Dental Office Setup Consultant in Vancouver: Opening a Dental Clinic in BC
Moe Kasaei helps dentists open new dental clinics in Vancouver, North Vancouver and across British Columbia — from choosing the site and negotiating the lease to planning equipment, coordinating design and managing the build-out. He has been involved in 40+ new practice build-outs and more than $50M in dental equipment and construction projects.
The dental clinic startup process, step by step
- Site selection & demographic analysis. Patient demand, competition, visibility, parking and transit — and whether the space can physically support your planned operatories.
- Lease negotiation. Term, rent, tenant improvement allowance and the plumbing, electrical and HVAC capacity a dental office needs — reviewed before you sign.
- Design coordination. Working with your architect or designer on patient flow, sterilization, imaging, lab and staff areas.
- Equipment planning. Chairs, delivery units, imaging, sterilization, compressors, vacuum and digital technology specified early so construction is built around them.
- Build-out management. Coordination between contractor, trades and equipment installation so the clinic opens on schedule.
- Opening & supply setup. Consumables, ordering routines and technical support in place from day one.
Expansions, renovations and relocations
Established practices face the same decisions at a larger scale. Moe advises on adding operatories, renovating existing offices, relocating to a new site and opening additional locations — sequencing the work so the practice keeps seeing patients and the new space is equipped for the next decade, not just the next year.
Office expansions
More chairs, more hygiene capacity and the infrastructure to support them.
Relocation planning
Timing the move, transferring or upgrading equipment and minimising downtime.
Renovations
Modernising layout and technology without disrupting the schedule.
Additional locations
Repeatable planning so a second or third clinic launches faster.
Why involve a consultant before you sign a lease
The most expensive mistakes in opening a dental office happen before construction starts: a space without enough plumbing or electrical capacity, a layout that cannot fit the planned operatories, or equipment chosen after the walls are built. An experienced dental office setup consultant catches these issues while they are still cheap to fix.
Costs vary with size, operatory count, leasehold improvements and equipment choices. Moe helps you build a realistic budget for your specific site before you commit.

How much does it cost to open a dental clinic in Vancouver?
The cost of opening a dental clinic in Vancouver depends mainly on size, number of operatories, leasehold improvements and equipment choices, and typically runs well into the high six to seven figures. Moe Kasaei helps dentists build a realistic budget before signing a lease, and has been involved in more than $50M in dental equipment and construction projects.
When should I involve a consultant when opening a dental office?
Involve a dental office setup consultant before you sign a lease. Site selection, demographics, plumbing and electrical capacity, and the space's ability to fit your planned operatories all affect cost and success, and they are much harder to fix after the lease is signed.
