I knew this was a dedicated<br />

group of professionals that<br />

would do what it took to<br />

make my plans come true.<br />

Make it fun!<br />

I wanted our office to be a fun place for children, and<br />

having decided that I wanted a pirate ship and a pirate<br />

themed play area for our young patients, I then had to<br />

determine how to make it happen. John suggested a<br />

company that they had used in the past, Studio Y<br />

Creations, to construct both areas. They turned out<br />

better than I had hoped and they've been a huge hit<br />

with the kids (and the parents too!)<br />

Comfort and efficient.<br />

All six of our operatories have been equipped with dual<br />

monitors. Cleankeys keyboards facilitate infection control<br />

and gyration mice allow the team to maintain eye contact<br />

with patients when discussing treatment options. I was<br />

so impressed with the comfort and performance of our<br />

A-dec 500 chairs in our treatment operatories that we<br />

added them to our hygiene ops.<br />

The patient experience in our operatories is enhanced<br />

with electric handpieces, digital radiography, intraoral<br />

photography and Caesy. Perhaps my best investment<br />

was digital x-rays. If our first image is less than ideal, for<br />

example missing an endodontic apex or a wisdom tooth<br />

periapical, we don't even have to remove the sensor from<br />

the patient's mouth– we just reposition it and take<br />

another shot–very efficient!<br />
