Build the next
dental brand in India.
We're a doctor-led, specialist-driven clinic chain expanding from Noida across Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai and beyond. We're looking for partners — practising doctors, healthcare entrepreneurs, family offices — who want to operate the next 50 clinics with us.
Not a chain.
A specialist network.
India's largest dental chain has 600+ clinics — and a long tail of patient complaints about rushed visits, aggressive upsells, and quality that varies per location. We're building the opposite: a smaller network of doctor-run, specialist-led clinics where patients meet the same team every time.
Numbers we publish openly.
Most dental franchises hide their P&L. We don't — partly because we have nothing to hide, partly because radical transparency is its own moat against operators who do.
- Interiors + dental chairs + sterilisation₹38-50L
- Imaging (CBCT + intra-oral scanner)₹15-22L
- Initial inventory + consumables₹4-6L
- Brand fee + onboarding₹8-12L
- Working capital (3 months runway)₹6-10L
- Monthly revenue (mature clinic)₹10-14L
- Operating costs (rent, salaries, lab)₹5-7L
- Royalty + marketing fee₹0.6-0.85L
- Owner take-home₹3-6L / month
- Mature = month 18+ post-launch. Year 1 is investment + stabilisation.
These ranges are based on our Sector 78 Noida flagship's actual P&L (anonymised) and benchmarks from comparable specialist clinics in the NCR. Final numbers depend on city, location, real-estate cost, and operator effort. We share full P&L with serious applicants under NDA.
Six things every
franchise inherits.
Brand + marketing engine
Your clinic launches with our brand identity, AI-powered SEO content engine, Google Business + Meta ads playbook, and a city-specific launch package (50+ blog posts pre-loaded for your sectors).
Tech + admin platform
Same patient portal, online consultation flow, payment system, WhatsApp hub, and audit-logged back-office our flagship runs on. Per-clinic dashboards roll up to a chain-level view for franchisees.
Doctor recruiting + training
We help source specialist team members (endo + ortho + oral surgery) for your city. Each new doctor goes through a 2-week onboarding at the Sector 78 flagship before opening.
Procurement + lab
Bulk-purchase pricing on chairs, consumables, and CBCT equipment. Centralised lab partner network so prosthetic quality matches the flagship across every location.
Patient acquisition
Pre-launch SEO + Google Ads + WhatsApp campaigns that fill your appointment book before opening day. Most franchise clinics see 80+ bookings in the first 30 days.
Quality + clinical SOPs
Same protocols, same materials, same outcomes. Monthly clinical audit + bi-annual on-site review by our flagship's clinical director.
Where we're opening next.

Dr. Tannavi Yadav
A practising endodontist with over a decade of clinical work, Tannavi founded Dental Care Centre to fix what she saw repeatedly in patients walking into her chair: rushed care, mismatched specialists, and a corporate-chain experience that felt like a fast-food counter. She's the founder partners actually want — clinically excellent, present in the clinic, and obsessive about the patient experience.
"We're not building India's biggest dental brand. We're building the brand thoughtful patients choose — across cities, generations, and treatments."

of the next 50 clinics?
Apply with a short form. We respond to every serious application within 48 hours and follow up with a 30-minute discovery call. No hard sell — most conversations end in "let's stay in touch" or "let's go to NDA".
The questions
partners actually ask.
Want a question added here? Send it to info@dentalcarecenter.org.
Do I need to be a dentist to apply?
No. We have two tracks. Track 1: practising doctors who want to operate their own clinic with our brand + tech + playbook. Track 2: healthcare entrepreneurs / family offices / RWA-owners who run the clinic as a business operator while we help recruit the medical team. Both tracks have closed franchises with us.
How is this different from a Clove or Dr Smiles franchise?
Their model is fast-food: maximise locations, generic brand, central commands. Ours is specialist-network: smaller number of higher-quality clinics where each has its own clinical identity. Lower volume per clinic, higher margin, much higher patient retention.
What happens if I underperform?
We meet quarterly, audit clinical quality monthly, and have a 24-month performance review. If a franchise isn't hitting reasonable benchmarks, we work together first to fix it. Termination is a last resort and the contract is fair to both sides — no horror-story clauses.
Can I open multiple clinics?
Yes. Most second clinics from existing franchisees come within 18 months of the first. We give multi-unit franchisees territorial protection and reduced royalty after the second unit.
Do you take an equity stake in the clinic?
Standard franchise: no. Premium-territory clinics (Bandra, South Delhi, Indiranagar): yes, we may take 10-20% in exchange for additional capital and brand investment. Discussed case-by-case under NDA.
How long does the process take from apply to opening day?
Average is 6-9 months: 2-4 weeks for evaluation + NDA, 8-12 weeks for site finalisation + lease, 10-16 weeks for fit-out + equipment + team hire + soft launch. We have a project manager assigned to every signed franchise.
What's the minimum cash I need on hand?
For Tier-1 (₹40-60L total), realistically ₹15-25L liquid + ability to raise the rest via business loans or equipment financing (we have lender introductions). We don't want franchisees stretching beyond their means — bad for everyone.
Can I see your flagship's actual financials?
Yes — under NDA after the first call. We share three years of monthly P&L for the Sector 78 flagship, broken down by service line.
