Designing Dental Surgeries That Work: How We Bring Every Practice to Life 

At Anthos Australia, we know that great dental surgery design is about more than floorplans and fit-outs; it’s about how the space works for you, your team, and your patients. 

 For over 40 years, we’ve partnered with dentists across Australia to deliver surgeries that are not only beautiful but built for performance. Whether it’s a new surgery, a single-room upgrade or a full-scale refurbishment, we help bring your ideas to life with innovative design, premium equipment, and the workflow detail that makes a difference every day. 

 We don’t just supply equipment; we help shape the spaces it lives in, creating the experiences your patients expect from their dental visits today and into the future. 

1. Starting Your Dental Fitout: From Ideas to Functional Layouts 

Whether you’re launching a new clinic or rethinking an existing one, the first step is turning your ideas into a layout that actually works. 

Most dentists come to us with a plan already in place, often developed by a builder or architect. For smaller projects, we’ll sometimes sketch the space ourselves, using your vision as a guide. 

From there, we help shape the layout into more than just a blueprint. It becomes a space that supports your workflow, feels good to work in, and sets the tone for the patient experience. 

2. Custom Dental Surgery Layouts Built Around Your Workflow 

Every dental practice is different, so every layout we create is custom. Using CAD software and DWG files, we map out the finer details of your space—from chair placement and cabinetry to X-ray units and sterilisation zones. 

This digital design process lets us work to scale, refine spatial relationships, and test multiple layouts before anything is built. It helps us identify clearances, streamline workflow, and ensure compliance, all while tailoring the space to suit your day-to-day operations. 

We take the time to understand your procedures, how your team moves, and how patients experience the space. Then we design a layout that supports your clinical goals from the start. 

3. From Plans to Practice: Real Projects, Real Results 

We’ve supported dental practices across Australia, from major capital cities to fast-growing regional centres, bringing a tailored, high-performance approach to every space. 

In Launceston, Tasmania, we helped shape a multidisciplinary wellness clinic that integrates advanced dentistry with skin health and bioregulatory care. In Geelong, we supported a family-focused practice extension that balanced modern upgrades with a familiar, community feel. 

Some projects focus on full digital integration and chairside technology. Others prioritise calm aesthetics, soft movement paths and intuitive zoning across multiple operatories. In every case, we work closely with the dentist and builder to ensure the space functions as beautifully as it looks. 

Wherever your practice is based, city, coast or region, we design around what you need now and how you want to grow.  

4. Designing for Today’s Dental Patient Experience 

Today’s patients expect more than just treatment; they notice how your space looks, feels and flows. A well-designed surgery can help ease nerves, build trust and create a more positive experience from the moment they walk in. 

That’s why we support practices to go beyond functionality. We help create spaces that feel calm, modern and considered, without compromising on clinical standards. 

Whether you’re working with an interior designer or need help finding one, we can collaborate to make sure your surgery reflects your brand and values, while delivering the clinical performance your team needs. 

5. Infection Control That’s Built In From the Start 

Infection control is one of the clearest ways to show patients you care, and we design for it from day one.Every Anthos chair includes built-in hygiene features like handpiece rinsing and hydraulic system sanitisation, with optional systems like waterline disinfection (W.H.E.), deep-cycle flushing (BIOSTER), and suction line cleaning (A.C.V.S.) available as your needs grow. 

These modular, plug-and-play kits integrate seamlessly with your workflow, reducing turnaround time and delivering consistent, visible hygiene that builds patient trust. 

Whether installed during your fitout or added later, we’ll help you choose the right setup to support smarter, safer care.  

6. One Size Doesn’t Fit All 

Aside from core requirements like a sterilisation room and wheelchair access, there are no fixed templates at Anthos. Every surgery we design is different because every dentist we work with is different. 

Some want minimalism and digital integration. Others need high-capacity treatment rooms and robust workflows across multiple disciplines. We design for it all, adapting to your procedures, your technology, and the way you prefer to operate.
