With an eye on the INR 6,000 Cr dental lab market, Smileworks is poised to redefine dental laboratory services and professional education for the Indian dental community.
Dentalkart, India's leading online marketplace for dental supplies, has announced the launch of Smileworks, its new subsidiary dedicated to advancing dental care in the country.
With an eye on the INR 6,000 Cr dental lab market, Smileworks aims to redefine dental laboratory services and professional education for the Indian dental community.
Incorporated in August 2024, Smileworks aims to offer a comprehensive suite of dental laboratory services, including high-quality dental prosthetics, crowns, bridges, implants, and other customized dental solutions.
These services will be directly accessible to dentists and dental clinics, providing essential tools for improved patient care.
In addition to offering these critical laboratory services, Smileworks will act as an educational hub for dental professionals. It will host workshops, courses, and training sessions focused on enhancing dentists' skills and ensuring they are up to date with the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry.
This dual approach of offering high-quality dental solutions and educational opportunities is expected to set new standards in the industry.
Dr Vikas Agarwal, founder and CEO of Dentalkart, highlighted Smileworks' strategic importance in their mission to transform India's dental care space. "Smileworks represents a crucial addition to our mission of transforming the dental care space in India. Our goal with Smileworks is to provide the highest quality dental prosthetics and empower dental professionals through education. This integration of laboratory services and education is designed to enhance patient outcomes and foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation."
Reportedly, Smileworks will complement Dentalkart’s existing offerings by bridging the gap between product acquisition and practical application.
By focusing on education, the initiative aims to optimize the use of Dentalkart’s extensive product range, thereby enhancing the quality of dental care in India.
Looking ahead, Smileworks plans to expand its range of dental solutions and establish a nationwide presence.
The subsidiary aims to open multiple branches in key cities and collaborate with dental colleges, universities, and international laboratories to align its services with global standards.
Dr Agarwal further said, "By bringing together education and laboratory services, we are creating a space where professionals can access high-quality solutions and the latest dental techniques in one place. This new venture reflects Dentalkart's ongoing investment in improving the dental ecosystem in India, ensuring the availability of the best products, services, and educational opportunities for dental professionals nationwide."
