Dr. Imran Khan

As we all know, one of the key factors to maximizing the success of any new dental practice is choosing the right location. When Dr. Imran Khan was searching for new office possibilities, he knew the growth potential that would be forthcoming from the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, often referred to as a "city within a city". One of Dr. Khan's existing offices was already in the area, and he chose to add two more that would be in close proximity to one another. The doctor would be able to literally walk or ride his bike between these three practices.

Dr. Khan's Field Sales Consultant, Melissa De Lorenzi, cites exceptional teamwork as the driving force behind the success of the venues that were chosen. "Dr. Khan and I have had a relationship that spans a decade, and he had complete confidence in the services that Henry Schein would provide to him during these two projects," explains Melissa. "We went to view the locations together, walked through each space, and envisioned the possibilities of each clinic layout. We even measured out both of the offices while the buildings were still under various phases of construction." Today Dr. Khan is very proud of his two brand new clinics—York Street Dental and Infinity Dental. Both are stylishly decorated, each with their own unique theme and outfitted with cutting-edge equipment and technology.

Located in a condominium building that's positioned next to the Metro Convention Centre and the soon-to-be-completed Ripley's Aquarium, Infinity Dental was the first of the two offices to be completed and opened in October 2009. The office benefits from a high volume of foot traffic passing by each day, and many of the new patients are walk-ins. In addition, several condominiums and new construction projects are in progress that will add even more opportunity to the area over the next 5 years. Infinity Dental showcases an upscale "hotel lobby" theme with marble floors, Barcelona chairs, a fireplace, and Roman columns and arches with a multilevel barreled ceiling. Dr. Khan and his wife, Shanti, chose the finishes as the office was being built since there were not many off-the-shelf options that were available beforehand. For their color palette, shades of chocolate were used to complement these design elements and create a visually stunning and welcoming environment for patients. "One of my favorite parts of the office is the high, 14-foot ceilings," explains Dr. Khan. "They certainly give the clinic a spacious and grand appearance."

The modern aesthetics of Infinity Dental is not only present in the design of the facility, but is also reflected in the selection of their equipment and technology. Sirona C4+ treatment centers have been installed in each of the four operatories with mounted dual monitors. Sirona's XIOS Plus digital sensors, Orthophos XG5 digital pan, and Digital-Doc's IRIS intraoral cameras integrate seamlessly into this technology suite to provide highquality images that Dr. Khan uses during his consultations. "I've always liked the clean lines and engineering that has gone into the Sirona treatment centers," explains Dr. Khan. "All of the equipment we have further emphasizes the level of dental care our patients will receive."

Dr. Khan's second office, York Street Dental, is located on the ground floor of the busy TELUS Building, which is adjacent to the iconic Air Canada Centre–home of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors.

"Dr. Khan saw what other prospective clients did not in this very challenging space," recalls Melissa. "The location was ideal to service the corporate environment and booming condo developments. During construction, people were constantly asking when the new office would be accepting patients. Word-ofmouth had already spread like wildfire to develop what would later become a very healthy patient base."

York Street Dental opened its doors to the public in October 2010, and in this office, patients get to experience a contemporary, South Beach nightclub theme. Clean, black porcelain tiles, glass tile baseboards and, LED lighting bring an oasis-like feel to the space. A unique feature to the office is the ramped floors throughout. In fact, the building owners were unsure if they would be able to rent the space out because of this. Dr. Khan used these elevations to his advantage to create an interesting effect through the entire office, with ramps at different levels.

York Street Dental has six operatories that utilize a selection of equipment similar to that of Infinity Dental, as it's not uncommon for his staff to move from office to office. "I wanted to ensure that the equipment used in each location remained the same to ensure a smooth transition for my staff, allowing them to maintain their peak efficiency," explains Dr. Khan.

Both Dr. Khan and Melissa De Lorenzi are thrilled at the outcome of both offices. This team transformed two blank canvases into polished and technologically advanced dental offices that are in great locations for existing and future business. Moving forward, plans include adding operatories and hiring more clinical staff at each office. Dr. Khan and his staff are thrilled with the outcome of all of the design choices, paired with industry-leading technology. "We enjoy working in these modern facilities every day." he remarks. "Patients are elated and this makes us proud to provide them with a 'wow' experience that matches the appearance of the office."

"I absolutely love the aesthetics of both offices and am proud to have been able to partner with Dr. Khan for these two projects," says Melissa. "He and his wife put their own personal stamp on each practice, making them true showcases of what a modern dental practice can be."
