The Outstanding New Dentist Practice award specifically acknowledges the best new, remodeled or expanded facility for the first practice owned by a doctor who has graduated from dental school within the past 10 years in the U.S. Ellis Dental was the only practice in the state of Missouri honored by the entire competition, which also included awards for outstanding design innovation, specialty practice design and dental office of the year.

“We received many exceptional entries this year and were thrilled to see such thoughtful and impressive work,” Gavin Shea, senior director of sales and marketing, Wells Fargo Practice Finance said. “We congratulate Dr. Ellis and the entire team at Ellis Dental on this impressive win.”
Ellis Dental is located at 10296 Big Bend Boulevard in Southwest St. Louis County in more than 3,100 square feet of uniquely designed space which was completed in August 2015. When constructing the office, Ellis Dental engaged the renowned Unthank Design Group, whose founder, Dr. Michael Unthank, is both an architect and dentist. This collaboration allowed Ellis Dental to create an optimal atmosphere unlike any other in the metro area, to serve the needs of both its patients and its staff.
In addition, Ellis designed the new forward-thinking space to serve the needs of her practice for years to come. From the flow of the office and up-to-date technology, to the ergonomics and the images on the walls, no detail was overlooked. During the planning phase, Ellis spent nearly 18 months touring dental offices throughout the country to incorporate best-practices and plan for future growth.
