Project description: Innovative Dental’s second facility is planned on two stories just south of the Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital off of U.S. Highway 65. The building will have floor-to-ceiling glass running the length of the east side to showcase an LED display owner Dr. Grant Olson said will be visible inside and from the highway. Building plans call for dental offices on both floors, three patient recovery suites overlooking a courtyard and an educational center in the west wing, where Olson said the Innovative Dental team plans to mentor other dental practices. Innovative Dental has roughly 12,000 patients and specializes in preventative care, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics and implants.
