This is the reception area which gives patients a great view of the busy Bloor Street West.  Watching the world go by while they are waiting for their appointment time is a great distraction.

This photo shows the “operatories” or the space where the patients have their work done.  Very open and light which give patients a much more comfortable feeling than the sterile-feeling rooms of the past.

A view looking down the hall toward the “operatories” as they are called in Toronto.  Certainly not like any dentist office from the “old days”.
