Making the Most of Your Periodontal Office
Design

For us at APEX, the most important thing to know
about periodontal office design is that its
about more than just an office. Your periodontal
office is a space in which you and your patients
coalesce to each others mutual benefit. A dental
office is, after all, a unique environment where
you are expected to overcome obstacles and face
challenges. We take pride in our design-build
work, constructing from the ground up, tailoring
your office to your needs. If you want to
optimize your workflow or provide a comfortable
environment in which patients can feel at ease,
give us a call. Our business is centered on you,
and we always aim to please. In this article, we
look at what we can do for your office, and how
you can make the most of your periodontal office
design.

What Does a Periodontist Do? Dont forget, your
periodontal office should be both aesthetically
and functionally different from general dental
office design. As such, ask yourself, what does a
periodontist do? A periodontist is a specialized
dentist, who prevents, diagnoses, and treats
periodontal disease (which affects the gums,
alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal
ligament, the structures that support and
surround your teeth). They are also experts in
treating oral inflammation and prescribing dental
implants.Like all dental specialists,
periodontists will have specific requirements for
their offices that will differ from general
dental office design. With APEX, we understand
your needs because we will work closely with you
to realize them. What you want, we want.

Fundamental Ideas in Periodontal Office
Design For excellent periodontal office design,
its important to remember that the workspace
should meet the requirements of your staff and
patients. Specialized treatment rooms, while not
trafficked as much as the waiting room and
reception areas, should be designed with the
respect they deserve. Treatment rooms should be
properly integrated, with built-in storage and
equipment solutions. Furthermore, on an
architectural level, we can do a lot in the way
of soundproofing via strategic placement of
angles and materials.

Similarly, we believe in innovation, and some of
the best periodontal offices have been designed
to break the mold. Creating your office to
optimize and complement your workflow is one of
the best ways to make the most of its design
possibilities. Circular designs where patients
are led from waiting room to treatment room to
waiting room can help eliminate patient traffic
problems. Circular structures can also ensure
patients are dealt with efficiently. We have even
seen some offices utilize two separate reception
desks, one each for incoming and outgoing
patients. It isnt just the shape that can make
a great periodontal office. Interior design
details like ceiling height can help you get the
most out of smaller rooms, especially those with
lots of equipment and furnishings. High ceilings
can also create possibilities for strategic
window placement to let in more natural light. It
is details like these that make a great
periodontal office.
