Clove Dental Records Largest Single-Day Clinic Expansion In India

Clove Dental, India’s largest dental clinic network, has launched 48 new clinics in a single day as it marks 15 years of operations, the largest single-day expansion by any dental network in the country. The milestone takes the company’s footprint to 715 clinics across 26 cities, supported by over 1,700 dentists, 1,100 dental assistants, and more than 500 professionals supporting its clinical infrastructure.

The expansion reflects the steady rise of organised dentistry in India, a sector historically dominated by fragmented single-clinic practices. Over the past 15 years, Clove Dental has treated more than 3.5 million patients across the full spectrum of dental care—from preventive cleanings and routine caries management to complex full-mouth rehabilitation involving multiple implants and fixed dentures, emerging as a leader across dental specialties, including orthodontics, Invisalign, Whistle Aligners, and braces.

From the outset, Clove Dental has focused on standardizing clinical treatment protocols as well as operational sterilization and hygiene practices to ensure consistency across clinics. These standards are reinforced through unannounced biweekly audits conducted throughout the network.

The company has institutionalized a structured peer-review mechanism that enables dentists to discuss optimal treatment protocols through a proprietary dental application, ensuring that every patient benefits not only from a single clinician’s expertise, but from the collective knowledge of over 1,700 dentists across the network.

Clove Dental has also deployed an integrated practice management system that fully digitises diagnosis, X-rays, treatment planning, and billing. AI-supported decision frameworks within its proprietary cloud platform help enhance treatment planning, improve clinical consistency, and reduce variability.

Standardised pricing and uniform treatment protocols across all clinics further ensure that patients receive the same level of care, transparency, and value—irrespective of location.

Clove Dental’s growth has been anchored in a deep and continuously evolving understanding of the Indian dental patient. Ongoing patient insights have consistently highlighted the importance of ethical, high-quality treatment plans, stringent clinical hygiene standards, and transparent pricing.

Over time, this patient-centric approach has done more than build trust, it has helped reshape expectations and set new benchmarks for organised dentistry. Clove Dental translated these insights into a standardised clinic model supported by disciplined recruitment and operating processes, enabling rapid expansion while maintaining consistent quality. By combining deep patient understanding with strong governance and scalable technology, Clove Dental has not only expanded its footprint but also contributed to raising the standard of organised dental care across India.

Mr. Louis Shakinovsky, Group Chairman, Global Dental Services, said, "We founded Clove Dental with the clear vision of transforming the dental landscape in India by setting consistently high clinical standards. Our goal has always been to make the Clove standard synonymous with the gold standard in dentistry. The continued trust and validation from patients has enabled this growth, and launching 48 clinics in a single day—taking us to 715 clinics—reflects the strength of the foundation our teams have built together.”

Mr. Amarinder Singh, Founder & CEO, Clove Dental, said, "To organise an unorganised sector, scale must be built on systems. For the past 15 years, we have focused on creating repeatable processes supported by strong checks and balances—clinical audits, case reviews, technology oversight, structured recruitment, and governance controls. That foundation allows us to expand with both speed and discipline. Even at 715 clinics, we believe we are still at the beginning of a much larger journey.”

Lt Gen (Retd.) Dr. Vimal Arora, Chief Clinical Officer, Clove Dental, said, "Delivering clinical excellence across a distributed healthcare network requires rigorous control over standards. Every Clove Dental clinic is company-owned and company-managed, enabling consistency in care delivery. We employ specialists across all dental disciplines, and over 75% of our dentists hold MDS degrees. In addition, every doctor undergoes internal validation and accreditation upon joining Clove Dental to ensure the highest level of clinical excellence. This disciplined approach has enabled us to maintain quality while growing at scale.”

Clove Dental continues to invest in advanced diagnostic technologies, AI-enabled sterilisation tracking systems, digital treatment planning tools, and centralised clinical oversight to maintain uniform standards nationwide. The addition of these clinics enhances accessibility to high-quality oral healthcare across North, West, and South India, supporting the company’s long-term vision of building scalable, technology-driven dental infrastructure.
