The Patient Centered Dental-Health Home 2023-2026 - 25
Fundamentals
* Unless your dental space is small, say six or
fewer treatment rooms, avoid any temptation
to run vacuum lines through the ceiling; even
with a small office, try to find other alternatives
to ceiling-run vacuum lines. It is better to run
lines from the foot of the treatment chair
to a common base wall and along it to the
mechanical room.
* Plumbing and electrical lines may need to be
completely upgraded in an older building; water
lines must be reliable, clean, and free of debris.
* You may want to consider how design will
take advantage of existing features such as
plumbing, shared wet walls, and window
location.
* Electrical service is needed to support all of the
clinic activities.
* Will you share the building? If so, other
businesses, their type, and their parking
requirements should be compatible with your
operation.
* How economically can the building be heated in
winter and cooled in summer?
* Where is the sun located in the afternoon when
compared to the treatment rooms?
Function
Let's think about the function of our clinic. By
" function " we mean, " how easily we can get our
jobs done. " If an operatory is too small, or if the
supplies or equipment we need are in the wrong
place, it can make it difficult to complete our
tasks. The outcome we're looking for could be
compromised. What can we do to assure that our
workspace is just right for the job we need to do?
What spaces do we need in our
dental office?
The first thing we need to know is what spaces
we really need in our clinic. Some spaces are
absolutely necessary, while others may not be
required. Whether you include them in your
planning and design will depend on your mission,
budget, scope of practice, and organization. Let's
look at some essential versus non-essential spaces
in the dental clinic.
Essential Spaces
Operatory
We recommend that each operatory be ambidextrous
and standard in size to allow for any type of
procedure. A miniumum of 10' x 11'-6 is an ideal size
to allow for sufficient cabinet support and delivery
options. Please remember that to comply with ADA
wheelchair accessibility requirements, treatment
rooms must have a minimum 32 " (36 " recommended)
clear entrance to allow the patient to transfer from the
wheelchair to the treatment chair. If it is likely that both
right and left-handed dentists will use the operatory,
then you must have the same amount of clearance on
both sides of the dental chair.
