Dental lifestyle publication awards distinction in dental practice design in Colorado, Maryland, Michigan

Annually, Incisal Edge, the leading lifestyle magazine for dental professionals, offers an opportunity for national recognition through their outstanding office design competition. The magazine’s team canvasses doctors, architects, designers, and students for nominations across four categories, then turns it all over to the blue-ribbon panel of judges. This year’s competition ran from August 20 through November 28.

Today its award-winning practices are spotlighted in the publication’s spring issue, as published by Benco Dental. Mastermind design tips, judges’ commentary, award-winning floor plans and breathtaking imagery is available at: https://www.incisaledgemagazine.com/mag/article/the-2019-incisal-edge-design-competition/
