Frequently Asked Questions: Understanding Dental Build-Out Costs
1. What is the average dental office build-out cost per square foot?
For a brand-new "shell" space, dental build-out costs typically range from $180 to $250+ per square foot in the current market. This price varies based on the level of finishes (e.g., standard vs. luxury spa-like aesthetics) and the complexity of the plumbing and electrical requirements. Because these costs are significant, negotiating a strong Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance is critical to your practice's financial health.
2. Does the landlord pay for my dental office construction?
In most cases, the landlord contributes a Tenant Improvement (TI) Allowance to help offset construction costs, but they rarely cover 100% of the bill. The remaining balance is the tenant's responsibility. Our job as your broker is to aggressively negotiate this allowance to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Is it cheaper to lease a second-generation dental office?
Yes, leasing a "second-generation" dental space (an office previously occupied by another dentist) can save you 30% to 50% on construction costs. Since the expensive infrastructure—like in-floor plumbing, nitrous lines, and lead-lined walls—is often already in place, you mainly pay for cosmetic upgrades and equipment. However, these spaces are in high demand and require an expert to find before they hit the open market.
4. Why is dental office construction more expensive than standard office space?
Dental offices require complex infrastructure that standard offices do not. The primary cost drivers include:
Plumbing: Trenching concrete floors to run water and suction to every chair.
Electrical: High-voltage requirements for X-ray machines, compressors, and sterilization labs.
Millwork: Custom cabinetry for operatories and sterilization centers.
Compliance: Meeting strict ADA, HIPAA, and radiation shielding requirements.
5. How long does a dental build-out take from lease signing to opening?
You should plan for a timeline of 6 to 9 months for a ground-up build-out. This includes 2–3 months for architectural design and permitting, followed by 4–6 months of physical construction. Because delays in permitting or equipment delivery are common, we recommend starting your real estate search at least 12 months before you intend to open your doors.
