New Digital Music Service Designed Just For Dental Practices
Boulder, CO – Dental offices now have a better alternative for their in-office music. Custom Channels, a company that creates custom on-line and on-premise radio stations for nationally known brands, has launched Smile Radio – a music service specifically designed for dental practices.

Smile Radio includes multiple channels of professionally programmed, continuously updated music handpicked to enhance the sound and atmosphere of dental offices. Smile Radio channels are broadcast directly to dental practices via the Internet and received on a specially designed streaming receiver.

Custom Channels’ co-president Dave Rahn said, “A number of my dentist friends really had a hard time finding a good music solution for their dental office. Many used FM or satellite radio, or their own iPods or CDs – but found each had serious drawbacks. We created Smile Radio to address their concerns about lack of variety, song repetition, inappropriate songs, commercials and interruptions.”

Dr. Anil Idiculla of Park Meadows Orthodontics in Denver said, “The power of music is highly underrated in today’s offices. It affects your patients, your team members, and more importantly, your daily productivity. With the numerous choices of music options out there already, it can be very overwhelming to decide what the best option is to achieve this goal. Smile Radio is the total package… current music, extensive playlists, and customization. It can take your office to the next level.”

Founded by 30-year broadcast radio veterans Dave Rahn and John Bradley, Custom Channels creates and manages custom music channels for local and national brands including Floyd’s 99 Barbershops, Whole Foods Market, Bonnaroo Music Festival, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Cost Plus World Market, Clearwire, and numerous broadcast radio stations. Smile Radio is the company’s entrée into providing specialized music channels designed for the dental and medical professions.

Smile Radio costs $39.95 per month and includes all required ASCAP, BMI and SESAC music performance licenses. A 30-day risk free trial is offered to customers who sign up through their website at http://www.smile-radio.com. Dentists can preview all the music channels on the Smile Radio website.

    I use an Ipods for my office music. There are many free and cheap applications available for this and the patients can control the music selections if they wish. It also is a conversation starter. They almost always comment on the different applications available for music-Pandora, AOL Radio, XM radio, The Ipod itselfl Occasionally some of the applications have an inactivity ‘timeout’ that is annoying.
