Frequently Asked Questions
General
Does Dentec help with building and/or resource consents?
Yes, we do this as part of our design and build offering. See the information above.
How do I know if a site is suitable for a dental practice?
This can often catch you out. We recommend contacting us for a complimentary site assessment. While some sites may look just perfect, there is a lot to consider when looking at a space for a dental practice.
Is it more cost-effective to convert an existing house to a dental practice than to fitout a commercial space?
Generally speaking, converting a house is a lot more complex. Houses can often require resource consents and change of use consents, as well as run into accessibility and car parking issues. Along with this, the property will be required to be completely re-wired to meet medical standards. With a house you will see less economic and efficient use of space as you are using existing rooms and walls
How long does it take to build or fitout out a dental practice?
This varies from project to project. The design stage takes around 4-8 weeks, consents can take 4-6 weeks, and the onsite works range from 6-8 weeks project depending.
How much space do I need for a 3-chair dental practice?
100m² - 150m² is ideal. It can often be done in less space, however, this will likely impact your ergonomics and practice efficiencies.
Can Dentec help me find space for my new dental practice?
Yes, we have real estate agents across New Zealand contacting us weekly with new developments that suit healthcare facilities. Contact us today to receive a list for your area.
Does Dentec offer branding and identity services?
Yes, we do. We have a great team of graphic designers who specialise in dental branding who are ready to help!
What isn't included in a Dentec build?

We can include everything and anything, however, generally speaking, with a full design, fitout, and equipment package from Dentec, you would only be required to purchase the following:

  • Dental consumables
  • Appliances
  • Computers
  • Printers
  • TVs
  • Loose/soft furniture
  • Stationery
Does Dentec help with lease or purchase negotiations?
As we see a lot of purchase and lease agreements, we're always happy to review yours and ensure you are getting the best value for money.
