Why Our Patients Stay
Why Choose Our Team in Covington, KY
Small practice, real continuity, and two different kinds of clinical training
Most med spas are staffed by aestheticians and injectors alone. This one started inside a dental practice, and that changes what can be treated under one roof. A dentist spends a career in the muscles of the face, the jaw joint and the airway. A board-certified nurse practitioner with advanced aesthetic training brings acute care rigor to the skin. Put the two together and a patient with morning jaw ache, a snoring complaint and concerns about fine lines does not need three referrals.
Dentist-Founded Aesthetics
Dr. Applegate has worked in facial and jaw anatomy since 1993, so TMJ and jaw pain in Covington, KY and snoring get assessed alongside your skin, not sent elsewhere.
Nurse Practitioner Delivered Care
Elizabeth Taylor is a board-certified nurse practitioner who built her career in acute care medicine before completing advanced aesthetic training through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.
Training That Keeps Going
Membership in the American Dental Association and advanced aesthetics training with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics keep both providers current.
Two Providers, Not a Rotation
You see the same person from your first consultation through your last session, which matters when results build over a course of eight treatments rather than one.
Top Dentist Four Years Running
Dr. Applegate has been named a Cincinnati Magazine Top Dentist four consecutive years, and he founded the med spa side of the practice in July 2024.
4.9 From 771 Google Reviews
Patients across Covington, Newport, Fort Mitchell and Park Hills keep the practice at 4.9 stars, which is what a small team is able to protect.
