Call us for a free consultation. You are encouraged to ask us any questions and our sales team will ask you about your space, budget and theming ideas. After that, we’ll set up an online meeting to go in-depth with photos and further questions.
You can call us anytime; however, the earlier the better to ensure that deadline expectations are met. We recommend calling us at least 6 months to a year in advance depending on the scale of your building and the complexity of your theme.
If you are still in the development stage of your office, we can discuss theming ideas and begin sketching once you have floor plans.
No, it’s never too late to call us. At IDS, we do everything we can to meet your deadline. If your dental office is already up and running, we can create a date for a ‘grand opening’ or ‘theme reveal’ when your exciting, newly themed office is ready to show to the public.
All of our themed elements are custom built. Prices vary depending on design, scope and complexity. We have created themed spaces from $5,000 to over $800,000. At Imagination Design Studios, there is something for everyone, and we happily work within your budget.
Absolutely! We have experience in creating a wide range of themed environments including manufacturing 3D displays for retail locations, amusement parks, medical clinics, hospitals, and optometry offices.

Most of our clients finance their theming through local funders. IDS products can be included in your building cost, which makes talking to your bank easy. We recommend working with a local funder who will understand the long-term benefits of an investment in office theming. We also recommend working with Bank of America Practice Solutions as they are familiar with our products.
For orders under $5000 we accept Visa, Master Card, and PayPal.
Orders over $5000 can be paid by check or wire transfer.

Each office is unique and depending on the design, scope, and complexity of a project, the timeline can change significantly. Nonetheless, a typical office project at IDS takes 6 to 9 months from beginning to end.
Technology has enabled us to offer our services remotely, so a site visit is not necessary. Using the latest tech, you will feel like you are in our studio while we build your office theme. We make sure to stay connected through online meetings, phone calls, e-mails, and plenty of in-progress photos and videos.
We will guide you through every step of your office design process so you feel connected and confident that the work we do matches your vision, regardless of distance.
No! We design theming for any office size, large or small. We have created themed environments for offices ranging from 1100 sq/ft to 24,000 sq/ft.

There is very little maintenance necessary to keep a themed office looking great. A light dusting is all that is required to take care of 3D theming. All of our three-dimensional displays are protectively coated and our custom murals have a protective laminate allowing them to be spot cleaned with soap and water if necessary. If a more thorough cleaning is required, bleach can also be used on most products.
Yes. We will work directly and collaboratively with the other members of your project team.

Our custom props are made of lightweight foam with wood and steel for the internal structure. They are protected by a very durable hard shell and then finished with a high quality paint and clear coat. Smile Tiles, Wall Busters and Peek-a-Boo Tiles are made of a high quality resin.
Unlike our custom theming, our Insta-Theme products are pre-designed items that cannot be customized. These products are also easily installed without the help of the IDS Install team.
Insta-Theme products include Chew on This fun fact boards, Wild Welcome wipe off boards, Brushing Mirrors, and 3D accessories called Wallbusters and Smile Tiles.
This handy chart explains the difference between these two types of murals.
Express Wall Murals are an easy way to transform any size of space using an online tool that allows you to choose a specific section of mural to fit any wall. These murals come in our two most popular themes: jungle and underwater.
Express Murals are printed on a fabric-based material with adhesive backing that can be installed yourself. Our custom murals are printed on a laminated medical-grade vinyl that must be applied by a 3M certified installer.

Don’t just take our word for it though; hear it from those who know best - our clients.
Dental and medical office theming helps reduce patient anxiety and fear, and creates an environment that is not only inviting for children, but also exciting! Theming will attract new clients, keep current patients coming back, and will keep your staff enthusiastic about their jobs. If you recently graduated and are opening your first practice, office theming is an investment in your future.
Office theming is a fantastic opportunity to create a positive impact on a patient’s visit as well as stand out against competition. Theming can rejuvenate an older business, attract considerably more patients, and give you and your staff an enjoyable place to work every day. Theming an office with IDS is an investment, not an expense.
