Interior redesign for Helen Zongas dental practice, ‘Dentessence’ in Sydney’s CBD.

Since establishing her practice in 1998, Helen's philosophy is to provide a dental experience that is personal, professional and enjoyable.

Reflecting Helen's holistic approach to dentistry, gold was the obvious colour choice for the surgery's interior.

Gold is known to stabilise the emotional system, alleviate tension and stress, and to amplify positive feelings. It radiates a warm, soothing energy vibration that is nourishing to the body and aids healing.

Timorous Beasties' Old Gold fresco wallpaper takes centre stage in reception. It’s bold, earthy richness creates a welcoming environment, illuminating and enhancing everything around it.

Blackened chocolate walls, black gloss chandeliers, honey-coloured upholstered leather chairs and Turkish oxide sheers add multiple layers of texture, sophistication and elegance to the space, giving it a sensuous, masculine, club lounge feel.

This is juxtaposed with a whimsical, abstract floral, custom-designed carpet, which delivers softness, freshness and simplicity; evoking femininity and purity.

The result is a restful and inspiring ambience that promotes we-being for the visitors, patients and employees in a workplace that is elegant and functional - artfully reflecting the values of this unique dental practice.
