Dr. Chris Powell, Pediatric Dentist and owner of Stellar Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, loves space. Not the space between teeth, but the planets, stars, and galaxies. In phase one of his new building, there are outer space murals in the exam rooms, filling the entire wall, as if you are looking at the planets from a spaceship. The reception desk looks like a space portal and planet-like pendant light fixtures hang in the waiting area.
In phase two, Dr. Powell added a multi-bay exam room. Like phase one, it has a large mural of outer space filling one wall. The light fixtures look like the planets in our Solar System. Each exam chair uses an accent-colored floor tile to which r.o.i. Design carefully laid a path.
Additionally, phase two included some large acoustic panels printed with interstellar images. These were installed in the public areas to dampen the sound at check–out. Furthermore, we provided new lobby seating and dispersed the original throughout the various exam rooms.
From the Stellar Smiles website: “We create a comfortable atmosphere for our young patients. We tailor every visit to each individual child to ensure we are meeting their needs with compassion so they can feel confident and empowered during every dentist visit. Our therapy dog, Dogtor Piper, is also here to comfort anxious patients. At Stellar Smiles, we reach for the moon when it comes to out-of-this-world dental care!”
