Key Takeaways:

                        
• Dental buildouts can be out-of-control expensive.
                        
• Dansereau started in 1964, and offers quality, American-made dental equipment.
                        
• Look to simplify when purchasing dental chairs and delivery systems. The less that can break, the better. Also keep overhead costs in mind when choosing equipment. 
                        
• Pay attention to space planning when doing a buildout. Cabinets especially tend to get overly complicated and cluttered. 
                        
• Make sure your equipment vendors are involved in the process starting with blueprints. They may have valuable install suggestions that will help your office work smoother. 
                        
• Many doctors use compressors that are larger than necessary. You may not need as much air, and a larger compressor will take up a lot more space.
                        
• Vacuums are often under-qualified and it’s very common to see mistakes made in vacuum system builds, they are often engineered wrong. Be very cautious about the engineering of the vacuum lines.
                        
• Make sure your contractor is licensed and qualified. Do your due diligence when choosing a construction partner. Make sure they have workers comp and liability. 
                        
• Don’t take shortcuts, you’ll often regret them in the long run.
