Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about remodeling a dental office?
The systems behind the walls. Vacuum, compressed air, dedicated plumbing to each operatory, lead shielding where required for imaging, and the electrical for chairs and equipment all have to be laid out before finishes are even discussed.
Can you build while the practice keeps seeing patients?
Often yes, by phasing operatories and working after hours. Dust and noise containment matter more here than on almost any other job, and we plan for it as part of the schedule.
Do you coordinate with the equipment supplier?
Yes. Chair, imaging and vacuum manufacturers each publish rough-in requirements, and we build from those specs so the equipment drops into place when it arrives.
How far in advance should we plan?
Three to six months before you want to be treating patients in the new space. Plan review for medical and dental uses takes longer, and equipment lead times are frequently the limiting factor.
