Whether you like it or not, people will most likely judge your skills based on the design of your office. If your office looks great, they will think you are a better dentist!

One survey of 16,000 patients found that a fresh, pleasant-looking office is one of 12 things that patients want most in a dentist.

Having a well-designed office has many advantages. For one, your patients will love it and they will want to spend more time in it. Most of your patients will not have the expertise to evaluate your clinical skills, but they can tell a fresh-looking office from an old one.

Another benefit of a well designed dental office is efficiency. David J. Ahearn, DDS, a practicing dentist and ergonomics consultant to dentists, who has worked with NASA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims that renovations to a dental office will increase productivity by 30%, and over time, as staff becomes adept in the new layout, will increase more.

Effective interior planning also provides adequate areas for confidential communication, such as consultation rooms, personal offices, and zones of privacy at check-in and check-out desks which puts patients at ease. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) makes it necessary for dentists to provide patient privacy. Designing your office in a way that ensures that privacy by providing private space in reception and consultation rooms will benefit you and give you a head start.
