About the project
Bella Dentaire is one of the world’s largest and most advanced smile rehabilitation centers, a state-of-the-art clinic based in Montreal, Canada. From day one, this project pushed the limits of what a dental space could be. We brought together our full creative capacity, from architectural and interior design to brand experience, workflow strategy, and immersive digital layers, to reimagine dentistry as a fully integrated, human-centered journey.
The solution
We applied our signature organic architectural language to create a non-linear, emotion-driven spatial flow. Curves, lighting, and form intuitively guide patients through the space, removing signage, reducing friction, and introducing a new way of spatial storytelling. The space includes an in-house lab, smile lounge, cinematic consult room, photography studio, and a full digital workflow. Every moment was designed to reduce anxiety and elevate engagement, from the natural daylight-inspired luminous ceiling in the experience core, to a custom-built fish tank sculpted into the curves of the wall as an architectural feature. In parallel, we designed the brand identity and digital platform to reflect the same tone and aesthetics, seamless, fluid, and elevated, allowing users to explore the clinic, learn about treatments, and connect with the Bella Dentaire experience from anywhere. Lighting throughout was choreographed to shift with scenarios, creating immersive moods and softly guiding patients through their journey.





Results
Bella Dentarie is more than a clinic, it's a redefinition of care through architecture, experience, and design. Patients don't just visit; they arrive, explore, and feel. The result is a healing environment that feels more like a premium experience center than a medical facility, blending hospitality, innovation, and emotion into one spatial system. We led the full creative direction, architectural design, and experience design, with final detailing and millwork refinement by XY Contemporary.
