Heartland Dental, based in Effingham, Illinois, has received a construction permit for a new 4,260-square-foot practice in St. Augustine, Florida. The office is estimated to cost $660,000 and represents the company's continued expansion in the state.

Heartland Dental's Florida growth strategy

The new St. Augustine location joins several other Heartland Dental-affiliated practices already operating in St. Johns County. This expansion reflects the dental support organisation's broader strategy to grow its network in Florida, a state with significant dental market opportunity.

What the new office brings to St. Augustine

The permit, reported by the Jacksonville Daily Record on April 21, 2026, clears the way for construction of the practice. Once operational, the office will add capacity to Heartland Dental's presence in the region and provide dental services to the St. Augustine area.
