English term or phrase: dental office 和 dental clinic

下文中最後一句的dental office跟dental clinic應該怎麼翻譯比較好呢？有沒有人是住在美國的，知道這兩個是不是都是牙科診所呢？還是大型跟小型的區別？謝謝

If you or someone you care for has a disability, clear, open communication with your dental care provider is especially important. When you make an appointment, be sure to discuss the patient’s particular needs with the dentist and staff.

Will treatment occur in the dental office or as an outpatient experience in a hospital or dental clinic

Chinese translation:牙科诊所牙科医院

Explanation:
dental office一般指规模较小的私人诊所， clinic也是诊所的意思，但是规模要比office大，比如说美国有名的mayo clinic 名义上是梅奥诊所实际上是一个大的综合性医院所以个人认为dental clinic可以翻译为医院那种规模介于诊所和医院之间
