Plastic covered the exterior windows of Thirty Two & You Family Dental in Denison until Friday of last week, but the office has been open for business since May 1.
“There was still a little bit of work to do on the outside of the building, but the inside is up and running,” said owner Dr. Ryan Bygness, D.D.S.
Business was brisk from the first day, Bygness said. “We thought about scheduling a light week for a trial run, but a lot of patients wanted to get in and we were all ready just to get to work,” he said.
Thirty Two & You Family Dental is a full-service family dental practice that provides a full range of professional family dental care for patients of all ages, including orthodontics (braces). Bygness has 20 years of experience as a dentist and more than five years of experience in orthodontic treatment.
Construction of the Thirty Two & You Family Dental office, which encompasses the total area of two large business spaces in Denison’s uptown business district, began in November 2016. The dental office has four functional treatment rooms that feature television sets and treatment chairs equipped with heat and massage functions. Four additional finished spaces will be outfitted as treatment rooms in the future.
Patients of Thirty Two & You are greeted by a large lobby, which features comfortable chairs, couches, tables, a beverage center with complimentary bottled water and a Keurig coffee maker. Wi-Fi and USB phone charging stations are provided for patients.
An area for private consultation is available just outside the lobby, as is a private billing/payment area. “We want to make sure our patients are comfortable with every aspect of their visit here,” Bygness said.
Thirty Two & You has an on-site lab for processing dental impressions and other work, an x-ray room and a dedicated sterilization center. Multiple offices and a large break room for employees fill out the space.
Bygness noted that Thirty Two & You will be open until 6 p.m. on Mondays to accommodate people’s schedules.
