Why You Should Consider Art for Your Orthodontist Office

Why You Should Consider Art for Your Orthodontist Office

March 01, 2024 - Arminco Inc.

Art has a drastic effect on people's consciousness.

In Brussels, psychiatrists are now prescribing trips to art galleries to help patients with burnout and anxiety. The calming effect of art is only just becoming apparent to the wider world, but that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of it for your orthodontist office.

In today's post, we'll tell you why you should consider incorporating decorative artwork in your orthodontic office design. If your walls are feeling a bit barren, keep reading and find out exactly what sprucing them up can do for your patients, your staff, and even you.

Calming Art for Patients

Typically, when patients arrive at an orthodontist's office, it's because they need some serious oral treatment. It might be something simple like putting a veneer on a broken tooth or treating cavities. It could also be something more serious, like corrective jaw surgery to fix a major orthodontic problem.

Either way, visiting an orthodontist can be a major source of stress for the average person. 36% of the US population have a fear of dental treatment, with 12% of those classifying their fear as "extreme".

Installing art in your office will help to reduce your patients' stress levels. Studies have shown that art can reduce people's levels of cortisol, which is a chemical our body produces an excess of when stressed. Calmer patients make for happier patients, but they also make your job easier.

Boosting Employee Morale

It's not just your patients that art has a calming effect on. Your employees are also prone to stress, albeit of a different kind. When your employees experience stress and burnout, they become more distanced and disdainful of work.

This is wholly unsustainable for your orthodontist's office. If your employees are reporting higher levels of stress, there are many things you can do to improve their situation. Art may be a small change, but as we mentioned earlier, it can have a positive effect on your workers' mental health.

Make Your Orthodontist Office Shine

There's also a less serious side to installing decorative artwork in your practice. From an aesthetic perspective, wall art will make your office look better. When it looks better, your patients will notice and become more likely to refer friends and family to you.

You can use decorative artwork to create a feature wall that draws the eye of everyone who walks in the door. It also allows you to let your personality out so your patients can get to know you a bit better.

Become an Art-Loving Orthodontist

If your orthodontist office is looking a bit drab, it could be time to add an artistic injection. Now that you know how art can improve your office and the people inside it, choose a few pieces that appeal to you and become known as an art-loving orthodontist.
