sample images from a dental office interior design service, reviewed

reception area of a dental office with huge, detailed murals and sculptures of sea creatures I'm just going to start with the coolest one because it's the cruelest. This practice must have spent a ton of money to have all this custom work done, and it looks amazing, and every child going through that gorgeous coral arch is going to absolutely lose their shit when they realize this isn't the aquarium.

dental reception desk styled like a western saloon with a bunch of decorative buckets and barrels This is a dental receptionist's desk. It is not the basement bar your buddy Steve built to try and recapture the glory of his frat days but he doesn't really have people over that often anymore so it doesn't make sense to keep it fully stocked and after a while it accumulates household debris and loses all its character but when family comes over for Christmas he still insists on serving people from it.

dentist's waiting area with tufted burgundy chairs and Greco-Roman columns would you believe me if I said a dentist's waiting room could have toxic masculinity

treatment area with five dental chairs all lined up in one huge room There were a bunch of these communal dentistry layouts and I assume that this is just for show and when the office is open they'd have dividers or at least curtains between the chairs? Presumably? Or maybe this is one of those "you Americans! dental work everywhere else in the world happens in the giant open plan Dental Gallery!" international things.

reception area decorated with multiple images of pineapples and an actual pineapple Oh no. This dentist has a Personality. I'm so sorry.

reception area with a sans serif "Hello!" on the wall behind the desk and an LED-edged wooden panel and also there are succulents and a scribbly heart mural The good news is: everyone will know you renovated this year. The bad news is: for the rest of time, everyone will know you renovated this year.

upscale-ish dentist's waiting room with a Keurig coffee machine Serving hot coffee at a dentist's office? you sadistic sons of bitches

large private treatment room with lots of equipment, a bubble tube wall, homey wood paneling, and for some reason two different signs that say "friends" This place doesn't accept my insurance, does it.

dentist's waiting area with enormous windows and incredibly expensive-looking furniture and artwork This place definitely, definitely does not accept my insurance.

waiting room with fake red roses, sponge-painted brown walls, leather chairs, marble countertop, and at least four different styles of wall sconce I can't decide if this one is fancy or not. It seems too designed to be cheap, but too ticky-tack to be concierge dentistry. It looks like what would happen if casinos had dentists.

treatment room that looks cheap and generic except for some half-assed film reel decor on the walls. the decor pieces are small and haphazardly placed so most of the wall is still blank white.Okay, this is the one that accepts my insurance.

my orthodontist had the Open Plan Dental Gallery. honestly didn’t seem that weird, you’re mostly looking straight ahead while they’re doing stuff.

there’s also a place I used to go to called Dental Spa, which sounds nicer than it was—you could get like a head massage after your treatment. they also tried to get me on a particular “herbal rinse” instead of a mouthwash, I assume with some kind of kickback arrangement. sadly the waiting room was not on par with any of these.

the communal one is how my orthodontist's office was. the nurses would cycle to prep us, he'd come in, do his rounds, then let the nurses do their last rounds to get us all done and out an once. (midwest us ftr)

[edit] ah. many of us have experienced this apparently. gonna also confirm we had no dividers or curtains.
