One of the most important aspects of practice refurbishment is the design. DDPC explain how they do it...
We are an architecture and interior design company responsible for a large number of cutting edge practices that have lead the way in dental practice design. We have provided design services to the dental profession for over thirty-five years.
Our portfolio includes award-winning projects such as 'Ultrasmile', based in London Docklands, and 'Aqua Dentalspa', Manchester Square, London.
Located on Limehouse Basin marina, 'Ultrasmile' dental practice was designed to maximise the wonderful views and to harness the natural light that floods the building throughout the day. DDPC worked closely with the practice owner, Dr Nghiem to create a contemporary practice that is both welcoming and practical.
Dr Nghiem said:
We knew what we wanted to achieve and decided that DDPC would be able to help us fulfil our objectives. The design team were very thorough and open-minded. We met several times to discuss ideas and to look at alternative schemes. It was great to see the design scheme turn into a reality.
One of our more recent projects 'Aqua Dentalspa', based in London's Manchester Square, represents the holistic approach to dental care. Anoop Maini, founder of 'Aqua Dentalspa' described his vision of working alongside alternative therapists and beauticians to provide 'total dental wellness' to his patients. His aim was to create a healing environment and to avoid all references to a traditional dental practice. He is very pleased with the end result.
Dr Maini said:
I wanted to provide high quality dentistry in a relaxed and stress-free environment. DDPC helped me to create a healing environment where treatments are customised to the emotional and physical needs of my patients. Their wellbeing is considered from the moment they enter the practice until they leave. I have found that patients who are more relaxed are more receptive to treatments. I have definitely seen an improvement in the quality of my working life.
We take a unique approach. While you may or may not have a sense of your own personal style, we will work with you to develop a look and feel for your practice that is consistent with who you are and how you work. Each practice we design reflects the individuality of our clients.
We are independent. We are not linked to any dental equipment suppliers or contractors and can therefore provide you with a cost effective and flexible service. We will send your design scheme to independent builders in order to obtain their quotations for the work. When we have received the quotations we will help you to choose the most appropriate builder that respects your budget and timescale. We are able to offer contract administration services to ensure that the design is not compromised in any way.
We have a comprehensive list of services to choose from. You may choose to use us across every aspect of your project or for simply obtaining planning advice regarding the feasibility of your project. Importantly, you always stay in control.
Whatever your requirements we are here to help. Whether refurbishing, relocating or setting up a new practice, we will translate your vision into a workable solution that will serve you now and well into your future.
