The 1960s lab was using long outmoded equipment, lacked a reasonable ventilation system, and had over-aged, worn-out finishes and there was no reception area for patients. Our design replaced all equipment, including all dental stations, cabinetry, and support and imaging labs with all new equipment and equipment support infrastructure. We provided significantly enhanced ventilation to better extract air-borne odors and particulates and new indirect lighting to ease patients’ vision. Air conditioning was added to enhance the patient and trainee comfort. A generous reception area was provided to give patients a more professional arrival experience.
