About Us
Our Story
Paradigm Design Solutions is the leading dental practice and surgery designer in the UK. The team, headed up by Gavin Willis, combines a wide range of skills with an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of dental practice protocol and workflow.
The experience gained from working with practices large and small has resulted in Paradigm, not only being able to increase the efficiency of its Clients through the optimum use of available space, but also provide a support service that will help the practice grow and sustain its profitability.
The Paradigm team offers its clients a genuinely unique service, bespoke to their particular requirements. Investing the time you need and we need to understand those requirements is one of the key differences between Paradigm and its competitors.
As a result, our solutions are not simply creative and innovative but designed to help you deliver better dentistry in an environment that is both practical and relaxing. For you, your staff and your patients.
Turnkey Project Stages
Paradigm offer a turnkey solution, without taking a commission.
Our turnkey solution streamlines the process with a single point of contact, saving time, reducing stress, and ensuring seamless, high-quality results, meaning you can focus on doing what you do best.
Design
The foundations of a successful project
Building
Be sure about what's included in your costs
Concept design for a dental practice forms the foundation for a successful business. A private practice should offer a premium experience, not just feel like an NHS practice with a new price list.
Paradigm ensures you understand the value you’re receiving from your potential building contractors. We connect you with experienced builders who deliver quality work, all without taking a commission on these services.
Building costs are often a significant expense, and it can be challenging to gauge the value being provided.
Paradigm establishes clear standards and specifications, ensuring those tendering meet a high quality level and enabling fair comparison of their bids. Our design team's attention to detail minimises the risk of unexpected extra costs at the end of the project.
Project Admin
Leave the administration to the professionals
Avoid the temptation to manage the project yourself. Focus on dentistry and leave project administration to a professional who can handle technical queries and address the inevitable challenges that arise during construction.
Equiptment
Flexibilty to choose your preferred brand
While Paradigm doesn’t sell dental equipment, we’re happy to connect you with our trusted suppliers, and again, we don’t take commissions for this. This gives you the freedom to negotiate terms for your preferred brand, while we collaborate with them to ensure the project runs smoothly, on time, and to an exceptional standard.
Specialist Cabinets
An integrated storage and delivery system, specifically for denistry.
Paradigm takes pride in designing bespoke specialist cabinets and fittings for dentistry, available as an optional addition to our design package. We don’t provide generic cupboards and drawers; instead, we create customised storage and delivery systems tailored to your practice’s specific needs.
We are particularly skilled in designing multi-surgery practices, where careful stock management is essential to optimise cash flow and reduce the need for borrowing.
