Dental office design.
Dental office design affects many aspects of dental practice often not realized or understood by the practitioner. These range from efficient operatory layout and equipment selection to lighting, effective appointment and business area design, and increased case acceptance. Although a major portion of the material presented in the area of office design is empirical and subjective in nature, there is a large enough body of information to suggest the need for dentists to consider strongly the opinions reviewed here. The financial investment required in achieving a new office or remodeling an existing one must be considered. The effective use of design professionals, ie, architects and interior designers, in planning and executing a project is also discussed in the literature reviewed.
