Natural Perspective Meets the Modern City
Since May 6th, 1954, the family has operated the first dental clinic in Taiwan. As an island, views of the water are often the scenic backdrop of dental clinics. Therefore, when Dr. Chen Eison began looking to open a practice in Shanghai, he searched for over a year before selecting the ideal site along the Huangpu River with stunning views of the water. A prominent design element within the practice, its full-length windows take advantage of the combination of dramatic urban setting and natural beauty with expansive views over Shanghai and the water. At their appointments, “Patients can enjoy the sea, river and boats nearby,” says Dr. Eison.
The design of the practice is aimed at helping patients feel comfortable and relaxed. The overall color scheme is built around black and white while dark wood tones are used for some of the floors and walls. The practice’s waiting area has coffee and refreshments available. Each consultation room is unique and patients sometimes choose rooms that fit their own preferences. Dr. Eison notes that the practice also has a personal touch: “I had the idea that what I use in my own home will be provided to patients in the practice. For example, the air purifiers and aromatherapy are all the same brands that I use in my own home. I hope to share my favorite things with everyone, to create a warm feeling for patients.”
There are seven treatment rooms in total including one operating room, one orthodontics room, two rooms for pediatric dentistry, two general rooms, and an additional one for VIPs. The VIP treatment room and corresponding waiting room have dark wood elements to accentuate the natural lighting.
