Detail from the 2016 acrylic series. Yes, it did begin with a figurative study. A lot of people who don’t understand abstraction don’t realize often artist who create strong abstractions have a large drawing background. My artistic development contains a major emphasis on drawing and the human figure. I just got to a point where I needed a new kind of exploration. My art is constantly moving and changing.

On till September 29th 11am - 4pm at the Gallery Lounge, Artsmill. Wednesday - Sunday. For more information go to http://www.artsmill.org

Tell us about you and your work?

I am a self taught artist, ie I haven't been to art school. My background is actually in yoga, meditation and dance and movement practices, which are also my main inspiration for my painting. My work is focused around the expression of the human body, particularly in movement, and is inspired by my dance and yoga practices. I work instinctively from the love of colour, light and all that is free and spontaneous about human life.

What is your creative process?

I try to capture the movement and expression of the human body with the flow of paint and brush.

I work almost exclusively in oils, in a free and spontaneous style. I love experimenting with colour, again in a spontaneous and expressive way.

What will be available to buy at your show?

Original work will be on sale at my exhibition, most pieces are also available as greetings cards and prints.

Importance of a Comfortable Dental Clinic

 Many individuals avoid or dislike visiting the dentist for a number of reasons. Some associate a dental visit with pain while others think it’s not necessary to have a regular checkup. The list may go on but our team of expert dentists guarantees to provide a comfortable and high-quality service at affordable prices. Apart from our professional expertise, we utilise cutting-edge tools and up-to-date technologies to ensure our patients are relaxed and comfortable as possible. 

However, the comfort we are talking about does not only go for our patients, but also for the dentists and staff as well. Our job can be physical as we perform different kinds of treatments for our clients throughout the day. These treatments require a variety of posture, positioning, and movements that could lead to exhaustion and muscle fatigue. That’s why aside from utilising state of the art dental equipment, a well-designed dental clinic is a priority.

 Importance of A Comfortable Dental Clinic 

It’s a universal concept how the perfect marriage of comfort and aesthetics can bring positive results. Dentists in Southport are well aware of this because a pleasantly looking and functional clinic drives people in, thus, increases productivity. Below are more reasons why you should create a comfortable yet stylish clinic: 

o   Reduces Anxiety In The Patient

Pain and discomfort is often associated with dental visits. As a result, countless patients refrain from visiting one. Well, we can’t blame them, especially when a patient had a traumatic childhood experience or heard a bad story from a friend or family. At ArtSmiles, we care for our patients. If the situation relates to you, we will help you be at ease by having an open discussion about your dental history. By doing this, we can personalise your experience to ensure your comfort. Another reason for anxiety can be how the dental clinic can feel and smell too different patients. Seeing weird looking dental instruments and hearing the sound of a whirring machine, all trigger anxiety and discomfort. 

That’s why it’s important to have a proper layout and floor plan. By making sure you have separated public areas such as receiving and waiting room from private service rooms, you can prevent such thing from happening. The sterilisation area, operating room, and office are ideally placed at the back of your clinic while areas where there’s public access should be at the front. This way, not only will your patients be comfortable, but also provides more room for staff, free from distraction. However, if you have an oddly shaped space, there are companies that can help dentists in Southport, Gold Coast in providing the right fit out for your dental clinic.

o   More Likely To Return

A clinic that doesn’t feel like a ‘clinic’ can help in increasing volume of patients. Having an inviting space, be it a dental clinic or any other space is a universal standard so there’s nothing to argue about that. However, it doesn’t just end with physical attributes, a satisfactory experience is vital as well for patients to return and become regulars. The quality of services a dental clinic provides should be attested by patients who had first-hand experience. And because we tick both, you can read a long list of overjoyed customers on our website.

 ArtSmiles is an advocate for beautiful healthy smiles and it shows through their oral health services in Southport. Our staffs are warm and helpful so you will feel relaxed the moment you walk into our clinic.

 o   Creates A Good First Impression

A thoughtfully designed dental clinic guarantees to leave a good lasting impression. From layout, lighting, decorations, and other interior design elements can create a subconscious sense of ease. Factoring in the impeccable customer service of staff, you don’t have to worry about the first and last thing patients will think about your clinic. Installing proper signages are proven to be helpful too so wrong turns and confusion can be avoided. However, when you have a naturally flowing and effortless clinic layout, patients are less likely to get confused.

 How To Create A Comfortable Clinic 

Since dentists in Southport perform procedures, they are prone to muscle fatigue and exhaustion. Good thing, there are collaborative techniques that can reduce stress and provide faster process for patients. To simply put, dentists have assistants that can help them with any service. Four hands work faster and more efficient which significantly reduces the time of treatment. However, facilitating one requires parameters that need to adhered: 

o   Minimise Unnecessary Exercise

The art of dentistry requires the precision work of hands. For this reason, a dentist in Southport and in other areas should minimise unnecessary actions. Repetitive motions and movements, prolonged uncomfortable hand positions and posture can strain the hand which could result to slower work and pain. This could also affect the accuracy of the dentist. To prevent this, dentists and assistants should work effectively. For instances when a dentist requires a specific tool, the assistant should offer the reach so the dentist can continue with the procedure without any distraction.

 Since complex operations often require an assistant, it’s vital for treatment rooms to have a proper layout. The space should have a sequential flow, allowing both professionals to perform their job and move around comfortably without obstructing or hampering the ongoing procedure. Apart from that, the patient should be seated comfortably and at an appropriate height level so dentists can have a better posture and position. The standard height should be where the tooth is leveled by the elbow or just few inches above.

 o   Factor In Size And Design

An ample amount of space is vital for both professionals to maneuver around the room. That’s why, as we mentioned, the design of the clinic has to be considered. Collaborative treatment rooms ideally have two entry ways, so the assistant can go in and out of the room whenever necessary. The patient should have a space that can be divided into four zones which include the area of the dentist, the assistant, the transfer zone, and the stationary zone.

 o   Selection Of Dental Units

Ergonomically designed dental clinic requires for a proper dental unit. This also includes the unit’s operating tools, components, accessible cabinets, patient’s chair, and fixed cabinets to make sure that no challenges will complicate the procedure’s objectives.

 Although you have to keep in mind that dental equipment are not universal, it can be adapted to different dexterities such professionals who are left-handed and right-handed, varying dental specialties, operational design, and more. The correct position when using the tools and devices at an appropriate distance.

 o   Consider Music

Music is known to be a universal language. Regardless of age, taste, belief and how diverse we are, it will always connect people and ultimately provides entertainment. Notice how a boring day can be liven up with upbeat music? Or how relaxed you can get when you play ambient, mellow music? Well, imagine infusing that into your dental clinic. Not only will it keep the other patients entertained, those who are scared can potentially be calmer and be ready for the treatment you’re about to conduct.

 At ArtSmiles, we provide a client-centric service that aims to give patients a pleasant experience. Our dentists in Southport understand how music is vital to our daily living by easing stress. It is the very reason why offer noise cancelling headphones for our patients who gets uncomfortable when a whirring sound is heard.

 o   Consider Olfactory Senses

Ever wonder why stores and malls generally smell so good? Perhaps, how you remember a happy moment through scent? Well, it’s because big part of the consumer’s behavioural responses is associated with sensory, especially smell. It’s been backed up by science how a scent can be a stimulus to trigger a positive effect on a consumer’s activities. According to a study, it targets the emotional aspect of consumers, leading to a resonating feeling and an urge to revisit the place.
