Drs. Bryson and Margio Dentistry’s 2,540-square-foot floor plan meets their every need: three operatories, a large learning center that can also be converted to two hygiene rooms in the future, a large treatment room with a table and four chairs that doubles as a family suite and an “over-the-shoulder” education room, plus a sizable consultation room that can be converted to a large operatory. “Everything in their office was designed with the future in mind,” said Patterson Equipment Specialist Howard Wardle. “The doctors can have four additional treatment rooms in this office if they choose to do so. They had the ability to project themselves out seven years into the future and that allowed us to provide the best value.”


Quality over quantity

Even though the doctors designed their space for additional treatment rooms, equipping them is not a priority right now. “We’re more mature now and we know that we don’t need a lot of patients,” said Dr. Margio. “It’s the quality of care that matters. We really value each patient and we’re better at diagnosing and providing comprehensive treatment.”

Patterson’s complete array of technology helps the doctors provide top-notch care for each and every patient they see. Drs. Bryson and Margio Dentistry is equipped with the latest and greatest: Schick digital imaging, EagleSoft Practice Management Software, the new CEREC Acquisition Center (AC) powered by Bluecam, PLANMECA ProOne Digital Pan and an Aribex Nomad Portable X-ray.

The doctors had many of these technologies in their previous 1,000-square-foot office in Pennsylvania, but despite their desire for it, they couldn’t work CEREC into the small space. They were ecstatic to be the first practice in Las Vegas with CEREC AC installed and felt it was important to create a special area within their practice for CEREC so that they can highlight this featured service. “We’re thrilled with it and can’t imagine not using it,” said Dr. Bryson. “When patients understand that they can get a crown in an hour, that makes a lot of sense to them – and it’s an asset to us.”

To make life simpler in their office, the doctors use many of EagleSoft’s eServices, such as eReminders, text messaging and electronic claims. They also appreciate how their Schick images integrate seamlessly with EagleSoft. They chose the portable Aribex Nomad X-ray system for speed, efficiency and convenience, plus, it’s highly economical.

For their operatory and sterilization equipment, the doctors went with a time-tested favorite – A-dec. Each operatory has A-dec 511 chairs, monitor mounts, stools, cabinetry, delivery units and lights. In sterilization, a Lisa MB17 Sterilizer and A-dec Assistina ensure the highest level of infection control. “They chose the best because they provide the best,” said Wardle.
Even better the second time around
