The NPTeam Designers were the pioneers of computer-assisted design in the North American dental industry.
Furthermore, in order to improve the clarity and readability of plans, the National Planning Team developed its own graphic standards and improved design software. Their technology has been widely recognized as the best in dental office planning and design and has become the team's trademark. In 1993, the NPTeam became an independent entity, while the company still maintains a key client relationship with Patterson Dental Canada. Since their inception, the National Planning Team has provided services to customers in all ten Canadian provinces and territories, 16 U.S. states and more than 14 countries worldwide. Their impressive portfolio boasts the design of over 28,000,000 square feet of dental office space! |
The NPTeam Designers“At NPTeam, we strongly believe in the principle of "form follows function" when designing dental offices. Therefore, our designs focus on prioritizing the tasks performed within the office. We understand that the ergonomics of the work environment, such as smooth circulation, efficient workstations, and overall productivity, are crucial to creating a modern dental office.Over the years, our team has handled thousands of planning projects that required creative and unique solutions. Our ultimate aim is to create a functional, profitable, and welcoming environment that promotes the health and safety of practitioners, staff, and patients alike.” |

“Don’t blow it –good planets are hard to find.” Time Magazine There is a whole world outside of the dental field, we all know that. Unfortunately it isn’t perfect; it needs to be improved seriously and quickly before it is too late. We all need to act: individually, collectively, or corporately. This is why we try to do our share to help make the world a better place to live. Look around and take action. |
