Henderson This Townie, who practices in southeast Washington state, won the 2019 ADA Design Innovation Award for renovating a former chiropractic office into a 3,200-square-foot dental practice. Henderson’s practice subverts typical office design thanks to a digital workflow, which means the lab and mill can be close to patient treatment rooms without worry about noise or visible mess—and required fewer changes or disruptions when COVID-19 aerosol protocols were introduced
