What does it cost to open a dental clinic in India?
A single-chair clinic typically needs the dental chair and unit, an X-ray/RVG, an autoclave, a compressor and suction, instruments and handpieces, interiors and furniture, signage, a computer with clinic software, registration and licences, initial consumables, a rent deposit and some working capital.
Depending on city and brand choices, a Basic setup can start around a few lakh, while a Premium clinic in a metro can run much higher. This tool ships with editable defaults for each tier so you get a realistic number for your own situation.
Don't forget working capital
Many new dentists budget only for equipment and interiors and run short in month one. Always keep a buffer for rent, salaries and consumables until the patient flow builds. This calculator includes a working-capital line so your total reflects what you actually need to open and survive the first months.
