Project Spotlight: 5 Innovative Family-Friendly Dental Practices
For some, a visit to the dentist can be a source of anxiety and stress, especially for children and young adults. Designing a family-friendly dental practice involves considering several key factors, including patient comfort, functionality, and creative design. Ensuring that patients feel safe and comfortable and even have a bit of fun during routine visits encourages them to return and helps maintain their dental health.
We are fortunate enough to have learned a lot through our residential work and what brings overall comfort and modern functionality to the homeowners and their families. This insight enables us to create retail, medical, and dental spaces that genuinely connect with the people who experience them. Our team has successfully completed many innovative, family-friendly dental practices in New England, exemplifying our commitment to building patient trust and comfort.
Here’s a look at five premier dental practices that exemplify innovation and comfort in New England’s family and pediatric dental health practices.
Children’s Dental Specialties – Worcester, MA
A family-run dental practice for families. We completed a multi-phase luxury construction project for Children’s Dental Specialties in Worcester with one thing in mind—a kid-friendly, modern, and fun practice that brings joy and smiling faces to patients and their families. With a bold design and vibrant, fun colors, this inviting space combines style and functionality for a perfect atmosphere.
