The dental practice was founded by Dr. Barry Applegate, who has practiced dentistry in Covington and greater Cincinnati since 1993. The med spa opened in July 2024 as an extension of the dental practice and is led by a nurse practitioner team. The practice serves patients from Covington, greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, and offers virtual consultations for people outside Covington.
A first dental visit includes a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays, with advanced imaging used to assess oral health before any treatment is recommended. The new patient special is $199 for the exam and X-rays, and a dental cleaning is not included. The practice says a relaxed patient receives more effective treatment, and its smile spa area offers heated massage chairs, warm paraffin hand treatments, blankets, hot coffee or tea and mood music.
The med spa's flagship treatment is Emface, a non-invasive facial lifting option from BTL that uses no needles and no incisions. Sessions take about 20 minutes with no recovery time, and most people complete a series of three to eight sessions at $500 per session. The price includes consultation, facial muscle mapping, baseline and progress photography, the sessions and a maintenance plan. The Covington location also houses a full BTL device suite that includes Exion and Emsculpt Neo, and Emface can be combined with those treatments under plans priced at consultation.
Dental options include same-day CEREC crowns, several dental implant styles, veneers and Lumineers, and laser treatments that the practice describes as drill-free and needle-free. The practice says it was chosen by Cincinnati Magazine as a Top Dentist four years in a row, and its website lists more than 830 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating. Patients can use insurance (the practice is in-network with Delta Dental and Dental Care Plus and accepts many other carriers), an in-house dental wellness savings plan, or CareCredit monthly payment plans.
The practice says relaxed patients get more out of treatment, so visits are built around comfort and individual planning. Med spa visits start with a conversation about the patient's goals, and each option is explained, including what it will and will not do.
