Today’s technologies allow the doctor and staff to deliver exceptional oral healthcare to their patients. Advances in technology will continue to drive improved patient care and team satisfaction in the coming years. Technology enhances the performance level in every phase of the dental office’s activities—from front office to in-house laboratories, and even in consultation areas that provide the patient and doctor with the ability to review treatment options and view before-and-after pictures of the potential changes being considered. Of course, there is ease of use. Equipment continues to be groomed and re-groomed to meet the exact needs of the user—and the overall value to the business can be positively calculated in time, energy, and profitability.
Doctors Ritter & Ramsey’s beautiful new office in Jupiter, Florida showcases the perfect marriage of sophisticated and inviting decor with the technologies that will support their business as it evolves. “Yes!” is the perfect word to describe the reception area. Warm, earthy tones are used on the walls, overstuffed furniture, and floor coverings that mingle effortlessly with the room’s golden-hued woodwork. Black granite countertops and tabletops found in the reception area and doctor’s offices add just the right dramatic contrast. Various styles in side chairs appear throughout the office, catching the eye with their unique artistry. Cabinetry and equipment in the 9 operatories continues the office’s style theme. Sleek, contemporary equipment surrounded by the same design elements that make the rest of the facility so memorable. The office’s architecture allows lots of natural light to flow in, taking full advantage of Florida’s abundant fair weather.

“Very careful planning went into this project,” comments Henry Schein Equipment Sales Specialist Alfredo Malagon. “We spent many hours going over design and layout. I knew the doctors were looking for something special— and we made sure all the steps were taken to make this a successful project. Equipment [was chosen] that best suited the doctors needs and budget. The entire office was created for staff comfort and productivity. This space is a joy to visit as a patient or work in as a staff member.”
“We had the space to build in a beautiful conference room with full media,” adds Dr. Ramsey. “We have utilized the room for meetings and continuing education for the staff—it really is a great room. The new facility also allowed us to [streamline the office workflow]. From check-in to exit, the whole experience is seamless and easy for patients and team members.”
Doctors and staff agree—stress is definitely down. “Everyone has had such a surge of positive energy that a decrease in stress was inevitable,” notes Dr. Ritter. “The new facility has helped us to attract new personnel to our business, which has rounded out the ideal team [for our practice].”
“The new space will provide the doctors and staff with years of worry-free dentistry,” adds Alfredo Malagon. “Every time they walk into the office, they feel reenergized by the new technologies and the latest in dental equipment. Patients can’t help feeling great when they visit this office—and productivity and case acceptance is through the roof! It was a pleasure to be involved with this project.”
The new office unfolds a whole new era in the practice’s history. Dr. Ramsey notes, “Our practice represents a new beginning [for us]. When you are able to build your dream facility with your partner, it creates a positive energy that everyone can see and feel!”
Dr. Ritter and Dr. Ramsey should have no difficulty in meeting the challenges that will come their way. The business now has “the right stuff” to continue its legacy of excellence in patient care and increased prosperity as well.
