Tustin Heights Orthodontics
Orthodontics · Tustin, CA
The design brings the calm of a mountain trail indoors for a practice that treats kids and adults alike. A geometric mountain-and-pine mural runs the length of the open treatment bay, framed park-style landscape prints line the corridor, and repeated arches soften every clinical edge into something closer to a lodge than an office.
Sage and mint layered over crisp white, with wood-plank flooring warming every room. The curved reception desk is fronted in fluted white oak, echoed at the twin-mirror brushing station; patterned blue-and-white tile and cove lighting that washes the arches in a soft glow finish the palette.



A family-centered Central Orange County market — natural territory for pediatric, orthodontic, and family practices.
What makes dental practice design different
Operatory flow
We plan operatory pods around the sterilization core so your team moves in short, logical paths all day.
Equipment coordination
Chairs, imaging, plumbing, and electrical are coordinated with your vendors early — built right the first time.
Infection control
Finishes are specified to clean easily and meet clinical standards without looking sterile.
Patient calm
Warm materials, sightlines, and layered lighting lower anxiety from the front door to the chair.
Licensing & permitting in California
Practices in California are licensed through the Dental Board of California. California requires a licensed contractor (CSLB) for the build, and tenant-improvement permits are issued by each city or county building department — so the path varies by jurisdiction. We design with the local plan-check and California's accessibility (CBC/ADA) requirements in mind from day one.
