Located in Brandon, Manitoba, Smiles Specialty Centre is the dream of husband and wife team, Dr. Trudy Corbett and Dr. Jeff Bales. When they decided to combine their periodontic and orthodontic practices under one roof, they wanted to ensure that their objectives were met for the interior of the facility. So, the design concept began from the inside out, with the interior design dictating how the exterior of the building would be built.
The doctors wanted to ensure that they created a welcoming, spacious environment, maximize natural light and optimize patient flow.
At Smiles Specialty Centre, patients are number one; from the well-appointed treatment rooms, spa- cious and welcoming reception and waiting areas, beautiful beverage centre, children’s play area and kid’s games room equipped with bubble hockey and PlayStations.
The incorporation of full digital radiography has significantly reduced patient exposure to radiation. With full computerization of the facility, patient scheduling and insurance submission are streamlined and this feature has also opened the door for endless patient education opportunities.
Both doctors are strong fitness advocates and wanted to ensure that they were looking out for the physical health of their team with the addition of a fully equipped gym. A conference room has increased the ease by which they can provide continuing seminars to the dental community.
With the creation of this exceptional facility, the vision of Drs. Corbett and Bales “to provide the ultimate in patient care in a state of the art facility with service second to none” has become a reality.
