Dreamtime Dental's dentists, oral surgeons, and hygienists aim to alleviate their patients' nerves and worries by proffering free, optional laughing gas to bolster their full roster of general and cosmetic dental services. They can waft the calming vapors during root canals, wisdom-teeth removal, or cosmetic services such as teeth whitening and dental implants. To further fortify oral beauty, they can arrange sleek smiles with ClearCorrect invisible braces or paint the Mona Lisa onto incisors.

Licensed chiropractor and acupuncturist Robert W. Ferguson starts each of his treatments with a simple goal: to exceed expectations. This goal has remained the driving force behind his work throughout a career that spans two decades, and it has left its mark on his practice at Chiropractic Therapeutics & Rehabilitation. With his patients in mind, Dr. Ferguson built the practice around knowledgeable staffers, up-to-date medical technologies, and a menu of safe, effective services. His noninvasive treatments—which range from acupuncture to auricular therapy, or ear reflexology—work to relieve pain that results from day-to-day activities, such as typing on computers and angrily hurling computers out the window.

Fitness Now's founder Tiffany Wheatley draws from more than 12 years of professional fitness experience and extensive certification to customize each workout and regimen to each customer's individual needs. Sophisticated cardio and strength equipment hone and tone muscles, while certified personal trainers and nutritionists fashion individual exercise and diet packages. Guests sweat to glory in the supportive atmosphere of group classes such as spin sessions or Pilates and yoga courses, which aim to unite mind and body during core-boosting workouts, like doing sit-ups in a sensory-depravation tank.

To help women achieve their fitness goals, the certified personal trainers at Get in Shape for Women focus on four areas: weight training, cardio training, nutrition, and accountability. Each of their small-group sessions are tailored to each exerciser. The trainers modify exercises to suit up to four ladies' fitness levels, beginning by calibrating 30 minutes of strength-training drills—such as free weights, lunges, and squats—to each student's abilities. Then, they do 25 minutes of cardio—the trainers might start beginners with a walk on the treadmill or light elliptical training, and challenge more advanced exercisers to high-intensity interval-training sessions for increased results.

The trainers supplement group workouts with nutritional planning centered around the concept of eating six small, balanced meals six days a week. They set aside the seventh day for a bit of indulgence, be it eating a favorite sweet or lusting openly after bacon. To track ladies' progress toward reaching their goals, the trainers measure their weight and body-fat percentage every two weeks.

As the baby yawns and wiggles his or her fingers, a chorus of coos fills the room. As she peeks in on her child months before his or her birth, the mother-to-be points out similarities between her own nose and the tiny one that's displayed in the 3-D image onscreen. The technician smiles and moves the ultrasound device to reveal a more complete view of the baby's face as family and friends look on.

Precious Peek 4D Ultrasound hosts these seemingly miraculous occurrences five days a week. With scanning technology similar to that of traditional 2-D ultrasounds, the staff can give eager parents a real-time 3-D glimpse of their babies. They preserve records of the session with photographs in a variety of packages, which range in complexity from 2-D pictures that disclose the child's gender to bundles that include CDs, DVDs, and a press-conference reporter to jot down the baby's first statement. Based on the expectant mom's due date, a Peek Calendar determines the optimum time for an appointment, during which up to 12 guests can gather to view the images as they are projected theater-style.

Drs. Terri Hawkins-Fox and Tiffany Adams use their PhDs to help guide clients down the path to wellness. Assisted by Dr. Adams’s daughter, Adriana—an ambitious 5-year-old who may one day take over the company—the doctors treat patients with natural and homeopathic treatments perfected over four generations of holistic-medicine practice. Colon-hydrotherapy sessions help purify the body of built-up wastes, whereas total-body-rejuvenation therapy employs the optical sensors of the Interactive Health RMS Elite Robotic Massage system to help relieve pain, soothe stiff shoulders, and ease lower-back tension incurred from slow dancing with concrete blocks. The doctors also induce wellness via ionic foot-detox baths, lymph drainage, and bio-communication testing—the practice of sending small stressors through the body, analyzing the body’s response times, and comparing it to a normal body’s score.
