Enter your dental practice into the 2017 Incisal Edge Design Competition, as sponsored by Herman Miller, before the Sept. 9 deadline and let this castle’s owner (shown) be the judge.

David Bishop, DDS, will be among members of the juried panel from the dental and architectural worlds who will select America’s most striking practices. Each judge performs a comprehensive review of submissions, including practice photos and floor plans, along with explanations of how each attains a functional balance of design, operation, and technology.  Meet the blue ribbon panel of judges: https://thedailyfloss.com/2016/08/18/why-you-should-nominate-your-dental-practice-for-incisal-edge-design-competition-sponsored-by-herman-miller/

 

Dr. Bishop received his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio Dental School. While pursuing his education, he worked summers constructing houses with his uncle in Missouri, and later used these skills – along with his father’s assistance – to design and build from the ground up his dental office on Greenville Avenue in Allen, Texas. At The Dentist of Allen, which earned an Incisal Edge Design Award in 2014, the accomplished woodworker joined, cut, pegged, and constructed by hand (from 54,000 pounds of rough cut cypress; no metal whatsoever) the timber frame that can be viewed in the reception area.
