To say that Puccio was heavily involved in the construction and design of the office would be an understatement. The seasoned doctor not only oversaw every aspect of the practice from the perspective of a dentist; he was also the licensed general contractor on the project.

Puccio knew exactly what he wanted for his new practice, which was everything: the best technology, equipment, materials and décor. “I told Patterson that I needed four operatories and everything under the sun in my new office,” he said.

The doctor demolished the existing building, ensuring he could build the new office to his exact specifications, which included three open bay operatories and one private operatory. He chose to keep the floor plan similar to his Garfield office, with one important addition – a consultation room. He wanted a quiet space where he could show patients CAESY videos on a large monitor and discuss their treatment recommendations in detail. “It’s a nice inviting room where the patient can sit down and not be intimidated,” Puccio said.

The exterior of the office was also carefully considered. Because it’s located in a residential area, Puccio wanted the office to resemble a home rather than a commercial building. With a front porch, double hung windows, and a full brick exterior, the building blends in with surrounding homes, yet is very welcoming for patients. Two residential units on the second floor were incorporated into the design and can provide room to expand in the future.

Inside, Puccio spared no expense to create the high-end look he was after. Architectural wood molding, natural stone flooring and counter-tops and warm earth tones throughout lend an air of sophistication to the practice. “I spared no expense in this office,” he said. “I wanted it to be different than any other dental practice patients had seen before.”

Patterson Equipment Specialist Dean Merolle agrees that the space is truly unique. “The colors he chose and the fact that he used the same countertops and cupboards throughout has created a very cohesive look you don’t find in many offices,” Merolle said.

While the décor is truly exceptional, it’s the technology that makes Midland Family Dental Care of Wyckoff stand out. In keeping with his commitment to only bring the best of everything into his practice, Puccio selected equipment and technology from leading manufacturers Schick, Sirona and A-dec.

In the operatories, A-dec 511 chairs with A-dec 533 Continental Delivery Systems keep cords organized and instruments at the doctor’s fingertips. A-dec LED lights not only ensure a lower energy bill, they also maximize vision in the mouth from any angle. His A-dec ICC sterilization center provides the hospital-grade sterility he requires and gives his patients peace of mind.
