Dental Surgery

Dentists increasingly

offer cosmetic in addition to remedial treatments. The project reflects a

less exclusively

clinical environ-ment.

Fresh colours pro-mote feelings of

calm and injections

of slightly contro-versial humour signals a less forbidding experi-ence.

Illuminated X-rays of teeth and randomly placed pink skulls address the street, their presence suggesting that old fears are to be laughed at.

A frosted glass wall allows natural light into this private space. Angled mirror ceiling strips reflect disjointed segments of the room for the entertainment of patients.

Tinted glass gives a degree of privacy and Zebrano veneered walls bring comforting warmth.
