New Twist on Traditional

Dr. Spangler had a strong vision for South Pointe Dental’s décor. He had lived in Taiwan for two years and wanted to bring elements of that experience into the practice. “I became attached to the culture in Taiwan,” said Dr. Spangler. “Plus, it seemed everyone was decorating in a traditional, Tuscan, or log-cabin feel and we wanted to be different.”

His interior decorator and wife put a modern twist on the traditional Asian décor. Using a color palette of earthy greens, browns and beiges, plus splashes of orange, the office exudes comfort and elegance. “The colors are really spectacular,” said Ota. “It’s a very relaxing, stress-free environment.”

In the reception area, a large watercolor painting of traditional Chinese cherry blossoms hangs above the seating area, which features chairs and sofas upholstered with silky oriental fabrics. Two contemporary large square brown ottomans house magazines and other reading materials. Frosted acrylic panels embedded with bamboo branches are used throughout the office to create separate, yet light and airy, spaces.

In the operatories, Dr. Spangler selected A-dec 511 chairs in a curry colored upholstery. To create a truly one-of-a-kind look for his cabinetry, Dr. Spangler chose a custom color. “It’s one of the most beautiful cabinetry finishes I’ve ever seen,” said Matthews. Televisions on A-dec monitor mounts allow patients to view their digital and intraoral images with ease. In three of Dr. Spangler’s operatories, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a panoramic view of the entire Salt Lake Valley. “The view is unlike anything else,” said Dr. Spangler.
