We’re proud to share that Kanning Orthodontics was recently named the 2018 ‘Outstanding Specialty Practice’ in the 19^th annual Dental Office Design Competition (DODC) co-hosted by the American Dental Association and Wells Fargo Practice Finance. The competition recognizes practices across the U.S. for innovative design solutions that help elevate the patient experience and services offered.

Dr. Kanning’s practice philosophy is built on the premise of treating people, both staff and patients, remarkably. The driving design for his practice was to create a space that patients feel comfortable in. When asked what advice he has for other practices, his response perfectly encapsulates the larger vision for his business, as well as the Kanning Orthodontics building.

“Going to any sort of medical care office is not something most people would categorize as an event they look forward to,” said Dr. Kanning. “But health is important, and our philosophy is that, in order for our patients to value their dental health as much as we do, it starts with making our patients feel we value them. That value includes everything from the personal interactions we have with our patients, to the spaces those interactions happen in. Creating a comfortable space that staff enjoy working in and patients feel more relaxed in was a no brainer for us.

More details about specific design solutions and technology, as well as photos, can be found on the DODC website. Heartfelt congratulations go out to our friends at Kanning Orthodontics! This recognition is well-deserved, and we’re proud to have been part of creating a premier space for a premier practice.
