Ortho-Specific Expertise
We Understand How Orthodontic Practices Work
From open bay efficiency to imaging room requirements, we build spaces designed for orthodontic workflow.
Open Bay Layout Design
The open bay format is the backbone of orthodontic efficiency. We design and build layouts that maximize patient throughput while maintaining privacy and comfort.
- Optimal chair spacing for doctor movement
- Assistant workstation placement
- Utility access at each position
- Privacy screening options
Imaging Room Construction
Modern orthodontics relies heavily on diagnostic imaging. We build imaging rooms that meet equipment specifications and radiation safety requirements.
- CBCT room lead lining & shielding
- Panoramic X-ray positioning
- iTero scanner integration
- Proper electrical & data infrastructure
High-Volume Patient Flow
Orthodontic practices see significantly more patients per day than general dental. Your space needs to support this volume without feeling chaotic.
- Efficient check-in/check-out flow
- Waiting area sizing for patient volume
- Multiple entry/exit points
- Family-friendly waiting spaces
Sterilization & Lab Space
With higher patient volume comes greater sterilization demands. We design efficient sterilization centers and lab spaces for in-house work.
- Central sterilization placement
- Instrument flow optimization
- In-house lab options
- Supply storage solutions

The open bay is where your practice generates revenue. Poor layout design costs you efficiency every single day—making patients wait longer, forcing your team to take extra steps, and limiting how many patients you can see.
We design open bays with orthodontic efficiency as the priority, ensuring every chair position has proper utilities, every workstation is accessible, and patient flow moves smoothly through your practice.

Investment Guide
Orthodontic Office Construction Costs
Ortho buildouts often cost less per square foot than general dental due to open bay efficiency.
| Project Type | Cost Range | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Buildout (per sq ft) | $125 – $300 | $200/sq ft |
| 6-Chair Open Bay Practice (2,000 sq ft) | $250K – $600K | $400K |
| 10-Chair Open Bay Practice (3,000 sq ft) | $375K – $900K | $600K |
| Add Chairs to Existing Bay (per chair) | $15K – $35K | $25K |
| CBCT/Imaging Room Addition | $30K – $75K | $50K |
*Open bay layouts typically cost 15-20% less per square foot than individual operatory designs due to reduced wall construction.
Common Questions
Orthodontic Office Construction FAQs
How long does orthodontic office construction take?
A complete ortho buildout typically takes 10-16 weeks from permit approval. Open bay layouts often move faster than traditional operatory construction since there’s less wall framing involved.
What’s the ideal chair spacing in an open bay?
We typically recommend 6-7 feet between chair centers for optimal doctor movement and patient privacy. The exact spacing depends on your workflow style and the equipment you’re using.
Do you handle CBCT room construction?
Yes. We build imaging rooms with proper lead shielding, electrical requirements, and ventilation. We coordinate with your equipment vendor to ensure the room meets all manufacturer specifications.
Can you add chairs to my existing open bay?
Absolutely. We can add chair positions to existing bays, including running new utilities and ensuring proper spacing. We typically do this work evenings and weekends to minimize disruption.
What areas do you serve?
We serve New York City (all five boroughs), Westchester County, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk), and Northern New Jersey. We’re familiar with orthodontic buildout requirements across the region.
Do you handle iTero and scanner installation?
We prepare the infrastructure—electrical, data, and placement—for all digital scanning equipment. We coordinate with your equipment vendor for final installation and calibration.
