Dental & Ambulatory Surgical Center Conversion
We transformed a commercial building into a modern dental office with a fully equipped ambulatory surgical center. The project included complete interior renovation, upgraded MEP systems, ADA compliance, and medical-grade finishes to meet all dental and surgical requirements.
Built for both comfort and clinical efficiency, this space now supports advanced outpatient procedures and general dental care in one streamlined facility.
According to medicare-certified ASC DATA
- 8% of ASCs offer dental surgical services as one of their specialties (~492 centers).
- When focusing on single‑specialty dental ASCs, they make up about 2% of all ASCs (~48 centers)
- This indicates that only a small portion of certified ASCs are specifically structured for—or exclusively focused on—dental surgery operations.
ASC Landscape & Trends
- As of 2024/2025, there were approximately 6,300 Medicare-certified ASCs operating across the country
- The ASC sector continues to grow steadily, with overall service volume rising and reimbursement driven by Medicare policies approving dental facility codes like HCPCS G0330 for dental rehabilitation in ASCs
What This Means
- Dental offices with integrated ASCs are relatively rare, particularly standalone dental facilities built around surgical suites.
- Most dental surgeries using ASCs occur in multi-specialty surgical centers that include dental services as part of bigger operations.
- Regulatory changes like inclusion of code G0330 (dental procedures under monitored anesthesia) are increasing viability and reimbursement for dental ASCs moving forward.

What Is an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC)?
An Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) is a modern healthcare facility designed to provide same-day surgical care, including diagnostic and preventive procedures, outside of a traditional hospital setting.
ASCs are fully equipped to handle outpatient surgeries that don’t require an overnight hospital stay. They are licensed, regulated, and built to meet strict safety and medical standards — making them a trusted, cost-effective option for patients and providers.
Safer Environment for Complex Procedures
Ambulatory Surgical Centers are designed to meet hospital-level safety standards, making them ideal for dental and medical procedures that require general or IV sedation. With dedicated surgical suites, advanced monitoring equipment, and trained medical staff, ASCs provide a controlled, sterile environment that prioritizes patient safety at every step.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Hospitals
ASCs offer the same high-quality surgical care as hospitals — at a fraction of the cost. For both patients and providers, this means lower expenses without compromising on safety, technology, or comfort. Many insurance plans now encourage the use of ASCs for this very reason.
aster Recovery and Same-Day Discharge
Because ASCs focus exclusively on outpatient care, patients benefit from quicker recovery times and same-day discharge. This allows for a more relaxed healing process at home, reducing stress and eliminating the need for overnight hospital stays.
Designed for Comfort and Privacy
Unlike traditional hospital settings, ASCs are built with patient experience in mind. From private pre-op areas to calming recovery rooms, every space is created to minimize anxiety and maximize comfort — especially important in dental and pediatric care.
Streamlined Care With Your Provider
Having a surgical center within your dental or medical office means your care is handled by the provider you already trust. There’s no need to coordinate across multiple locations — everything happens under one roof, improving continuity and simplifying your treatment experience.
Specialized for Unique Patient Needs
ASCs are especially valuable for patients with special needs, children, or individuals requiring anesthesia for routine procedures. With tailored equipment, experienced staff, and flexible care options, these centers provide a safe, personalized approach for patients who need extra support.
