As practice and clinic owners begin focusing their attention on reopening, we rounded up a few tips we thought you might find helpful.

For a more in-depth checklist on how to keep you, your staff, and your patients safe, check out this great article by AAPD. Most importantly, check with your local, state, and federal governments and implement any required regulations for reopening your practices.

5 WAYS YO MAKE YOUR WAITING ROOM SAFER DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC

1. Revise Your Waiting Area Seating Arrangement

There are many options to consider, so do what works best for your space. Some options include removing chairs, adding curtains/sheets between seats, or spreading your chairs out into unused areas/rooms if you have the space to accommodate. If you see kids in your practice, consider arranging chairs in ‘pods’ to accommodate the patient, a parent, and possibly a sibling. If you have IDS benches or other connected seating options, consider marking designated seats to help patients keep their distance from one another.

2. The Less People in the Waiting Room, the Better

If you want to eliminate non-essential personnel in the building, ask patients and their families to wait/fill out any paperwork in their car. Call or text them on their cell phones when you are ready for them to come in. You can ask that any additional family members remain in the car if possible, to avoid overcrowding the waiting room or treatment area.

3. Reduce the Number of Interactive Touchpoints

Reduce the number of patient interaction touchpoints. For example, wipe downs pens and credit card machines between patients and lessen pen/form transfers through contactless solutions, such as emailing receipts.

4. Help Maintain the Distance

Use floor stickers to encourage your patients to allow proper social distancing from front of house staff and other patients waiting inside. To help with this, IDS has created a variety of floor stickers based on our most popular themes, available for you to order a cost.

Go to idskids.com or call 1-888-884-4102 to request social distancing floor stickers for your office.

5. Eliminate Unnecessary Contact Points

Reduce the number of contact points in your waiting room. Mark play areas off-limits and turn off video game consoles; take away any magazines or toys that you would normally provide to your patients to help pass the time.

At IDS, we’re best known for our highly creative, custom-themed spaces. We often feature some of the more elaborate and in-depth environments in our portfolio, but did you know that we also offer a host of solutions that can make a big impact even if you’re working with a small budget?

Over the years, we have come to recognize the most popular characters from our creations and some great ways to use them. We recently decided to pull these all-time favorites together into a catalog of pre-designed, family-friendly decor called he IDS Essentials™ Collection.

You’ll find some of our classic designs, as well as several designs from our brand-new contemporary collection, which is designed for a more sophisticated feel. What all these products have in common is that because they are pre-designed, there is a cost-saving for you!

Here are some examples of what you get with even a modest budget:

$5,000 Budget

With this budget you can cover a 25’ long wall with a mural (at 10’ high), or you can mix and match by doing a mural on a smaller wall and adding a faux window.

Or, use the budget to create a super-fun kid’s brushing station!

$10,000 Budget

With this budget you can get a 3D sculpted character for your waiting room plus a smile tile for your ceiling.

Or, mix and match by selecting murals for two to three walls, and add some awesome decor items such as a themed bench and a brushing mirror.

$15,000 Budget

With this budget you can create an amazing photo op for social media by using a combination of a wall mural, a themed bench, and one of our charming sculpted characters.

Or, create an engaging kid’s corner that includes murals, benches, and a gaming station that incorporates touchscreen tablets and hands-on activities to appeal to a range of ages.

No matter what your budget, the ROI is compelling – IDS decor makes your space more inviting for young families, encourages kids to have fun while in your care, and helps your office stand out in the community. Explore the entire IDS Essentials™ Collection here and start imagining.

Whether Your Office is Big or Small, IDS Can Theme It All

Small Office

No matter what size space you want to theme, the benefits of a kid-friendly space in dental or medical offices are always the same. Your practice will become more welcoming for young families, and the kids will have fun and be less anxious while in your care. Happy parents will rave about your office, and through their word-of-mouth advertising, more families will come looking for a similar experience.

Read on for a few ways to take your space from mundane to magical! Or skip to ideas for:

Themed Decor for a Small Office

For offices where space is a precious commodity, start your theming with wall murals. Murals are a great way to inject some fun into a space and require zero footprint to do so. Murals aren’t limited to just your walls; our colorful graphics can be applied to check-in counters, doors, cabinetry, windows, company vehicles, and more!

Check out this undersea office decor. It takes up no additional room than your normal cabinets and mirrors would.

Our custom murals are expertly curated to fit any space, taking any permanent fixture into consideration – light switches, outlets, doorways, etc. You’ll never have to worry about a cute character’s face being covered up by the thermostat!

And if you have no open wall space… don’t forget about your windows!

If you’d like to have some 3D elements in your office, but you’re worried about them taking up too much space, we recommend products like brushing mirrors or themed benches that replace their ‘regular’ counterparts. This combination results in an exciting office with zero extra space required.

If you’re looking for characters, a few smaller critters can fit into your normal decor and create a lot of humour. Like this thieving raccoon and peeping squirrel.

Do you have a smaller office space or a smaller budget? Why not download a PDF of our Product Guide and check out the budget-friendly products we have available in our Essentials Collection.

You’ll find examples of murals, brushing mirrors, benches and more in our 6 most popular themes, including jungle, underwater, safari, beach, woodland, and space.

Themed Decor for a Medium Office

If you’ve got a little more room to play, your options open up even more. In addition to our recommendations for a smaller office, themed kid’s corners and play areas are among our most popular designs. You can add in some gaming stations for a variety of ages, while creating “share-worthy” photo ops that are a perfect addition to your social media feed. These extras can really enhance the experience kids have while visiting your office.

Depending on your location and exterior space available, you could also consider a character sitting on a bench outside of your practice. Our designs are built to last and can withstand outdoor elements, no matter your geographical location, from snowy winters to sunny summers.

Exterior photo ops make for great landmarks, which not only saves space inside, but also helps make your practice easier to find from the outside. Inquisitive passers-by will likely wander into your practice, curious to know more about the services you offer.

Themed Decor for a Large Office

If you are lucky enough to have a large space, this is where the IDS team can really roll up their sleeves and help you create an unforgettable experience for your patients. As your patients move from the front of the office to the back, we can help you to enhance your theme and tell a story that keeps them engaged throughout their entire visit.

With more space comes more opportunities to get creative with your theming, such as a large-scale sculpture in your waiting area, or 3D cladding for your front desk.

You can add theming elements like ceiling characters to your treatment rooms and open bay, or deck out your waiting area with cladded benches or characters “waiting” for their own appointments. The trick is creating a space that isn’t just a room with a TV, but a secret world created just for your younger patients.

Theater rooms are also popular to keep kids occupied for longer, especially when waiting for a sibling to finish their appointment. They can be fun and educational areas.

Big or small, theming can help you to squeeze extra value out of your physical space. Our clients often describe it as a win-win-win investment – patients and their families have more fun while in your care, staff report that appointments are easier and they enjoy working in a unique environment, and the space helps to fuel positive reviews from parents which helps to accelerate the growth of the practice.

IDS is committed to helping you invest in the future success of your practice. The only question is, what kind of themed office decor can we create for you?

5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Office Photo Op

JUMP TO SECTION

1. Make Sure Your Dental Office Photo Op is ‘Share-Worthy’
2. Create a “Subtle Brag” for Parent Engagement on Social Media
3. Integrating Your Brand into Dental Office Photo Opportunities
4. Boost Engagement with a Social Media Contest in Your Dental Office
5. Keeping Dental Office Photo Ops Fresh with Seasonal Updates
Send & Share

With social media playing an ever more critical role in marketing, it’s no surprise that photo ops are becoming a trend in clinic waiting rooms the world over. It’s a great dental office promotion idea for using your physical office space to drive social media activity (like posts and shares) and can really help a practice gain organic traction in the online parent community.

5 Key Tips to Maximize Your Dental Office’s Social Media Photo Ops

1. Make Sure Your Dental Office Photo Op is ‘Share-Worthy’

Parents are always on the lookout for the next moment that will produce an eye-catching, adorable photo of their little ones. Make sure that your photo op features vibrant colors and something that will really make kids smile. It’s all about curating that perfect social media moment.

2. Create a “Subtle Brag” for Parent Engagement on Social Media

Beyond the adorable moment, parents are secretly looking for the opportunity for a subtle brag. For example, “Look at how much fun my kid had at the dentist… Oh, and no cavities!”

To play into this desire, add some props to the scene that allow kids to proudly advertise ‘Cavity-Free Today!’, ‘Had a Great Appointment!’, or ‘I was Brave Today!’.

If you’re an optometrist, try a sign that says ‘New Glasses Day!’ or ‘My First Pair of Glasses!’.

If you’re a doctor, ‘I Was Vaccinated Today!’, ‘I Got a Shot Today!’, or ‘I’m All Better!’

3. Integrating Your Brand into Dental Office Photo Opportunities

You get the most marketing value from a photo being posted to social media if those who see it know where it was taken. We suggest a combination of two things: your medical or dental office logo subtly included in the scene somewhere – it can be incorporated in the background scene, on a signpost that’s in the shot, or perhaps on the t-shirt of the photo op character. Next, utilize hashtags and encourage parents to tag your office when they post the picture. Make this easy on them by ensuring your hashtags and social media handles are easy to find and are included on any take-home paperwork they may receive.

4. Boost Engagement with a Social Media Contest in Your Dental Office

One of the best ways to nurture parent-driven activity online is to run a contest. Weave this together with your photo op by allowing the posting of the photo as entry into the contest. Use a unique hashtag to easily identify entries online and make your prize something family-focused such as passes to a local amusement park or a family picnic prize pack.

One thing to note here – not every parent will be open to posting photos of their kids on social media, so be sure to supplement the above with an offline entry ballot as well. This way parents have the opportunity to enter without being ‘forced’ to post pics of their kids online.

If you want more tips on running a contest in your office or on social media, check out out free marketing guide for more great insights.

5. Keeping Dental Office Photo Ops Fresh with Seasonal Updates

Parents don’t want to look like they are posting the same photo more than once, which is why you’ll need to put some thought into keeping your photo op current. It can be as simple as adding some seasonal props like a Santa hat on your character or adding some pumpkins and cobwebs around Halloween. The trick is to make the photo op reflect what’s current now.

How to Theme Your Space on a Budget

JUMP TO SECTION

Send & Share

Theming an entire office can be a daunting prospect financially, especially if you’re a new grad or if you’ve just opened your first business. But trust us when we say we have something for everyone – and something for all budgets. All of our themed elements are custom built so prices vary depending on design, scope, and complexity. We have created themed spaces from $5,000 to over $800,000. Each design, big or small, serves the same purpose: relaxing your patients and increasing new patient referrals.

Explore Your Financing Options

Not all of our clients just have $100,000 burning a hole in their pocket. The majority finance their theming through local funders. IDS products can be included in your building cost, which makes talking to your bank easy. Bank of America has been a fan of IDS for years and specializes in loans for dentists.

Adding theming into your marketing budget can work as well. After all, theming has proven to be more helpful at gaining new patients than traditional advertising such as newspaper ads, TV commercials, and radio spots.

Try Our Pre-Designed Murals in Our Essentials Collection

If you’re only going to do one thing to transform your space add murals! Those on a budget can check out our pre-designed murals for a more affordable mural option. Murals are a great place to start your theming, and the murals from our Essentials Collection make that even easier to do.

Some other products for the Essentials Collection

Dr. Joe Nguyen became a customer of ours many years ago by starting out with a couple of our pre-designed products. He has since expanded into 2 new offices with fully immersive floor to ceiling themes.

“I wanted to start small with my first office so I put a few pieces in certain areas [a mural and 2 brushing mirrors]. For my second office, I went all out with a completely WOW kid’s play area and put murals and some custom 3D in lots of the treatment rooms.

Next, I will be expanding the theming in my first office and I plan on doing another fully themed IDS office that will be super cool. I can’t wait. I love IDS. It is so much fun to work with them and I would love to do this all the time!”

– Dr. Joe Nguyen

We are continuing to add to our line of pre-designed murals. Our newest addition is a line of stylish contemporary murals – perfect for offices that see a variety of patients, both young and old.

Stay on Budget with Multi-Stage Theming

You can also consider multi-stage theming – get your favorite pieces now and do a second install later as your budget allows. We have seen a number of clients use this option successfully and theme in stages according to their budget and circumstances. Start in the reception area and add to the treatment area later, or add a gaming tablet before adding a whole play area. Do what works best for you.

If you’re a new grad who wants theming but is just starting out then we recommend theming in stages as well. You can start small with murals, a brushing mirror, and even a photo op to help promote your business. We’ll be ready to add more when you are! We can even draw sketches for your office with a final stage in mind so you know that your early theming will fit your expansion as you continue to theme.

An important aspect to remember about IDS theming is that our murals and 3D sculptures are built to last. Old pieces will stand the test of time and look great next to new additions, allowing you to have a cohesive look as you expand.

Our steel-reinforced props are hard coated with the toughest and most durable protective coating in the industry. It flexes with the weight of active kids and stands up to their abuse. Our 3M murals are made of the same material used on graphic vehicle wraps. If it can handle rocks on the highway it can handle kids!

Check out 2 of our clients who did multi-stage theming. Here’s what they thought of this option.

Dr. Morgan, who started small on his first office out of school, and Dr. Lateiner, who expanded his office space and his theming along with it.

“As a relatively new residency graduate, I decided to theme my office in two stages. I had just purchased a long-standing, successful pediatric dental office but was still budget-conscious. Dave and his team at IDS made the entire process from start to finish incredibly easy. He guided me towards what would be most cost-effective but would also give the most dramatic first impression for my patients seeing the office for the first time. Therefore, my new patients were able to experience an exciting office from day one.

My first phase consisted of my reception desk and murals. The murals allowed for maximal coverage while not over-extending my initial budget.

Less than one year later we started sketches for my second phase which consisted of a custom tablet game tower, murals, faux windows, Chew on This, as well as some custom 3D wall art.

I would recommend IDS and multi-staging their office theming project to any budget-conscious dentist and am very happy with my results. IDS will most definitely theme my second office!”
– Dr. Bryan Morgan

“I wasn’t planning on opening my second stage for a few more years but things were going so well that when space opened up next door, we jumped on it. We’re not only thrilled with the return we’ve received, but we’ve already booked future projects with IDS.

All of our expectations have been exceeded and we can attribute a large amount of our success to our IDS design. Working with IDS has been an amazing experience – the best part of building both of my practices!”

– Dr. Michael Lateiner

At Imagination Design Studios, there really is something for everyone, and we happily work within your budget! There is affordable pediatric office decor available to you. Contact our Creative Consultants to explore the best options for your office, your space, and your budget.

At IDS, our wall murals are the cornerstone of our themed office designs, forming immersive landscapes where our 3D characters come to life. Let’s take a closer look behind the scenes with Chris, the head of our mural department, to learn how these striking murals are created!

We’ll match it, ensuring your custom wall mural aligns seamlessly with your office’s aesthetics.

Innovative 2D-to-3D Mural Designs

One of the most exciting parts of mural creation at IDS is the integration of 2D to 3D murals. We collaborate closely with our sculptors to design unique 3D characters that seem to leap out of their 2D mural counterparts. These illusions work beautifully in smaller spaces like treatment rooms or hallways, creating a cool wall decor feature that captivates patients and visitors alike.

Durable and Vibrant Office Murals

All our murals are printed on high-quality vinyl sheets and laminated with a UV-resistant coating to ensure fade-resistant colors and long-lasting durability. This protective layer makes them easy to clean, scratch-resistant, and ideal for high-traffic areas like dental offices or therapy rooms.

But murals aren’t just for walls. Our custom graphics can be applied to doors, windows, benches, cupboards, and other surfaces to create a cohesive look throughout your workspace. Whether it’s door decals or custom graphics for furniture, these additional touches enhance the overall design and functionality of your office.

Use Dental Education Stations to Engage Patients While They Wait

JUMP TO SECTION

Send & Share

Educating patients, especially children, requires creativity, expertise, and a deep understanding of how to make learning both fun and memorable. At Imagination Design Studios (IDS), our dental education stations bring interactive learning to life, transforming your office into a space where patients of all ages can engage with important dental concepts.

Production Manager April, an expert in designing museum displays and engaging educational activities, leads the charge in creating these captivating stations. With her background in designing focal points that attract attention, building safe interactive environments, and making education fun, she ensures that every education station is impactful and durable.

Here Are the Questions I Ask Myself During Every Project We Create Here at IDS:

Will the target audience be engaged and find it appealing?
Is the content clear and are the learning outcomes relevant to what you want to express?
Is it durable, safe, and robust enough to handle children?
If there are moving parts or any electronics, is there a plan for ongoing maintenance?

Part of the education we provide is through interactive displays and education stations. These are a great way to engage both children and adults and can be a fun way to draw people in for a more appealing and memorable dental experience.

Our latest tool for helping dentists educate patients is the Education Station. Whether it’s a feature in your waiting room, or a dedicated educational room filled with different stations that teach various aspects of dental care, there is a lot we can teach young patients about their teeth.

What Are Dental Education Stations?

Education stations are interactive tools designed to engage children and adults, making dental education an enjoyable and memorable experience. Whether they’re placed in your waiting room or set up in a dedicated education area, these stations help teach young patients about their teeth in ways they might never experience at home.

Key Features of IDS Dental Education Stations

IDS designs custom dental education stations to suit your office’s theme and space. These stations include:

Giant Mouth Models: Children learn proper brushing and flossing techniques using oversized toothbrushes.
Interactive Cavity Displays: Hands-on stations let kids touch and smell giant teeth with stinky cavities, creating a memorable learning moment.
Microscopes with Plaque Samples: Real plaque is shown up close, paired with illustrated graphics explaining why oral hygiene matters.
Custom Quiz Apps: Digital quizzes test patients’ dental knowledge in a fun and interactive way.

These tools combine sensory experiences—like touch, smell, and visual aids—with hands-on tutorials and engaging games, appealing to diverse learning styles and age groups.

Designing Interactives That Are Strong Enough for Kids

Children are curious, energetic, and often rough with interactive displays, so durability is non-negotiable. That’s why we design education stations with high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail.

Questions like “What is the best case to protect this tablet’s screen?” or “What size screws ensure maximum stability?” guide our process. By focusing on these details, we ensure that every element of your interactive display can withstand daily use while delivering your educational message effectively.

Our designs prioritize:

Ease of Maintenance: Moving parts and electronics are built with maintenance in mind, minimizing downtime.

Safety: All components are tested to ensure they’re safe for children.

Durability: Materials are chosen to resist wear and tear, ensuring your investment lasts.

Why Choose IDS for Dental Education Stations?

At IDS, we specialize in creating custom educational displays that transform offices from mundane to magical. Our focus on combining interactive learning with durable design makes us the ideal partner for crafting an engaging and educational patient experience.

By adding dental education stations to your office, you:

Enhance patient engagement.
Make dental visits less intimidating for children.
Reinforce important oral hygiene habits in a fun way.

Let’s Transform Your Office Together

Whether you’re looking to add a single interactive feature or completely revamp your office with a suite of dental education stations, IDS is here to help. From design to installation, we’ll ensure your office becomes a place where education meets inspiration.
