Waiting Room Design
Most people will tell you that the worst part of seeing a dentist is sitting in the waiting room. There are many reasons for this. The first of which is because you might hear other patients getting treatment. And, the tools a dentist uses can sound pretty scary from the outside. So, the first thing you need to think about is trying to soundproof your waiting room. Make it so patients don’t hear anything while they wait. Secondly, you need to have comfy furniture for them to sit on. After all, you need to keep your customers comfortable. There’s plenty of healthcare furniture out there that you can buy and setup in your waiting room. Get this room right, and you’ll be one of the best dentists around.

Treatment Room Design
Like the waiting room, the design of your treatment room is very important. First things first, it has to look clean and shiny. No one wants to walk into a treatment room that’s grimy and looks dusty. Cleanliness comforts people, and will help calm your patients down. Next, you need to ensure the room is a decent size. Don’t try and squeeze everything all in one tiny space; it won’t work. For one, it means the room will get messy and cluttered very quickly. Secondly, it creates a claustrophobic feel which will panic your patients.

Child Friendly
Finally, you have to ask yourself one question, is your dental practice child-friendly? Kids have the worst time at the dentist and are the ones that are most scared. If you can make your place child-friendly, then you open the gates to a profitable market. I’m talking, of course, about families. When a family finds a dentist, they tend to stick with them for a very long time. Often, their main concern is finding somewhere that is child-friendly. So, ensure you have things in place to make kids feel relaxed and comfortable. A few games in the waiting area would be a great idea. Likewise, some dentists have a ‘Where’s Wally’ type of thing stuck to the ceiling in the treatment room. This means the kids can look up and feel relaxed playing a game while they get seen to.
If you listen to my advice, I bet you’ll have a successful startup on your hands. Going into the world of healthcare is a great idea if you want to make money and help people too.
