Texas-based Toothbar is the 2019 winner of the "New Build" Design Innovation Award by the American Dental Association, according to a Dec. 17 news release.
To win, a facility must have appealing aesthetics, function efficiently and utilize technology to accomplish patient care goals.
Toothbar founders Kimberley Barclay, DMD, and Lauren Jacobsen, DMD, opened the facility with the goal of making dental experiences as pleasant and convenient as possible. The practice's lobby has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and patients can sit in massage chairs as they wait. The practice also provides a bar, snacks, complimentary Wi-Fi, and charging stations. There's also a "brush bar," stocked with some of the dentists' favorite oral health supplies.
