Waiting is just a part of life. We wait in line, wait for the bus, wait in traffic, and wait for the weekend. It’s not always fun - but sometimes, a business will do something special to make your wait just a little easier.
That’s what we’re highlighting today, in our review of dental offices that have gone above and beyond, and created waiting areas that are truly worth the wait. Forget about ancient magazines and elevator music: these dental waiting areas are unique, fun, and make your visit to the dentist much more enjoyable and relaxing. Kudos to these eight practices for really focusing on the patient experience!
