Creating a modern practice

A look at one practice’s refurbishment success.

Grange Green Dental Practice in Essex recently underwent a refurbishment. Practice manager, Emma Braybrook, explains, “The practice was established in 1999, but we had retained all the original décor and equipment of the previous business when we took over, which was very dated. The new owner needed to bring the practice up to scratch. The need to update every aspect of the environment and introduce modern technology led to a full refurbishment.”

As with any practice design or refurbishment, it is essential to establish the look and feel you want to achieve from an early stage. For example, are you going for vibrant and family-friendly, or calm and luxurious? For Grange Green, the focus was on creating a modern and fresh space that was welcoming for patients. Emma comments, “With such a massive change to modernise the entire practice, it was important to us that we could keep the interior as friendly and inviting as possible for our patients. We didn’t want to create an environment that was too clinical.”
