Team building for dental offices

Team building for dental offices has to fit around patient hours: one hosted 45 or 60 minute event in a lunch closure, a short Friday or a staff meeting morning, with the front desk and the clinical team together. Play a game on the staff room screen, or make a kit together with a live instructor.

8 dental team building activities

Short hosted games that fit a lunch closure, and kits on a small-practice budget. Every one has a live host, and prices are live from our catalog.

Hosted games need about 2 weeks; kit workshops about 3 weeks for US addresses. See all activities.

Four slots that fit around patient hours

A practice cannot close for a whole afternoon on short notice. These are the hours most offices already have.

  • Lunch closure

    45 minutes in the staff room

    If the office closes for lunch, a 45 minute game fits with time left to eat. Everyone plays on one screen or their own phone.

  • Short Friday

    The afternoon the chairs are empty

    If your office sees patients only in the morning one day a week, that afternoon is the easiest 60 minutes you will find.

  • Staff meeting morning

    Before the first patient

    If you already block a morning for a team meeting, add a game or a calm session to the end of it. Ask us for an early start.

  • After hours

    A kit at home, families nearby

    Ship a kit to each home and meet on video one evening. No one has to stay late at the office.

What a dental team pays: 8, 15 and 25 people

A hosted game is one package for up to 25 guests, so a team of 15 pays the same as 25. A kit is a base fee plus a price per kit, so it suits a small team.

One practice or a multi-location dental group

Most dental teams are 5 to 25 people. A group with several offices can still play as one.

  • One practice, one room

    Five to 25 people around the staff room screen: dentists, hygienists, assistants, front desk and billing. One login is enough.

  • Front desk and clinical together

    The front desk and the chairside team rarely stop at the same time. Mix them on every team so they talk to each other.

  • A multi-location group on one call

    Each office joins from its own staff room as one team, and the host keeps score across offices. A good fit for a dental group or DSO.

  • Every office, one week

    A group with many offices and different closures can book one session per region. We plan it as one multi-event program.

At the office or a kit at home

Two ways to run it, depending on whether the team can stay together after hours.

  • In the office

    Play a hosted game on the staff room screen in a lunch closure. In 30 US cities a painting instructor can also come to the office, and in 17 a host runs trivia or Music Bingo in person. See in-person events.

  • A kit at home

    Each person gets a box at home with everything inside, then the team meets on video one evening. Continental US shipping is included. See the team building kits.

Running a hospital unit or clinic with 24/7 shifts? See healthcare team building. General ideas for any team of 5 to 20 are on team building for small groups.

Dental office team building questions

What are good team building activities for a dental office?

A hosted 45 or 60 minute event that fits a lunch closure or a slow afternoon: Music Bingo or trivia on the staff room screen, or a kit workshop like painting or candle making. A live host runs it, so the office manager only books it.

How much does team building cost for a small dental team?

A hosted game is one package for up to 25 guests, so Trivia with a Twist is $975 for 15 people. A kit is a base fee plus a price per kit: painting for 8 people is $811, with continental US shipping included.

Can we do it during our lunch closure?

Yes. Music Bingo runs 45 minutes, which leaves time to eat in a one hour closure. Book a time that starts a few minutes after the last morning patient.

Can several of our offices play together?

Yes. Each office joins the same video call from its own staff room as one team, and the host keeps score between offices. Offices that close at different times can each get their own session.

Can a host come to our office?

Painting workshops run in person in 30 US cities, and hosted games like trivia and Music Bingo run in 17. Most dental teams do a game on the staff room screen or a kit at home.

How far ahead should we book?

Hosted games need about 2 weeks and kit workshops about 3 weeks for US addresses. For a December 11, 2026 party, book a kit by November 20 and a game by November 27, 2026.

Does this work for other small medical practices?

Yes. A family medicine, eye care or physical therapy practice has the same shape: 5 to 25 people, fixed patient hours and a front desk plus clinical staff. The same lunch closure games and kits work.

How do we pay?

Reserve online with a 50% deposit by card, or ask for a quote and pay by invoice. A dental group can book and track every office in one free team account.
