Choosing dental cabinetry is one of the key factors in setting up a general or cosmetic dentistry office. Ideally, the dentist equipment, storage furniture, and dental chairs would all coordinate with the layout, style, and design of the office. The materials the storage units are made of, their color, style, and surface types are very important for the look and feel of the office, but the actual shape, design, storage capacity, and location are the most vital factors that determine how smoothly the office functions.

The most important pieces of dental cabinetry, consoles or workstations, are made to be placed up against a wall. They can also be an island or even mobile. Strategically placed, well made units can make all the difference in the organization and effectiveness of an office, as well as how efficiently each procedure is accomplished.

One type of console is referred to as a treatment console. This piece supports the pivoting tray that is used to hold the dental instruments used in basic dental functions. The tray can be converted for left or right use. This workstation is available in full height, having storage areas located above the work space. The smaller, mid-sized option is chosen when the extra storage space above is not needed. Both types of cabinets contain ample amounts of storage at the base of the console and some even include additional storage on the sides.

Another variety of dental cabinet console is the sterilization station. This console supports your sink which is used for the sterilization of staffs’ and patients’ hands and also for the use of the patient when they need to rinse their mouths. Such a console includes a countertop which can be chosen to complement the décor. It would also be necessary to choose what type of faucet, sink, and dispensers are needed and where to place them. When it comes to strategically placing the sink, the sink will normally already be installed which means that it is necessary to plan where the other pieces of dental furniture and cabinetry will go.  These useful pieces of furniture come in many configurations with as much or as little storage as needed.

Another convenient unit to have is an assistant station. A place is provided for a computer monitor while the keyboard is often placed on a moveable arm for flexibility. Storage is provided to store a CPU somewhere under the keyboard. This provides easy access to the computer as well as an easy storage place to keep it out of sight and out of the way.

The last common type of storage unit often used by dentists is the mobile dental cabinet. This piece has wheels at the bottom for mobility.  It usually has four drawers and a top that can slide from either front to back or side to side. Under the moveable top there is a deep storage space. The drawers provide space for any instruments, dental supplies, and materials. The mobile dental cart’s surface can hold the dentist tools and items most often needed during procedures. This cart also provides a place to attach some of the dentist equipment you may need to move from time to time.

There are many styles and configurations of dental cabinetry to complement any office décor. They can be as extravagant or minimalist as desired. Whatever the style, remember: the work area should be as easy to work in as it is on the eyes.
