12. Kristoff Family Dentistry :: Carmel, Indiana
Kristoff Family Dentistry
Carmel, Indiana
Project Information
Dentist Office
4,500 sf Interior Build Out
Project Description
Technology in the dentist office was
a major focus in the creation of the
space. Each exam space is designed
with a shared digital x-ray machine.
Flat-screen monitors are provided at
each dental chair, which allows patients
to watch DVDs during their visit. It
also provides an opportunity for the
dentist to review x-rays and records
with patients on the monitor. Along
with cutting edge technology, one of
the key design issues was to provide a
space that would allow patients to feel
at home, as if they were sitting in their
own living room. The gas fireplace and
plasma TV create a warm, cozy feeling,
immediately upon entering the space.
