the premises had been trans- formed. Unlike some orthodontic
practices who favour an open plan layout with several chairs, the four surgeries are all private. Sabina felt that it was important for the patients to feel as comfortable as possible and providing an enclosed surgery for the orthodontist and patients to talk and carry out treatments in private was a vital consideration. At the time of writing only
two out of the four surgeries are in operation but, as the list grows, Sabina will utilise the other two. Her orthodontic dental nurse and team leader Sheree Jeffrey has just started training as an orthodontic therapist and the plan is for Sabina to oversee the overall treatment planning but employ therapists to carry out certain treatments under her supervi-
sion. This system has been used successfully in America for many years and Sabina hopes it will prove effective at Eden Orthodontics. In terms of layout and
design, the practice manages to combine a welcoming and comfortable feel without losing sight of the main clinical nature of the premises. Bold watercol- ours adorn the surgery walls, providing splashes of colour to liven up clinical atmosphere of the surgeries. The light wooden panelling and fixtures and fittings in the reception and waiting area are comple- mented by the turquoise Eden Orthodontics colours that are interspersed throughout. Sabina said: “It has been a challenging project but an exciting one and I am really pleased with how it has turned out. The design and build went really well and I’m looking forward to many years treating patients here at the practice.”
The brightly coloured surgery offers a very patient-friendly feel
