Dental office space for rent, lease, or sale

Buying vacant dental office space gives you full control over your practice location and property. Instead of adapting to another dentist’s existing setup, you can design the office to your exact specifications, from the number of operatories to the layout and equipment. Ownership also builds long-term equity, which can be more cost-effective than leasing over time.

Renting dental office space typically refers to a short-term or flexible agreement, which may work for dentists who are testing a market or need temporary operatory space. Leasing, on the other hand, usually involves a longer-term contract (3–10 years) with more stable terms. The right option depends on your stage of practice ownership, financial goals, and how permanent you want the location to be.

Rental costs vary widely depending on location, size, and amenities. In major cities like New York, dental office rent can range from a few thousand dollars per month for a small operatory to tens of thousands for a multi-operatory facility in a prime neighborhood. In smaller cities and suburban areas, costs are typically lower. Beyond rent, dentists should also budget for build-out costs, utilities, and equipment.

When evaluating vacant office space, consider both the physical layout and the business potential. Look for spaces with enough square footage to accommodate future growth, proper plumbing and electrical for dental equipment, and a location convenient for patients. Accessibility, parking, and proximity to other healthcare providers can also impact long-term success. Always factor in renovation costs and check whether the space meets local regulations for healthcare facilities.
