When In Southwest Orlando, Visit Starbase Dental

Dentistry has long employed headphones and music for patients in order to ease dental chair anxiety, especially during prolonged or complex procedures. Some patients stopped visiting the dentist long ago, because of the time and discomfort involved. along with the requirements for tooth "homework" like flossing and brushing regularly and maintiaining a healthy diet.

In the 2010s, newer technologies speed dental processes and remove much or all of the pain formerly involved. In order to bring back patients and relax current clients and let them have a good times, one particular dental practice has adopted the themes of Star Trek® and Star Wars® in Florida. This is not the first American practice to have used poplar sci-fi themes, but it is the one to do so most elaborately.

Starbase Dental is so dedicated to the use of the Trek theme that it was featured in the popular documentary film Trekkies. Once in the chair for treatment, a patient can watch a Star Trek® or Star Wars® movie overhead from a television on the ceiling.

Starbase Dental has operated for approximately 17 years in 2010, beginning with Denis Bourguignon, D.M.D., who was in Trekkies. Upon his retirement, Dr. Sirivolu "took command." Both men enjoyed space themed movies and combined their hobbies to make for an interesting and well liked practice.

Starbase Dental is certainly different and has been featured in national publications, on HBO and even on the SyFy channel. The office appeared in Trekkies and is still equipped with collectibles: favorite action figures, mugs, autographed photos, model spacecraft, artwork, and the wonderful life-size stand-up cutouts of stars in costume.

Dr. Surendra Gopal Sirivolu, D.D.S.,M.H.A., is a certified Cosmetic and Family Dentist with extensive training and skills of over 20 years. He particularly specializes in dental implants that include Teeth-in-an-Hour™, Invisalign, and general cleaning. He does not work alone, but employes a well trained and credentialed team that also enjoys the Trek theme and their state-of-the-art technology on board the practice.

Patients come to this practice from Orlando and Metro West, the rest of Florida, across the USA and from other countries. This is a successful example of medical or dental tourism.

This practice offers a number of additional services: preventive care, tooth-colored porcelain fillings, crowns, veneers, tooth whitening, laser procedures, digital X-rays (reducew radiation), oral cancer screening, Teeth-in-an-Hour™ Dental Implants, Invisalign aligners, Gum Treatment and/or Bleaching, Gum and/or Bone Grafting, Lip Lowering, Makeovers, Sealants, and several others. Dr. Sirivolu's procedures will remind you of the advanced techniques we only dreamed about when we first saw them in the Star Trek® franchise.

The Doctor and crew attend additional training several times each year and post their experiences and special events on their own Facebook page (see links below). You will also be treated to a virtual tour of the Starbase Dental offices.
