WELNOX Studio

WELNOX Studio describes itself as a dental and facial wellness practice on Sansom Street.

The facial esthetics menu includes Botox and Xeomin, given by licensed professionals with the number of units set by the size of the area and the result wanted. Dermal fillers are offered for the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, hands and other areas, Kybella targets fat under the chin and along the neck, and SkinVive, an injectable from JUVÉDERM, is aimed at skin moisture and cheek smoothness.

A wellness menu adds IV therapy, which delivers vitamins, minerals and hydration straight into the bloodstream in formulas named WELNOX IV Formula, Energy Boost, Inner Beauty, Immunity Boost and Recovery. Nutrition services are tailored to each person's goals, challenges and lifestyle and include counseling, fitness nutrition, oral health nutrition education, fitness assessments, written workout programs and diabetes management.

The In-House Smart Dental Plan is the studio's membership-style option. It carries an annual fee of $299, which the practice says saves $250 against regular cost. Each year it covers up to two exams, up to two cleanings (absent periodontal disease) and one set of X-rays at 100%, and it gives 10% off treatment. There are no monthly premiums, yearly maximums, deductibles or claim forms, and it starts right away. It cannot be combined with other discounts, coupons or dental insurance, treatment must be paid in full at the visit to receive the discount, and unused benefits are not refunded, credited or rolled over.

Appointments can be booked online at any time, and patients can be referred through a form on the website. Gift cards come in any amount and can be bought in studio, by phone or online, then mailed or emailed. They expire 12 months after purchase and cannot be exchanged for cash. The practice files insurance claims for patients but notes that patients are responsible for all charges. Payment is due at or before treatment, flexible payment plans are available, and cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.

Treatment is planned around the individual. Dental implants begin with 3D imaging to assess bone and plan placement, followed by a healing period and a final restoration. The practice describes its dental care as high quality yet affordable.
