Dental clinics are some of the most detailed spaces we build. Every operatory needs the right services in exactly the right place, the sterilization area has to work like clockwork, and patients should feel relaxed the moment they come through the door.
Our dental work so far
Dentistry is a big part of our portfolio. We built Art Dental Clinic at 380 King Street North in Waterloo and the Erin Mills Dental Clinic at 6005 Erin Mills Parkway in Mississauga from the ground up, landscaping and exteriors included.
In Path Dental on Lakeshore Road West in Mississauga, Shore Breeze Dental on Lake Shore Boulevard West in Etobicoke and Plains Road Dental Clinic in Burlington each have their own character, from calm, open patient lounges to clean lines and plenty of natural light. Hurontario Medical Centre in Mississauga includes a five-room dental clinic alongside its physician clinics and pharmacy.
Planned around the operatory
The operatory is the heart of a dental office, and it's where most of the coordination happens. Chair positions decide where water, air, suction, drains and power come up through the floor. Imaging needs data and sometimes shielding. Cabinetry has to fit the equipment the dentist has chosen, not a generic layout.
We work from the equipment supplier's drawings and lock those locations down before the floor is poured or cut. It's the single biggest thing that separates a smooth dental build from a painful one.
Patients notice everything else
Clinical function comes first, but patients judge a clinic by how it feels. Natural light, quiet rooms, finishes that still look good after years of cleaning, and a reception area that doesn't feel like a waiting room. At Shore Breeze Dental, the reception and patient lounges were designed to set a relaxed tone from the first step inside.
Opening on time
By the time construction wraps up, most clinics have staff hired, equipment ordered and patients booked. We plan the last weeks carefully, including equipment installation, inspections, cleaning and the occupancy permit, so your opening day doesn't move.
How long does it take to build a dental clinic?
It depends on the size of the clinic and whether it's a fit-out or a new building. A fit-out in an existing unit is much faster than a ground-up build. Once we've seen your drawings and your equipment list, we can give you a realistic schedule.
Do you work with dental equipment suppliers?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your supplier on service locations, delivery and installation, so the operatories are ready when the chairs arrive.
Can you look at a unit before I sign the lease?
We'd encourage it. A quick visit can tell you whether the plumbing, electrical service, ventilation and floor structure will suit a dental clinic, or whether they'll add real cost to your build.
