which can increase circulation, decrease joint stiffness, and minimize muscle spasms, making it both a cosmetic and therapeutic treatment.
- A positive, comfortable dental environment not only reduces fear but also improves patient-dentist communication, leading to better-tailored treatment plans and more successful outcomes.
The Intersection of Art, Science, and Serenity
Creating a beautiful, healthy smile is an act that masterfully blends science and creativity. Our spa-like setting is the ideal canvas for this work. When you are fully relaxed, our dentists, Dr. Priya Uppal and Dr. Lori Kemmet, can perform their best work. This is especially true for intricate procedures like porcelain veneers, dental implants, or smile makeovers.
Our practice is equipped with advanced technology such as 3D cone-beam imaging and dental lasers, which enhance precision while minimizing invasiveness and recovery time. This technological high-touch approach is a core part of our mission, but we also believe in a holistic, whole-body philosophy. We practice physiologic dentistry, an approach that focuses on the harmony between your jaw joints, muscles, and bite to ensure long-term stability and health. This comprehensive view allows us to treat underlying issues, from TMJ discomfort to sleep apnea, not just their symptoms.
A Local Retreat for Boulder Residents
Living in Boulder means appreciating a lifestyle centered on wellness, nature, and holistic health. We believe your dental care should align with those values. Incredible Smiles is proud to offer a dental experience that feels less like a clinical necessity and more like an act of self-care. We are a sanctuary where Boulder residents can achieve their smile goals while feeling cared for, respected, and completely at ease.

This includes aromatherapy, private treatment suites, relaxing music, paraffin hand treatments, and warm towels. The goal is to engage all senses in a positive way to eliminate the common stressors of a traditional dental office.
I have significant dental anxiety. How can you help me?
We specialize in caring for patients with dental anxiety. Our entire environment is designed to be calming, and our team is trained to be gentle and communicative. Beyond our spa amenities, we discuss all procedures thoroughly and offer sedation options to ensure you are completely comfortable and at ease during your treatment.
Are these comfort amenities available for all appointments?
Yes. We believe every patient deserves to be comfortable, regardless of the procedure. Whether you are visiting us for a comprehensive smile makeover or a routine teeth cleaning, our comfort-focused amenities are an integral part of your experience at Incredible Smiles.
How does a relaxed state improve my dental treatment results?
When you are relaxed, your muscles are less tense, which allows for more accurate bite assessments and impressions. It also enables our dentists to perform procedures with greater precision. For cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding, a calm patient experience is key to achieving seamless, natural-looking aesthetic results.
