“Many factors are considered when starting up a dental clinic. First of all, you have to make a business plan. This plan will include your mission, your vision and the strategies you need to make in order to realize these things.

Then you have to consider how to finance for the equipment. You might need to make a bank loan. Or perhaps you’ve recently won a lotto draw, in such a case, it’s already a done deal. When you decide to get a bank loan, you will be worrying about your payments. There is a short term accounts payable which is about as long as the operation cycle of the business which is about 12 months. Long term loans will usually take 2 years or more.

The next thing is you have to find a good location for your clinic. The first thing you have to consider is the location’s accessibility. Your location should be easily accessible from the street. If you have to go through an alley then climb four flights of stairs then that would be very difficult to find.

You would have to put up a lot of signs with arrows pointing the way to your clinic. If possible, choose a location that pedestrians can easily see. So when you put up signs, put it within pedestrian’s point of view. When the time comes that they need to go to a dentist, their subconscious will lead them to that dental sign that they see everyday.

Then you have to find an architect or an interior designer to plan out your clinic’s layout and orientation. The entire area will be divided into the reception area, the operating room, and the dentist’s office. Patients can wait for their turn in your reception area. A reception counter with complete access to records, a personal computer, etc. should be there as well. Place a television set overhead and a rack full of magazines so that patients don’t get bored while waiting. Situate the dental chair so that there is ample space to move around it. The sink’s location should be easily accessible from the dentist’s side of the dental chair. The sink should have a lot of cabinets over and under it.”
