From one dentist’s name to a practice the whole family could own.

With Dr. Hansen’s daughter joining as co-owner, J. Hansen DDS needed a name and identity that represented an expanded team without abandoning decades of trust.

Bionic Egg renamed the practice Hansen Smiles and built a warmer, more inclusive system around it. The new identity balances medical credibility with the ease and humanity patients expect from a family practice.

Identity development

A smile hidden inside a precise monogram.

The custom H connects two letterforms with a soft diagonal gesture—an abstract smile that makes the mark distinctive without relying on predictable dental imagery.

Logo construction

Built with structure, softened by one human gesture.

Measured proportions give the monogram authority at signage scale while the diagonal smile remains recognizable in compact digital applications.

Earth tones make clinical care feel grounded.

The palette was designed to feel calm, credible and comfortable—warm enough for a family practice, disciplined enough for medical communication.

Practice materials

Recognition begins before the appointment.

Business cards, letterhead and envelopes extend the new identity into the everyday materials patients and partners actually hold.
