Why Clinical-Grade Dental Cabinets Matter:
What to Know Before You Build or Renovate

September 2, 2025

If you're designing or upgrading your dental practice, cabinetry might not be the first thing you think about—but it should be. Dental cabinets do more than store supplies. They directly impact your daily workflow, infection prevention strategy and patients’ perception of your space.

At Midmark, we engineer cabinetry to work as hard as you do. Our two cabinetry collections—Synthesis® and Artizan® Expressions—are purpose-built for the dental environment and backed by a 10-year limited warranty. Whether you're setting up a sterilization center or an operatory, we offer clinical-grade solutions that help you practice better dentistry.

Built to Perform in the Sterilization Center: Synthesis Cabinetry

Synthesis cabinetry leads the way in high-traffic, high-risk areas like sterilization centers. Why? Because it’s engineered for durability, infection control and efficiency.

• Steel core durability helps withstand the heavy daily use of sterilization workflows.
• Seamless polystyrene drawers and nonporous thermofoil panels make surfaces easy to clean and resistant to spills, chemical degradation and delamination.
• Heavy-duty, solid surface Corian® slide-out shelves in the sterilization tower provide strong, moisture-resistant support up to 200 lb and offer easy access to your equipment.
• Layout options are designed to support the 5-Step Infection Prevention Workflow, enhancing clinical safety and efficiency at every stage—from receiving and cleaning to packaging and storing.
• Options like gravity-fed, angled flow-shelving, bins and dividers improve visibility and access to supplies—especially in clean storage areas where quick access matters most.

Elevating the Operatory Experience: Artizan Expressions Cabinetry

In the operatory, your cabinetry needs to blend performance with aesthetics. That’s where Artizan Expressions excels.

• Designed to harmonize modern aesthetics and clinical functionality, Artizan cabinetry helps create a welcoming environment for patients while supporting the demands of a busy operatory.
• Highly customizable layouts and finishes allow you to tailor each operatory to your workflow and brand.
• A steel sub-base and medical-grade surfaces support infection control without compromising design.

Improving Ergonomics: Wall-Hung Cabinetry

According to recent statistics from CareerExplorer, 96% of the nation’s dental hygienists are female,1 according to the ADA, 51.6% of dental school graduates in 2021 were female,2 and population statistics state the average female height in the US is 5'4".3 Why does it matter? Many standard cabinets are too tall or too deep for a 5-foot-four-inch person to easily see and access available storage, contributing to stress and strain injuries.

Wall-hung cabinets with a shorter upper height and narrower depth can improve access to storage with less reach and lean required. With Midmark Synthesis and Artizan Expressions Wall-Hung Cabinetry, you can choose from multiple configurations designed to improve reach and increase ergonomic storage while decreasing non-ergonomic storage in the same amount of space.
