Dental construction in Colleyville and Grapevine

Colleyville is the city directly south of our Southlake office, and Grapevine is the next city to the east. We have built two dental offices in Colleyville and one in Grapevine. Vinings Dental and Grapevine Dental Care each have a freestanding building, with its own roof, sign, and parking. Family Tree Dentistry's building has room for more than the practice: 3,300 of its 5,500 square feet is the dental office. Those are new buildings, and we also finish out and renovate dental suites in existing buildings.

Family Tree Dentistry, completed in 2013 for Dr. Doan Bui, is a 5,500-square-foot building on Precinct Line Road, and 3,300 square feet of it is the dental practice. M.J. Wright & Associates, Inc. designed the building, with a full masonry veneer, gabled fronts, and large towers, so that it reads more like a house than a clinic. Henry Schein Dental provided the interior planning and the dental equipment.

Vinings Dental is a single-story brick building with a hipped roof and a monument sign on Colleyville Boulevard. Grapevine Dental Care, on Ira E. Woods Avenue, is a single-story stucco building with a stone base, a square tower, and an arched entry porch. Its owner, Dr. Becky Coats, wrote that the project was made to work within her timeline.

A dental building of your own is a different project from a suite. The outside of the building, the sign, the parking, and the drainage are all part of the job, and each one is reviewed by the city. Inside, the dental plumbing, vacuum, and air lines can be placed before the floor slab is poured, which is easier than cutting them into a landlord's slab later.

Colleyville and Grapevine are separate cities, and each one runs its own zoning, plan review, and inspections. See how building permits work for a medical or dental office for the full sequence. For a new building the path usually runs from plat to site plan to building permit, and the exterior materials and the sign are often part of the review. S&I schedules these approvals from the start. We check the under-slab plumbing and the equipment rough-ins with the equipment supplier's installer before the slab is poured.
