When a Wider Refurbishment Makes Sense

A wider refurbishment can make sense when several parts of your practice need attention at the same time, or when one change affects the way other areas work.

You may be adding clinical capacity, updating ageing rooms, improving patient or staff areas, replacing equipment or reconsidering how people move through the building.

Looking at the practice as a whole helps you set priorities before individual rooms, finishes or equipment are specified.

It also makes it easier to identify which changes should be completed together and which can be phased.

A surgery refurbishment or room conversion can form part of the wider project, with the surrounding services, access and shared facilities planned around it.

Plan the Practice as a Connected Space

Changes in one part of your practice can create requirements elsewhere.

Adding another surgery, for example, may affect decontamination capacity, plant equipment, storage, services and how patients and staff move between rooms.

That is why the wider layout needs to be considered alongside individual spaces.

We can review the clinical areas, patient-facing spaces, staff facilities and infrastructure that support them, then coordinate the work around the relationships between those areas.

This helps you plan the refurbishment as one connected project, even when the work itself is completed in stages.

Decide What to Change First

A refurbishment starts with understanding what needs to improve across your practice and which decisions affect other parts of the project.

Review the existing layout, equipment, services and day-to-day workflow before specifying finishes. This helps you identify which elements need replacing, which can be retained or relocated and which changes are best completed together. You can then set priorities around:

  • Clinical capacity and room use
  • Existing equipment and infrastructure
  • Patient and staff movement
  • Shared services and plant
  • Budget priorities and phasing

Refurbishing a Working Dental Practice

Refurbishment in an operating practice needs careful planning around staff, patients, contractors and the services that keep the building running.

Before work starts, we review which areas can be isolated, how contractors and deliveries will access the site and whether shared services could be affected. Equipment may also need to be removed, relocated or reinstalled as rooms are completed.

Where several areas are involved, sequencing becomes especially important. Some work may be planned around quieter periods, temporary arrangements or agreed closures, depending on the building and the scope of the project.

Eclipse has experience working in live dental practices, including phased projects where areas were completed while the practice continued operating. The exact approach depends on the layout, access and services involved.

Dental Practice Refurbishment Projects

Every refurbishment has different priorities.

These projects show how existing dental practices can be updated as one larger project or through planned phases.

At 7Oaks Clinic, Eclipse completed a full fit-out and refurbishment across the practice.

Alexanders Dental Practice was delivered in two phases, with the final surgery completed after the practice had opened.

At New Lavender House, three surgeries dating back to the 1970s were refurbished before a later project converted the upstairs flat while the practice remained operational.

Dental Practice Refurbishment FAQs

What can a dental practice refurbishment include?

Your refurbishment can cover several areas of the practice, including surgeries, reception and waiting areas, decontamination, imaging, staff facilities, storage and plant. It can also include flooring, lighting, cabinetry, decoration and the services connecting these areas.

Can my dental practice remain open during refurbishment?

In some projects, parts of the practice can remain operational while work is completed elsewhere. This depends on the building, access, shared services and the areas being refurbished. We review these factors when planning the sequence of work.

Can refurbishment work be completed in phases?

Yes. Phasing can be useful when you want to spread improvements across different areas or need to plan work around an operating practice. The sequence needs to consider shared services, equipment and how later phases connect with completed work.

Can existing dental equipment be retained or relocated?

Often, yes. Existing equipment can be reviewed as part of the planning process to determine what can remain in place, what could be relocated and what may need replacing. This also helps identify any changes needed to services or infrastructure.

Can room conversions form part of a wider refurbishment?

Yes. An existing room can be given a new function as part of a wider project, such as creating an additional surgery, decontamination room or other clinical space. The surrounding services, access and workflow also need to be considered.

What affects the cost and programme of a refurbishment?

The main factors include the size and condition of the practice, the number of areas involved, building work, equipment requirements, infrastructure changes, access and whether the project needs to be phased around an operating practice.

Which areas does Eclipse cover?

Eclipse carries out dental practice refurbishment projects across London, the Home Counties and the wider South East. Selected projects elsewhere can also be considered depending on the scope and location.
