The Patient-Centered Dental-Health Home
* Warranty
* Ergonomic soundness
* Promotion of productivity
* Appearance
* Design and features for the procedures you plan to provide and the patients you plan to serve
* Ease of left/right-hand adaptation to operator-handedness
* Evaluation and application of new and emerging technologies that improve patient experience, quality of
care outcomes, clinical efficiency
* Fully integrated technologies
* Promotion of 'green practices'
Even so, equipment costs do not exist in a vacuum. For example, your dentist's salary is the single most
expensive part of your budget. If your dentist must wait between patients for room clean up, X-rays to be taken,
or for anesthesia to be effective, you are losing productivity.
EXPERT
ADVICE
Having the 'right' number of operatories and the equipment you need allows your dentist
to be scheduled with a patient at all times during the clinical day. It also allows for best
utilization of hygienists as well as assistants with expanded functions (based on state
practice acts). All of these mean more time with patients and more effective care.
Construction or Renovation Budget
Once you have your contractor identified, it is especially important to assess existing buildings for potentially
hidden expenses related to dental construction. These can include allowances for location of shear walls,
supporting columns, asbestos abatement, inadequate and old electrical, concrete floors that may require
trenching for air, water and vacuum lines, and location of existing plumbing, which if tapped into with effective
design can save thousands of dollars.
EXPERT
ADVICE
Consider a national contractor who is experienced in both medical and dental facility
construction who can contract with local labor in order to be compliant with local labor or
building regulations that will impact your project. This is an important aspect of writing a
Request for Proposal (RFP). Expert contractors are invaluable. If you do choose a local or
regional contractor, we recommend you verify specifically their experience with building
dental facilities (not just having looked a pictures of dental clinics!).
Have the contractor detail the budget and allow for contingency funds to address construction 'surprises' or
additional requirements related to building inspection.
