Starbase dental

Using that nifty little chat-like thing on the left, Josh has asked me to talk about Starbase Dental. I don’t have any first hand experiences with it (yet) but I do have some reports.

Have you seen the movie Trekkies? It’s a movie where they sort of make fun of Star Trek fans. In it they feature a dentist who has turned his office into, well, a Star Trek space adventure. The name of his office? Starbase Dental. And it turns out that it is 5 minutes away from my house!

Now, I haven’t had a chance to go there myself yet, but I do plan on it. In fact, maybe I’ll take my camera with me and if they let me, I’ll take some pictures. I was unable to find any pictures of the office anywhere. But when Ron was looking for a local dentist, I suggested Starbase Dental and he thought he’d give it a shot. I had him practice his Spock greeting and all.

Apparently they all used to wear Star Trek uniforms and fancy make up, unfortunately they don’t seem to do that anymore, which is disappointing in my opinion. But everything else is like what you’d think it’d be.

First, they greet you by saying “welcome aboard Starbase dental”. The cabinets and walls are, for what I hear, Star Trekish. There is Star Trek memorabilia everywhere you look. They only play Star Trek music. There are monitors all over the office showing Star Trek movies.

And that’s not all. For example, when they take an x-ray, the machine goes “engage! *beep* *bop*”

How could anyone NOT like stuff like that? I mean, if you are gonna have to go to the dentist, why not have fun with it?
