Project Spotlight! Young Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

In an effort to break the mold of a typical dental office, Young Family & Cosmetic Dentistry wanted to create a space that would provide comfort and relaxation for a varied group of patients. Dr. Young has said, “I have been able to restore my patients’ oral health and in the process their happiness and self-confidence. I see myself as a healer, treating both physical and spiritual well being.” Through teaming with Dr. Young and her staff, the KSA Interiors was able to translate her vision into the built environment.

The greatest challenge faced by the design team was to relocate Dr. Young’s practice and double its size while keeping her doors open for business. The final design solution included eleven operatories, office space and common areas, and state-of-the art procedure spaces totaling 4,500 square feet. KSA Interiors was responsible for programming, space planning, construction drawings and administration, and finish and furniture selections for the entire project.

To achieve a warm atmosphere, the combination of a soft color palette of creamy tones and plush furniture was selected. Included in the design were high end selections in dental equipment and technology. Patients can utilize the electronic self check-in system as well as electronic insurance and medical history documentation. The new offices include advanced digital x-ray technology. To sooth all patients, each operatory room is equipped with an above-the-chair television entertainment system.

Dr. Young’s new dental office has received many complimentary reviews and referrals from fellow local dentists due to the inspired design of Young Family and Cosmetic Dentistry’s new space.

In A World Filled with Social Media...

In 2010, our firm - along with several others - has broken into the world of social media. Every day, we find new ways to utilize Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and now are diving cautiously into the world of blogging. We intend to post a great deal of helpful and interesting insight into the design industry as well as connect with many of our fellow social media advocates.

Thanks for having us!
