This belief marks the beginning of an unconventional journey at Dentole Multi Speciality Dental Clinic in Kolhapur. After retiring from a four-decade-long career in the automobile business, the founder began asking a fundamental question.
Which part of healthcare in India is most neglected?
The answer was dentistry.
People visit doctors when pain forces them to. Dental problems, however, are often carried silently. Cavities and decay progress quietly until discomfort becomes unavoidable. This gap became the starting point for building a clinic focused on awareness before pain.
In many communities, dental visits happen late.
Alongside this delay sits a deeper issue. A lack of trust. Many patients believe that dentists might exaggerate problems or create urgency to increase costs. This perception keeps people away even when care is needed.
Coming from a technology-driven background, we took a different approach. The goal was not to build a clinic known for complex procedures.
It was to create awareness early and consistently. Preventive dental healthcare became the focus. Education before intervention. Helping patients understand their oral health clearly, without pressure or fear.
Patients often fear being told alarming things. They worry about unnecessary treatments. What they needed was information they could verify and trust without persuasion.
An AI-based oral scanning system that fits naturally into our philosophy of transparency and trust.
As a techno savvy entrepreneur, the founder spent time researching tools that could introduce objectivity into dental care. scanO stood out because it was simple to use, affordable, and visual.
This changed the experience completely.
The information no longer came only from the doctor. It came from an AI system that showed the condition clearly.
For many patients, this mattered. AI does not threaten or exaggerate. It shows what is present. That visibility helped rebuild trust.
Once scanO became part of the workflow at Dentole Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, patient response shifted.
Patients felt reassured because they could see their oral condition themselves. They no longer relied only on verbal explanation. Conversations became calmer and more factual.
The clinic opened its first location in July 2025, with a strong focus on serving surrounding and semi-rural areas of Kolhapur.
The next step is already planned.
A mobile dental clinic that will travel to underserved areas. scanO will be part of this mobile setup as well.
The idea is simple.
Do not wait for pain to bring people to the clinic. Bring awareness to where people live.
This journey shows that the clinic of the future does not always begin with clinicians alone. It begins with intent. With technology used responsibly. With trust placed back into the hands of patients.
At Dentole Multi Speciality Dental Clinic in Kolhapur, preventive dental care is no longer an afterthought. Supported by transparent tools like scanO, it is becoming the foundation of how care is delivered.
The future of dentistry is not coming. It is already being here.
