About the Practice
Dr. Dinesh Mohale runs Mohale Multispeciality Dental Clinic in Washim, Maharashtra. With 8 years of clinical experience, he manages a busy solo practice catering to a high-volume OPD.
His mission: deliver accessible, high-quality care, even in a time-constrained environment.
Despite limited resources in tier-3 cities, he actively leads screening and awareness camps to improve dental health education.
The Challenge
Before adopting scanO, Dr. Mohale struggled with a critical issue
Communication Gap
Most explanations were verbal or based on intraoral images, which patients found hard to interpret.
Time Constraints
High patient load meant he had time to address only the chief complaint, often missing broader issues.
Low Case Acceptance
Patients did not fully understand consequences of untreated conditions, especially for fillings, RCTs, scaling, and orthodontics.
Inefficient Camps
Manual screening made camps labor intensive, forcing him to miss OPD hours with low treatment conversion.
"Convincing patients about the treatment was difficult. They didn't understand the findings and didn't fully trust what I was saying."

The Solution: scanO
Dr. Mohale discovered scanO via Facebook testimonials from peers. Intrigued by its AI-powered, contactless dental screening tool, he saw an opportunity to modernize his workflow and improve patient communication.
scanO enables faster, wider oral health screening than manual methods, increasing reach per camp. It also builds awareness about oral care and positions the clinic as a tech-forward provider.
By streamlining diagnostics, clinicians can attend to more patients or spend more quality time(focusing on chief complaint) with each one.
Fast Implementation
No prior software experience needed
Fully operational the next day
First dental camp held within 4–5 days
Staff independently manages setup and scanning
My team manages scanning and setup on their own. It's very easy to use. Additionally, machine’s effortless portability adds to the charm of the whole experience.
