Bryan F. Beagan, D.M.D. and his wife weighed in on all decisions of space and décor during the ground up construction of this Rhode Island dental practice. The result: a unique vaulted orthodontic bay with floor to ceiling windows; a bright, clean space with ample light and nod to energy efficiency.

The practice design and décor reflects Dr. Jeff Shao’s philosophy in treatment, as well as the team’s personality. A movie theater-themed office features a modern appeal. Its efficient design maximizes space usage and creates a smooth clinic flow.

Shore Dental Arts is situated a few steps from a drawbridge used daily near the Seaport Inlet Marina in the quaint New Jersey shore town of Belmar. Nestled among a handful of businesses within a recently constructed luxury condominium community, the practice illustrates the rebirth of the area after the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The multi-specialty dental practice, established by owner and Family and Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Hasan Zaidi, DDS, MS, features decorative lighting, metallic artwork, and comfortable seating selected by Dr. Zaidi and his wife.

The patient experience is of utmost importance to Ash Kaushesh DDS, MAGD, MaCSD, DDOCS, DABOI/ID, and for this reason, he devoted countless hours developing a unique practice design concept. To represent the artistry of cosmetic dentistry, he incorporated custom designed pieces into the theme: Entrance doors, wrought iron and glass flower features on the ceiling of the reception area were created by artists local to the Scottsdale, Arizona practice.

A dream fulfilled. Construction of Performance Dental Center enabled Dr. Nicholas Sigman to realize his longtime goal of working and living in Boulder, Colorado. He aims to offer patients the ideal experience as well, with a practice design focused on a modern, friendly appearance.

After more than 40 years of dentistry, Dr. John McShane decided to embrace the challenge of constructing a new state-of-the-art dental office.

A specialist in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Mike Lateiner aims to make patients at his Newton, New Jersey office feel welcome and safe when they walk through the door. Sensitive to the needs of children, Dr. Mike dedicates his 4,100 square foot dental office to comfortable care for his young patients in a fun environment.

Three young entrepreneurs and Endodontists, Jeffrey G. Minchau D.D.S., M.S., Kent A. McBride D.D.S., M.S., and Spencer R. Stiles D.D.S., M.S. run three practices, including this newly constructed office in Mogantown, West Virginia.

Artwork, accessories and natural finishes convey a mixture of modern and vintage styles. Special features, like shiplap and decorative lighting, take the design to the next level. Large windows filter natural light into the reception area and other spaces of the office at this free-standing building in a residential area.

Designing from nothing but a concrete shell on the street level of a brand new residential development in Millbrae, California, Dr. Niki Fallah chose every detail of the office design herself — from the cabinet handles and counter tops, to flooring and paint colors. Mushroom stools for the center area of the open bay, a wall of butterflies in Dr. Fallah’s personal office and photo murals of poppies and lilies for the waiting room and treatment area incorporate timeless natural beauty into the theme.

Successfully reinventing an octagonal floor plan into an efficient dental office, Dr. Harcharn S. Mangat incorporated eight skylights into his 3306-square foot practice in the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. Natural light and magnificent woodwork greet patients who await care.

KidZaam is the creation of Dr. Al Higgins, a pediatric dentist whose Disney-esque approach in providing oral health care to children from ages 1 to 15 years aims to change how children feel about going to the dentist. At the practice in Cottonwood, Arizona (Dr. Higgins’ 4th location) he incorporated prior work with Disney animators to develop an entire character set and theme that includes a villain named ‘DK’.

Originally from further north in the Texas Panhandle, Dr. Joseph Dylan Everett was born in Amarillo to a family of ranchers and farmers, and called the nearby town of Stratford, Texas his home. So it’s no surprise that his practice embodies West Texas at every turn and reflects his foundation there.

Dr. Matthew Aldred saw the potential in refurbishing a 1920s building in Montpelier, Virginia to establish a family-oriented dental practice. While maintaining the historical integrity of the former storefront (swing sign and all!) he and his wife Laura created a hub of modern dentistry that serves the community in the region between Richmond and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Designed with the goal of blending a clean modern look with hints of rustic charm and textures, this holistic dental practice located in Boston’s South End features artwork and wall quotes meant to remind patients to inspire to achieve greatness.
