Background. The majority of treatment room configurations typically revolve
around the dentist. However, a design based on the relationships among the
dentist, patient, staff members and dental equipment results in a more fun

he treatment room should be designed as efficiently as possible. Ideally pl
anned operatories will benefit your practice by allowing you to produce as
much as you choose, while decreasing your stress level.
