New Dental Clinic Setup & Startup - at a glance

Opening a dental clinic in Ontario? We build your IPAC program, policies, compliance, staffing & operations from day one - inspection-ready by opening day.

What's included

Everything Ontario dental clinics need from this service.

  • Startup roadmap & compliance checklist

    A clear, prioritized launch plan mapping every regulatory and operational step - from IPAC and Public Health Ontario readiness to RCDSO standards, WHMIS, AODA, and Ministry of Labour obligations - so nothing is missed before opening day.

  • IPAC program from day one

    We design your sterilization workflow, choose reprocessing layouts, write your clinic-specific IPAC manual, set up biological monitoring and logs, and name a designated IPAC officer - so your first public health inspection is a formality, not a fire drill.

  • Policies, manuals & documentation

    Full policy and procedure manual, health & safety program, employment contracts, staff handbook, privacy (PHIPA) and consent documentation, and all inspection-ready logs - built for your clinic, not a generic template.

  • Staffing & recruitment

    Recruit and pre-screen your founding team - Associate Dentists, Registered Dental Hygienists, Dental Assistants (Level I & II), Administrators, and Office Managers - with RCDSO/CDHO licensing verified and IPAC training confirmed.

  • Team training & onboarding

    CPR/BLS, WHMIS 2015, AODA, and IPAC training for your whole team, plus a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding so everyone knows your systems before the doors open.

  • Operations, ordering & inventory setup

    Par-level inventory, vendor accounts, ordering systems, and daily operational workflows configured from the start - so supply costs and waste stay controlled as you grow.

FAQ

New Dental Clinic Setup & Startup - frequently asked questions

  • What does Prime DMS handle when opening a new dental clinic in Ontario?

    We handle the compliance and operational foundation: your IPAC program and manual, sterilization workflow design, policies and procedure manuals, health & safety and AODA setup, staff recruitment, team training (CPR/BLS, WHMIS, IPAC), and ordering/inventory systems - so your clinic opens fully inspection-ready.

  • How early should I involve a compliance consultant when opening a dental practice?

    As early as possible - ideally during planning and build-out. Sterilization room layout, reprocessing flow, and documentation are far cheaper to get right before construction than to retrofit after a failed inspection.

  • Do you help a new clinic pass its first public health inspection?

    Yes. We build your IPAC program to Public Health Ontario and RCDSO standards, prepare all required logs and records, train your team, and run a pre-opening mock walkthrough so your first inspection is a formality.

  • Can you also recruit and train the founding team for a new clinic?

    Yes. We recruit pre-screened Associate Dentists, RDHs, Dental Assistants, Administrators, and Office Managers with RCDSO/CDHO licensing verified, then deliver CPR/BLS, WHMIS, AODA, and IPAC training with a structured 30-60-90 day onboarding.

  • Do you work with dentists buying or taking over an existing practice?

    Yes. For acquisitions and transitions we audit the existing IPAC program, policies, and documentation, identify gaps, and bring everything up to current Public Health Ontario and RCDSO standards under your ownership.
