Starting a new dental clinic is exciting — but also full of questions, especially when it comes to costs. How much should you budget? Where are the hidden expenses? And what kind of investment will truly set you up for success?
📺 Watch the video below to learn what goes into building or refreshing your clinic—and what that could mean for your budget.
💰 What Goes Into Your Clinic Investment?
✅ Location & Lease – Your geographic location, lease terms, and building condition are foundational to your cost structure. Urban centers, rural areas, and medical buildings all come with different price tags.
✅ Design & Permits – Engineering, space planning, and permit drawings all come before a single wall is built. Smart design at this stage prevents costly changes down the road.
✅ Construction & Build-Out – Whether you’re creating a brand-new space or renovating an existing one, construction costs can vary widely based on size, materials, and complexity.
✅ Equipment & Setup – From computers and chairs to artwork and sterilization tools, hard costs add up fast. Plus, there’s the cost of setting up systems and training staff.
✅ Supplies & Inventory – Think beyond the big-ticket items. Initial inventory, office stationery, and everyday tools are essential—and often underestimated.
In general, a brand-new dental clinic can cost upwards of $1 million, while a renovation or refresh can range greatly depending on the scope.
