Service Package for Meerhof dental kliinik
About the Customer
Meerhof Dental Kliinik is a dental clinic in Tallinn which offers dental treatment and maintenance. Its main activities include implantation, aesthetic restoration and prosthetics, root canal treatment and hygiene. The clinic was founded and is managed by three highly qualified doctors who strive to propel Meerhof Dental Kliinik to the top position among the best dental clinics in Estonia.
This goal can be achieved if several crucial requirements are met:
Tasks Set Before UX GENIUS
Corporate Identity Development
Idea:
Creating a unique style and a memorable logo. The client wished to use brown color which is quite extraordinary for medical theme where conventional colors are white and different shades of blue and green.
Implementation:
Our designer suggested 3 different variants of the logo concept at the first stage.
Then, a brainstorm session and discussion with the customer were held based on the concepts. As a result, the final look of the logo appeared that combined “M”, the first letter of the brand name, and a tooth outline. This unique combination allowed both representing the clinic’s field of activities and evoking associations with its name by a single symbol.
Concept and Shape:
Font:
Experiments in choosing the font for the name “Meerhof” led us to Annabelle, an exquisite cursive font.
The clear and sharp outer lines of the main sign represent the purposefulness and determination. The delicate rounded outlinesof the name signify flexibility in dealing with patients meaning that the clinic gives attention to their circumstances and requests.
Under the name “Meerhof” we have placed the indication of the clinic’s field of activities using a clear broad font which signifies the brand’s reliability and solid foundation. These are the definitions which can be used to describe the doctors’ high level of professionalism and the core values their business is based on.
Color and Texture:
Psychological researches of the impact of colors on human conscious and subconscious mind show that people associate wood and the brown color with the sense of coziness and security. We suggested a set of colors and shades which can be successfully used in the corporate identity. Moreover, the use of this color scheme in the dental theme visually distinguishes Meerhof Dental Kliinik among others.
Business cards, accessories, signboards:
Based on the corporate identity, UX GENIUS developed the design of the things that the clinic needs in its everyday work.

Request Forms
Unique Content for the Website
Objective
Since doctors at Meerhof Dental Kliinik are passionate about their lifework, creation of unique content was an essential requirement for the website. For UX GENIUS it means that
- “Real” photos should be used instead of stock ones
- Infographics should be in conformity with the corporate identity
- Texts should not only be interesting and SEO optimized, they should also be correct in terms of dentistry
- The text quality should be consistent in three languages: Russian, Estonian and English
Implementation
Photo Content
In order to obtain high quality photos, we engaged a professional photographer who made wonderful photo material: the medical staff and patients visiting doctors, the clinic interior scenes and pictures of the setting. It should be noted that some of the pictures were provided by Igor Tkachenko, the clinic’s medical director, who also took part in compiling photo materials for the website.
Texts
The articles describing services rendered by Meerhof Dental Kliinik were written by a professional copywriter who is also a practicing anesthesiologist. It was the medical education and writing experience that became the key factors when designating a copywriter for the project.
When creating the text content, the editor and the copywriter considered the following factors:
- The target audience profile
- Presenting information in an interesting, well-structured and understandable manner
- Balance between medical terms and generally comprehensible vocabulary
- Reasonable use of keywords
Meerhof Dental Kliinik’s doctors provided expert advice when the copywriter was writing articles about some specific services. Each dentist offered consultations to UX GENIUS on his or her focus area.
Translation
It was essential not only to translate texts from Russian into Estonian and English correctly, but to make the translations look natural for native speakers. Therefore, we engaged an Estonian language philologist and an English language translator having experience in dealing with medical texts.
Besides, semantic units being keywords were taken into consideration. This gives additional advantages to the website for being ranked high by search engine robots which means higher chances to be at the top of the search results (SEO).
Examples of Texts
For a company providing high quality services or products, it is crucial to present itself properly in society and on the Internet.
