ALFE LLC is a licensed Central Florida general contractor that builds and fits out dental offices and clinics across the greater Orlando area. Dental construction is one of the most systems-intensive commercial build types — every operatory is effectively a small medical procedure room — and it takes a contractor who understands dental plumbing, vacuum and air, medical gas and radiation shielding to deliver a clinic that passes inspection and opens on time.
Why dental office construction is specialized
Behind every clean, modern dental practice is a web of specialized infrastructure. We design and build around:
- Operatories — each chair needs water, drain, dental compressed air, suction/vacuum, dedicated power and data, roughed-in precisely to the equipment layout.
- Central compressed air & vacuum systems and the mechanical room that houses them.
- Nitrous oxide & oxygen (medical gas) installed and certified to NFPA 99.
- Lead-lined radiation shielding for X-ray, panoramic and CBCT rooms, engineered to Florida Department of Health requirements.
- Sterilization / CSR and lab areas with the right plumbing, casework and ventilation.
- HVAC with proper air exchanges, ADA-compliant layouts, and fire and life-safety systems.
What we build for dental clients
- Ground-up new dental offices and multi-operatory clinics
- Commercial build-outs and tenant improvements of leased space (vanilla box to finished practice)
- Operatory additions and practice expansions
- Full remodels and modernizations — see our dental office remodeling service
Every system under one licensed team
ALFE holds Florida General Contractor, Roofing and HVAC licenses, and medical gas and specialized plumbing are handled through our affiliated company, Blessed Solutions US LLC (NFPA 99 medical-gas certified). For a dental build that means the operatory plumbing, central air and vacuum, nitrous and oxygen lines, HVAC and radiology shielding are coordinated by one accountable team — a major advantage on a project where the trades have to be sequenced perfectly around your equipment vendor.
Permitting, code & your opening date
Dental offices must meet the Florida Building Code, ADA accessibility, fire and life-safety code, and Department of Health radiation rules for imaging rooms. Converting retail or office space to a dental use typically triggers a change-of-occupancy review, and you can’t see patients until final inspections and the Certificate of Occupancy are issued. We build the schedule backward from your target open date and manage permitting through the City of Orlando and surrounding county building departments.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle medical gas, nitrous and X-ray shielding for dental offices? Yes. Nitrous and oxygen are installed to NFPA 99 through our affiliated certified company, and imaging rooms are lead-shielded to Florida DOH requirements.
Can you build out a dental office in a leased shopping-center or office space? Yes — dental tenant build-outs are a core service, including all operatory rough-ins, central air/vacuum, HVAC and finishes.
How long does a dental build-out take? It varies with the number of operatories and the space, but the schedule is driven mostly by design, permitting and long-lead equipment — which is why we start those early.
Do you coordinate with our dental equipment vendor? Yes. We coordinate rough-ins and final connections around your chosen equipment and cabinetry so everything lands where it should.
