DENTAL EXPRESS

Dempsey Construction was hired by Dental Express to construct their new flagship dental facility in East County San Diego located within the Mission Creek Shopping Center. The subject project consisted of site and offsite work, construction of the new building and all interior tenant improvements.

The newly constructed building consists of a single-story, 5,079 Square Foot, wood frame and stucco structure, designed in Art Deco architecture. Multiple plant-on walls and a distinctive height gives this building a unique flair. The exterior walls were built using full-height balloon framing. The interior buildout consists of an open lobby, high ceilings throughout, reception and business office areas, 15 operatory rooms, plaster and sterile laboratories, X-ray pano room, doctors office, staff kitchen, 3 restrooms, and a mechanical mezzanine. Interior improvements also included installation of medical gases. A unique feature of this project is the installation of two G-scale model train tracks, the trains are used by Dental Express as part of their marketing strategy and appeal. Sitework included installation of primary electrical trench, full landscaping, and installation of environmentally friendly on site storm water treatment techniques (bioretention ponds and permeable pavers).
