This new 6,500sf pediatric dental practice is designed to offer an engaging and child-friendly experience, with 12 operatories and support spaces tailored to the client’s specific patient flow needs on a one-acre site.

To create a fun atmosphere for young patients, the facility features public and staging areas complete with animatronics and digital arcade games. After treatment, patients can engage in a digital shooting gallery to showcase their gaming skills and earn rewards, reinforcing a positive experience. In contrast with colorful graphics marking the patient pathway, the remaining clinical area and operatory finishes have been kept neutral and calming to ensure a serene environment for both patients and staff.

A standout feature of the practice is the inclusion of private “pre-op” spaces, where patients and their families can comfortably prepare for treatment. These spaces are centrally located within the facility for ease of access. For younger patients, pediatric benches replace traditional dental chairs, offering a more comfortable patient-dentist interaction.

The sterilization areas are expansive and thoughtfully designed to align with the client’s detailed setup protocols. These areas efficiently manage the processing of instruments and consumables, ensuring that they are packaged and delivered to the appropriate treatment rooms in an organized manner.

Big Smiles Ranch doubled their practice production within the first four years of occupying the new facility.
