Entry period for 2024 Design Innovation Awards ends Aug. 16

Remodel, new build, large new build categories open for dental practice competition

Have you built or remodeled your practice in the past three years?

If so, show off the fruits of your labor through the ADA Design Innovation Awards.

The ADA, ADA Member Advantage and Panacea Financial, the contest sponsors, are seeking entries starting June 17 through Aug. 16 for the 2024 Design Innovation Awards, a competition that showcases the best dental practices in esthetic appeal, function and design.

Association members are encouraged to submit entries for the remodel, new build and large new build (over 2,000 square feet) categories.

Judges will be looking for how the dental facility demonstrates an interesting or innovative use of space and color, with an eye towards function and a design that enhances the patient and staff experience.

A judging panel of dentists and industry experts will select three finalists from each category. Votes will be cast online to determine the winners, who will receive a $1,000 prize and be showcased in ADA publications.

Winners will be announced in November.

The 2023 winner in the new build category was Central Texas Periodontics in Georgetown, Texas. The large new build winner was Bennett Family Dentistry in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. NKC Dental in North Kansas City, Missouri, earned the top spot in the remodel category.
