VR Eases Patient Anxiety in Dr Mark Olson's Office

— October 21, 2019 — Tech
Virtual reality technology is elevating the traditional dentist experience. Located in Newport Beach, clients of Dr. Mark Olson will have the opportunity to enjoy tranquility on a simulated beach.

Whether its a check-up, a cleaning, to fill a cavity or another procedure, Dr. Mark Olson's practice employs the Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus, to alleviate the stress and anxiety many feel prior to a visit to the dentist. The immersive tool also comes as a milder alternative to sedatives as nausea is a common side effect. Through the employment of virtual reality, the dentist experience is truly transformed. The product is flexible as it boasts a headset and a slot, through which a Samsung smartphone can be inserted for the visuals.
