From the day you first dream of your new practice until the day you move in, Patterson’s DesignEdge team will be there to make it successful every step of the way. Here are three ways that Patterson makes that happen: installation, integration and innovation.

There’s more to a dental office than what meets the eye. In order for a practice to run smoothly, there are many things that must be laid out with precision. Low- and high-voltage electrical conduits, chases and plumbing lines and wiring for computer networks and digital equipment must be expertly laid behind the walls and under the flooring. The Patterson service team is up to the task, absolutely guaranteeing that all your equipment – from chairs to lights to digital and computer hardware – is installed and working perfectly.

The face of dentistry is changing. Technology is making new things possible virtually every day, and Patterson is the industry leader in technology. Patterson certified trainers and support staff at the 100,000-square-foot Patterson Technology Center make sure a practice’s hardware and software function seamlessly with each other.

For decades, Patterson Dental has been recognized by manufacturers as the company to turn to when introducing breakthrough technology. Time and again, when new products come to market, Patterson brings them there first. And Patterson’s expanded exclusive distribution agreement with Sirona means it’s the only U.S. supplier to offer game-changing products like CEREC CAD/CAM systems, digital imaging from Schick, the groundbreaking Sirona Treatment Centers (Intego and Teneo) and much more.

Additionally, Patterson’s strong manufacturer partnerships bring unrivaled core equipment into the operatory. Even the office design process itself is an example of innovation. Patterson’s 3D models allow doctors to better understand what they’re seeing on paper. The introduction of virtual reality, which customers can experience at national tradeshows, will be rolled out to local branches over the next year or so.

’Virtual reality is the future of office design because you can’t get any closer to experiencing a new office without actually building it,” said Office Design Manager Mike Stark. ’With VR, a doctor gets to experience what it’s like to walk into their dream practice and get a feel for workflow and access to equipment. They can make any necessary changes – before finalizing design plans.”

’Patterson is way ahead of the curve with virtual reality. We’re providing an option that other companies don’t offer. We want the office design experience to be seamless and VR helps us to do that.”

IF A NEW DENTAL OFFICE IS ON THE HORIZON,YOU AREN’T ALONE. PATTERSON’S DESIGNEDGE TEAM WILL WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE YOUR DREAM PRACTICE COME TO LIFE.
