One partner, from first plan to working practice.
Apex delivered the Artane practice for dentistry.ie as a single, coordinated project — from the first clinical layout through to a fully equipped, working practice. Four treatment surgeries, an on-site OPG imaging suite and a dedicated decontamination room sit around a central reception and waiting area, with the plant, electrical intake and support spaces zoned away from patient areas.

Designed
We planned the practice around a clear patient journey — reception and waiting at the centre, four surgeries and the imaging suite within easy reach, and the decontamination, plant and electrical rooms kept clear of patient areas.
Equipped
Four dental chairs, on-site OPG X-ray imaging, decontamination equipment and the suction and compressor plant were supplied, installed and commissioned as one coordinated setup.
Maintained
With installation complete, the practice moves into an ongoing servicing relationship to help keep every surgery performing, day after day.
