Relaxation Techniques in Dentistry
Music is a universal language — it soothes, uplifts, and heals.
Unlike pharmacological methods, which require recovery time, limit daily functioning, and often increase the cost of dental procedures, cognitive-behavioral techniques such as music therapy and vibroacoustics work gently, naturally, and without side effects.
Relaxing Music – Your Personal Ally in the Dental Chair
These techniques help patients:
- Stay present and aware
- Remain in control
- Reduce stress levels
- Increase comfort and trust
- Facilitate the dental procedure
This approach respects both body and mind, helping patients transform fear into cooperation — making dental care a calmer, more positive experience.
Personalized Music Therapy
After an initial consultation and diagnostic examination, a personalized treatment plan is created.
At MUSICDENT, we believe every patient deserves to feel safe, calm, and relaxed.
Here, music is not just background noise — it’s an integral part of your therapeutic experience, enhancing comfort and emotional well-being during treatment.
The best music for relaxation?
The one you choose, tailored to your personal taste and current mood- as long as it has a gentle, relaxing character.
Our founder, Dr. Nikolina Petek Žugaj, guides patients in selecting the most suitable sounds and rhythms to support a sense of calm and security.
Listening to music before and during dental procedures has been proven to enhance relaxation, improve anesthetic response, and make treatments more comfortable and pleasant.
In our practice, we use music therapy – listening to calming music through headphones shortly before dental procedures as a simple and effective method.
Because your sense of safety and trust is just as important to us as any medical procedure.
Science, Emotion, and Control
Dr. Petek Žugaj — a visionary and pioneer in her field — was the first to scientifically validate the therapeutic potential of vibroacoustics in dentistry.
In her doctoral research, she applied vibroacoustic therapy to patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, achieving measurable results:
- Reduced fear and anxiety
- Greater relaxation
- Improved motivation to continue treatment
At MUSICDENT, you are not just a patient — you are a person with your own rhythm, emotions, and experiences.
Experience dentistry where your emotional comfort is valued as much as clinical excellence.
Vibroacoustic Therapy – Gentle Support You Can Feel
Whether you are a sensitive patient, a child, or simply someone who wants a more relaxing dental experience, vibroacoustic therapy provides safe and effective support.
This gentle yet powerful method uses low-frequency sound waves to promote deep physical and mental relaxation.
The therapy is administered via a special vibroacoustic cushion, placed under the legs or lower back, which delivers tailored vibrations for each patient.
The result is a pleasant, individualized experience that calms the body, reduces anxiety, and enhances comfort throughout any dental procedure.
