Dental office buildings in North Florida

Dental office buildings in North Florida: what to know

A dental office is planned around its operatories. Each chair needs water, a drain, compressed air and suction, and those lines usually run under the slab or through the walls to a utility box at the chair, so the operatory layout has to be fixed before concrete is poured. A mechanical room holds the air compressor and vacuum pump, placed where their noise stays away from patients. Sterilization, a lab, x-ray locations and the front desk all fit around the path a patient takes from the waiting room to the chair.
