The acoustic conditioning of dental clinics with wood acoustic panels is the best way to guarantee the sound comfort of the dentist’s office. In these spaces, background noise can cause nerves, discomfort and stress. The use of wood acoustic panels not only improves the patients’ experience, who will feel more relaxed, but also provides workers with a more comfortable environment to carry out their work with greater concentration and efficiency.
Many dental clinics, due to their modern design and the use of materials such as glass, plastic coatings and smooth surfaces, present an acoustic problem: reverberation. Reverberation is that permanence of sound beyond what it should for correct hearing and understanding of the message. Explained in a more technical way, the “reverberation time” is the time that elapses until the energy received by the receiver decreases by 60 dB, once the sound emission source has stopped.
In an environment, such as a dental clinic, where effective communication is key, this phenomenon can be particularly problematic as it negatively affects hearing and understanding of the message, which can lead to misunderstandings between professionals and their patients.
The best way to control reverberation is by using sound-absorbing wood acoustic tiles or wood acoustic panels. These panels are specifically designed to reduce reverberation time and improve the acoustic quality of spaces. Thanks to their ability to absorb sound, wood panels help minimize the presence of noise in rooms, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment. Furthermore, these panels offer an aesthetic solution with numerous finish options, which allow their integration into the design of any clinic, providing a warm and natural touch.
