Designing Your Ideal Dentistry Suite
Be purposeful
with a dedicated
space
Dedicated dentistry spaces better
support workflow standardization.
Your team can perform more efficiently
when everything you need for
comprehensive oral and radiographic
evaluations is in one area.
• One-Table Dentistry: In a one-table
configuration, 10 feet by 12 feet
of space is the ideal minimum.
Efficiency can be impeded and
safety compromised by squeezing
two tables into a small space.
• Two-Table Dentistry: Two
tables are optimal for performing
procedures simultaneously.
Minimally, a space that is 10 feet
by 21 feet allows at least 6 feet
between the two tables, creating
safety-related exposure to x-ray
radiation and aerosolized bacteria.
Support care
team comfort,
health and safety
When choosing equipment for your
dentistry space, talk to your account
manager about ergonomic equipment
and seating that properly aligns your
neck, spine, and hips to help reduce
muscular tension and fatigue.
• Tables: Adjustable-height wet or
dry tables are the best options
for dentistry to support optimal
ergonomic posture.
• Equipment Placement: Mounting
equipment to the wall, chase, or
ceiling frees floor space for greater
staff movement around the patient.
Intraoral radiography units, dental
delivery, anesthesia machines,
multiparameter monitors, and lights
can all be mounted.
Include your entire
team in training
opportunities
Everyone in your hospital has a role
to play. Investing in your team can
increase staff satisfaction, potentially
reducing turnover or minimizing
knowledge gaps if someone leaves.
Whole-team training opportunities
ensure everyone is clinically and
confidently prepared to support a
comprehensive program and better
patient outcomes.
