Building better dental practices: design, construction & fitout

Changing public perception of dentistry for over 3 decades.

Dentistry is in our DNA.

It’s where we started, and it’s what we know inside and out. At OPTIMA, every dental fitout or ground-up build begins with understanding what drives a successful practice, finding the balance between clinical precision, patient experience, and your future goals.

We know the realities of running a modern practice. Every detail of a dental practice design impacts how your team performs and how your patients feel. Our proven methodology and work reflect that understanding in every decision, from initial consultation and concept, through to final delivery.

‘Runs on the board’ experience

For more than 35 years, OPTIMA has partnered with dentists across Australia to deliver dental fitouts and new practice builds that are both functional and inspiring. Each dental clinic fitout is designed to elevate patient care, enhance efficiency, and create an environment where teams perform at their best.

With hundreds of successful dental practices constructed nationwide, our experience, knowledge, and proven track record reflect a deep understanding of how healthcare spaces need to work. From intelligent planning to expert dental construction, we create dental practices that inspire confidence, support performance, and challenge traditional perceptions of the industry.

What our clients say about us

OPTI062 Raceview Dental Surgery 4 Dr Nauvneel Kashyap scaled - OPTIMA

“I needed someone that had the runs on the board, experience in designing and building Dental practices. The experience was seamless, excellent! I couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough. The quality of work was phenomenal!”

 Nauvneel Kashyap
Raceview Dental Surgery

OPTI107 Supersmile Aranda 36 - OPTIMA

“We needed a company that would design the practice for us, someone that had runs on the board, someone that had produced large Orthodontic Practices in the past and we knew that OPTIMA had certainly done this previously with glowing accolades.”

Dr Ray Te Mo
Supersmile Orthodontist

OPTI090 Surfside Dental 3 scaled - OPTIMA

“They’ve got a lot of experience and resources in the field. When I wanted to design a new clinic, they were the logical first step to go with. Very knowledgeable, very trustworthy.”

Dr Chris Van-Ryswyk
Surfside Dental

OPTI096 Braces n Faces 11 scaled - OPTIMA

“We’re busy working practitioners, we’ve got hectic schedules day-to-day, so taking on the management of building a new practice is certainly quite daunting, you don’t do it very often! Having someone we could rely on to manage the project in an efficient, timely manner but also have as much or as little involvement as we wanted worked really well for us.”

Dr Hashmat Popat
Braces N Faces

OPTI080 Portrush Family Dental 3 scaled - OPTIMA

“The patients are in awe when they first come through the door, often saying that it feels less like a clinic and puts them at ease and relaxes them, reducing that patient anxiety.”

Dr Ricky Freytag
Portrush Family Dental

OPTI084 Queensland Endodontics 1 scaled - OPTIMA

“What really attracted us the most was when we spoke to Ronnie and the team, even before we engaged them, they were willing to come out, sit down with us, discuss the project to see if it’s feasible, and not just focus on trying to get the project started straight away. They were giving us their thoughts on location, what can happen, how to design things, all before we even engaged them.”

Dr Yao Teoh
Queensland Endodontics

Helpful information

Commonly asked questions from dental practice owners, answered by OPTIMA

When should I start planning my new practice build or fitout project?

Planning for a dental practice fitout or new practice build should begin as early as possible. Early engagement creates more opportunities when assessing locations, shaping design, and setting realistic budgets. We recommend starting well before your lease is due for renewal or your current space becomes a constraint. This ensures your dental fitout or dental construction process is informed, deliberate, and free from unnecessary pressure.

Do I need to have a location before proceeding?

Definitely not. In fact, engaging a construction specialist early on helps you secure the right property, negotiate leases, and shape an appropriate dental practice design strategy before purchasing a location.

What makes OPTIMA stand out in dental construction?

OPTIMA stands out in dental construction for its fully integrated approach, managing every stage in-house from property advisory and design to construction and final dental fitout. Practice owners value our clear communication, dedicated project management, and proven track record for delivering on time and within budget.
