FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED

For more than three decades we have been creating dental spaces that challenge the pre-conceived vision of what a trip to the dentist looks like.

Design and construction specialists.

OPTIMA’s reputation directly aligns with our customer’s success, but also relies heavily on our people and their high professional standards.

We have sought talent from tier 1 architecture and construction firms and brought them to the dental industry – a rare and valuable feature of our business that has heightened our design and delivery quality at every step.

Our Motivation

We are on a journey to change public perception of Dentistry.

Mission

We exist to remove the barriers in Dental environments by focussing on patient experience, practice efficiency and staff engagement.

Vision

We are on a journey to change public perception of Dentistry. This vision was formulated upon the long-existing negative stigma surrounding the dental industry.

We believe visiting the dentist should be an enjoyable experience for everyone. We wanted to shift the perception of dark, dreary dental spaces full of scary, noisy equipment associated with pain – to positive, warm, welcoming environments associated with personal growth.

Our Story

This is our story. A small opportunity, treated with respect, blossomed to where we are today as a national design & construction partner for a remarkably talented industry.

Founded in 1991

From humble beginnings in Geelong, Victoria, to designing & building Dental & Medical practices Australia-wide, Optima is proudly family owned and operated since 1991.

How Optima Began

Our founder, Phil Earl, was originally working as a commercial and industrial electrician when he received a chance callout from a dentist in desperate need of assistance to service some dental equipment.

That first successful technical repair, along with recognising a clear a gap in the market, sparked an immediate passion for the industry - and OPTIMA was born.

Why Dental?

Our focus is on dental because it's where we started, it's what we know, it’s intricate, and it's our passion.

We are confident in our deep knowledge of dentists and their patient's, built on years of experience that has refined our approach.

Regardless of industry, we believe that our focus on customer satisfaction and trust is proven in the network of long-standing positive relationships we've built.

Growth Timeline

While our team has grown and the scope of projects we deliver has increased, one constant since our inception has been the family values we strive to work and live by.
