Every dental discipline. One specialist.
Dental and orthodontic real estate is one of the most technically demanding lease categories in commercial real estate. A dental office requires specific plumbing rough-ins for each operatory, compressed air and vacuum systems sized to the number of chairs, nitrous oxide delivery where applicable, lead-lined walls for x-ray rooms, and cabinetry and millwork that cannot be relocated without significant cost. Every one of these requirements must be addressed in the lease — before the tenant improvement process begins.
Dental office lease Ontario and Alberta — what to know
Finding a dental office for lease in Ontario or Alberta involves more than identifying available commercial space. A dental office lease must address compressed air and vacuum system sizing, plumbing rough-ins at each operatory, lead-lined x-ray and CBCT imaging rooms, sterilization room floor drains, nitrous oxide delivery where applicable, and adequate electrical panel capacity for imaging equipment and sterilizers. These are non-negotiable clinical requirements — and they must be written into the lease with precision before a single dollar of tenant improvement work begins. PRAXIS negotiates dental office leases across Ontario and Alberta with every one of these requirements built into the mandate from day one.
PRAXIS advises dental and orthodontic practitioners with a thorough understanding of what the space needs to function clinically. We negotiate lease terms that protect the practice — from tenant improvement allowances and fixturing periods through to HVAC exclusivity, signage rights, and renewal options that reflect the true cost of relocating a dental practice.
PRAXIS advises dental and orthodontic clients across every discipline and practice model:
- General dentistry — solo and associate practices, first-clinic leases, relocations, renewals, and acquisitions. Site selection informed by patient demographics, traffic patterns, parking, and co-tenancy.
- Orthodontics — dedicated orthodontic clinic real estate requiring open-bay treatment room configurations, consult rooms, imaging areas, and high-visibility locations that support direct-to-consumer patient flow.
- Oral and maxillofacial surgery — surgical suite design requirements, recovery areas, sedation infrastructure, anaesthesia gas delivery, and the higher mechanical and electrical loads of an oral surgery facility.
- Endodontics — specialist referral practices with dedicated microscope operatories, imaging rooms, and the smaller footprint typical of high-volume endodontic practices.
- Periodontics — surgical and non-surgical periodontal practices requiring dedicated operatories, sterilization zones, and in some cases minor surgical suite capability.
- Prosthodontics — complex restorative and implant practices with laboratory integration, CBCT imaging suites, and multi-chair configurations supporting advanced restorative workflows.
- Pediatric dentistry — child-friendly clinic design, operatory sizing, waiting area requirements, and the site selection considerations unique to a pediatric-focused practice.
- Multi-site dental groups and DSOs — portfolio strategy, network expansion, site prioritization, lease portfolio management, and acquisition advisory for dental support organizations and multi-site operators scaling across Ontario and Alberta.

PRAXIS negotiates dental leases with a working understanding of the infrastructure that defines these spaces — compressed air systems and receiver tank sizing, dental vacuum and saliva ejector lines, nitrous oxide and oxygen delivery, lead-lined x-ray and CBCT imaging rooms, floor drains at the wet lab and sterilization centre, cabinetry and millwork that is built-in and non-relocatable, adequate electrical panel capacity for sterilizers and imaging equipment, and plumbing rough-ins at each operatory that must be specified before construction begins. Every lease we negotiate for a dental client addresses these requirements explicitly.
