Whichever option you choose, be sure to factor growth into your office design. Over the years, your patient base, office functions and dental technology will evolve and grow. Plan to accommodate this long-term growth with a design plan and budget that factor in additional staff and equipment — even an additional operatory or two — that your practice can grow into. Remember that you will make payments on your financing package for 10 or more years, and building growth into your design will help maximize your investment.

To help determine how much growth to build into your project, conduct market research on projected growth for your area over the next decade. Look at summaries of the most recent census data as well as professionally compiled market data reports. Some market data reports are available online, or even through your practice lender.
