Dr. Katherine Opie-Smith, a dedicated dental practitioner, had been serving the community of Dulwich Village for many years from a surgery in her home at 112 Dulwich Village.
Known for her high-quality personal care and strong community connections, Dr. Opie-Smith envisioned expanding her services by establishing a new squat practice in the area—a fresh build from the ground up.
Her aim was to transform an old, Grade II listed Barclays Bank building into a state-of-the-art dental practice that would combine advanced dental technology with a welcoming, patient-centered atmosphere.
This new squat practice would serve as a hub for high-quality dental care in Dulwich Village, housing four surgeries, an advanced CBCT imaging suite and fully compliant, modern facilities.
It would uphold the legacy of her previous practice while scaling up to offer enhanced services to the community.
Eclipse Dental was entrusted with the dental specialist fit-out for The Old Bank, a choice made due to our comprehensive in-house services, which ensured minimal disruption, efficient coordination and high-quality results for squat practice builds.
Our task was to integrate a complete suite of equipment and services that would make the new space patient-friendly and aligned with Dr. Opie-Smith’s vision.
To bring the new practice to life, we equipped it with:Our experienced project management team coordinated seamlessly with the builder handling the main renovations, allowing us to focus on the critical dental infrastructure and technology installation.
Every aspect of the fit-out was executed with meticulous attention to long-term efficiency, patient comfort and regulatory compliance, ensuring that The Old Bank Dental Practice would open as a well-equipped, high-performance squat practice.
The Old Bank Dental Practice opened its doors as a transformed, high-tech facility, harmonising modern dental capabilities within a heritage building and serving as a new, purpose-built squat practice for Dulwich Village.
With four surgeries outfitted with industry-leading equipment and a dedicated imaging suite, Dr. Opie-Smith’s practice is now equipped to deliver advanced dental care while maintaining the personal touch her patients know and value.
The efficient, high-quality implementation maximised operational efficiencies and set a new benchmark for patient experience and service delivery in the community.
