The city issued a permit April 30 for tenant build-out for a PDS Health dental office next to Starbucks Coffee Co. in Regency Park Shopping Center.
State Medical & Dental Construction Services of Hollywood, Florida, is the contractor for the $375,000 project to turn the 3,806-square-foot space into a dental office with 14 exam rooms and other services.
The building is at 9406 Atlantic Blvd., east of Southside Boulevard. PDS Health is in Suite 1 next to Starbucks in Suite 2.
Pacific Dental Services LLC of Corona, California, is the contact. New York City-based Brixmor Property Group is the landlord.
It will be one of at least three properties leased for PDS Health. PDS doesn’t put its name on dental offices. It partners with dentists who operate the practice.
Covenant Real Estate Group Head of Real Estate Chris Aguon said March 14 that PDS Health also will lease two properties the Nevada-based company bought in Jacksonville.
And there may be more.
“Covenant is buying them as investments and it does plan to buy more in Jacksonville, as well as in many other parts of the U.S.,” Aguon said in an email responding to questions about Covenant’s strategy.
“Typically, Covenant holds the properties long-term,” Aguon said.

About PDS Health
On April 23, 2024, PDS Health announced that Pacific Dental Services, a U.S. provider of dental and medical support services, transformed into PDS Health, “signifying its evolution into a comprehensive healthcare support organization.”
“This change reflects the company’s growth from its origins in dental support to becoming a leader in healthcare innovation, aiming to revolutionize patient care through the integration of dental and medical services,” said the announcement on PacificDentalServices.com.
PDS Health also unveiled its new headquarters at 3521 Volunteer Blvd. in Henderson.
The 36,000-square-foot building includes executive office spaces, meeting rooms and expansion areas for future initiatives.
It said the building also will house the Thorne Center for Excellence leadership academy to help build the next generation of clinical and nonclinical leaders for the company.
PDS Health said it continued to operate support centers in Henderson; Dallas; and Irvine, California, with plans for an additional support center in Miami.
It said 2024 was the 30th anniversary of the organization’s founding.
It said PDS had long pioneered the inclusion of dental specialty areas such as oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry and orthodontics into general dentistry practices, and had recently expanded into primary medical care.
“When we founded Pacific Dental Services 30 years ago, our goal was to become the greatest dental company in America. Along the way, we’ve not only become a leader in the field but have continued to elevate the standard,” Thorne said.
“Today marks the next step in our journey as we extend our commitment beyond dental care. By continuing to build strong partnerships with clinicians and aligned organizations, and deepening collaboration between dental and medical professionals, we can ultimately bring about needed change in health care and meaningfully improve patient health. We recognize for dental-medical integration to maximize its impact on patient health, there is much work to be done; we seek to be a leader at the forefront of these initiatives and be a key player in leading the change.”
