The design of this new 6,000sf dental facility is a perfect blend of functionality and patient comfort. By integrating ten dual-entry open operatories and two privatized “quiet” operatories, the layout ensures that the space is both efficient and flexible, catering to various patient needs while maintaining a calming atmosphere.

The cathedral ceiling in the waiting area and the abundance of natural light throughout the clinical spaces make the entire facility feel more spacious and inviting. The integration of repurposed cherry veneer cabinetry within a more neutral and relaxing palette conformed to the owner’s desire to economically create a new space while incorporating a portion of their existing dental equipment and dental furniture.

The decision to incorporate a separate digital lab alongside a standard one showcases the practice’s forward-thinking approach, embracing dental technology that can improve both the patient experience and quality of care delivered.

Selecting a central, more visible location with separate parking for patients and staff was a strategic win for the practice. The site layout is optimized for both accessibility and efficiency, while the building footprint was maximized to future-proof the facility for growth. Impressively, the new practice facility has seen strong patient attraction, averaging 100 new patients per month in just the first year!
