Reception Furniture Guidelines For the Busy Dental Practice

Planning on opening a new Dental Practice or considering a refurbishment? Taking time to consider the immediate impact created by the reception is well worth it.

Our initial enquiries for reception furniture often need to be asked the same basic questions which have commonly been overlooked.

Location of entrances and exits
Number of staff to be seated at the desk
Dimensions of the room
Positioning of the desk
Are retail goods or other items to be displayed
Is visitor seating to be provided
Key colours, materials and finishes required
Is the desk to be straight or shaped and if so angled or curved.
Whether there is a requirement for Disabled access (DDA)

Providing these facts to the designer or supplier of Reception furniture is guaranteed to make the whole process of obtaining designs and costings more straight forward.

On many occasions we find our customers expect to need a custom design and bespoke reception desk to be manufactured.

When a standard tried and tested modular format is used for the reception desk but the desk itself is custom built, it provides the best of both worlds.

High quality reception desks with individual design features, all at competitive prices result from marrying the precision of modular desk manufacture with custom designs.

The clinical environment and the requirement for comfort, efficiency and creating a relaxed atmosphere are all considerations required in a quality Dental Reception.

The Reception design is probably the most important phase in any Dental Practice development.
It must combine the total package of effective use of space, environmental factors involving surface finishes, lighting and IT provisions along with quality seating to provide the right ambiance and a quality experience for all visitors
