How Big Should My Dental Office Be?

There is a long-standing tradition in dental office design that states that the minimum requirement for the square footage of a dental practice is 450 feet per treatment room with an optimum size of 500 feet per room. And, after the introduction of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it has been stated that room size increases throughout the office would require that ideal number to rise to 550 feet. This would mean that A 10-chair dental facility would require 5500 ft.² of available space.

Well over two decades ago, our company set out to debunk these convenient measurements using Lean Principles. The great news is that for over 2 decades, Design Ergonomics has successfully produced comfortable and highly productive offices with rooms averages of less than 350 feet. This saves doctors hundreds of thousands of dollars in space and equipment costs (sometimes millions in larger offices), and it makes it possible for startup doctors to find spaces within their budget.
