Designing Your Ideal Dentistry Suite
See how dentistry
can impact your
practice
Dentistry is the largest untapped
source of patient care in most small
animal practices. Your space can
support more than treating patients
with disease—envision where you can
offer preventive oral care, too. Lean
on the clinical design expertise of your
account manager and manufacturer
to help you create a dental suite that's
right for your practice, staff, and care
objectives.
Your commitment to dentistry will
inspire your team to follow your lead.
And the investment you make today
will benefit your patients and practice
for as long as your doors are open.
These items should
be available for every

digital sensors

The benefits of a dedicated
dental suite
An Illinois-based practice owner had recently remodeled his front
office space and was keen to renovate his dental suite to increase
the number of patients he could treat. At capacity in his current
area, simply upgrading equipment would not help meet his goals.
The existing one-table space was 10 feet by 12 feet, allowing one
doctor to perform procedures at a time. The new two-table space
is 12 feet by 17 feet. Each table has its own equipment, enabling
two doctors to work simultaneously or to use the second table to
prepare the next patient for a procedure, enhancing patient care
efficiencies.
One-year post-remodel, the practice increased the number of
comprehensive oral and radiographic evaluations performed
from 230 to 386 patients, a 67% gain. The hospital did not need
to solicit new clients to realize a revenue gain. These results
reflect creating an efficient dentistry space, choosing the proper
equipment, and aligning staff through training.
