How accurate is this dental clinic setup cost estimate?
The range you see is calibrated against 40+ dental clinic setups ICG has planned or advised on across Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities in India since 2022. Actual costs typically land within +/- 15% of the Recommended preset when you follow the capability map. Big swing factors are dental chair brand (Belmont vs Chinese OEM), whether you add an OPG on day one, and lease-vs-freehold on the space.
Does the estimate include dental chair cost per brand (Belmont, Confident, A-dec, Chinese)?
Yes. The Budget preset assumes Chinese OEM units around 1.2 lakh per chair; Recommended assumes Indian brands like Confident around 2 lakh; Premium assumes Belmont or A-dec at 3.5 lakh and above. Chair count is a stepper in Stage 1 and every dental chair line item multiplies against it.
Do I need to give my phone number to get the PDF plan?
Yes — mobile is required so we can WhatsApp you the plan link as a backup, but you will not be spam-called. Our team reaches out only if you tick 'Timeline — need to open fast' or 'All of the above' in the concerns dropdown, or if you separately book an audit call.
Will ICG call me after I submit?
Only if you select a concern that flags urgency (fastest opening timeline, budget pressure). Otherwise the PDF lands in your inbox within a minute and you decide the next step. There is a WhatsApp button on the success screen if you want to talk immediately.
Can I re-download or edit the plan later?
Yes. The plan link stays live for 30 days. Re-open the calculator with the same email and your Stage 1-4 inputs are pre-filled — change anything, re-download the updated PDF. If you need to keep multiple scenarios, submit each one with a slightly different name so they are saved separately.
What's the difference between Budget, Recommended, and Premium presets?
Budget assumes lowest-price sourcing (Chinese OEM equipment, minimal signage, in-house licences), Recommended assumes ICG's default portfolio spec (Indian brands, professional signage, licence agent), Premium assumes best-in-class (Belmont / A-dec chairs, premium fit-out, full outsourced setup). You can mix presets per line.
Why is HealthPro 360 (PMS) pre-selected?
HealthPro 360 is mandatory in every ICG dental engagement because appointments, billing, recall, and patient records without a PMS create DPDP Act exposure, no audit trail, and no way to run recall automation. The line stays highlighted as Mandatory ICG — you can toggle its preset (Budget / Recommended / Premium) but not remove it.
Does the estimate cover CEA, biomedical waste, and AERB licences?
Yes, under 'Legal + licences' at the bottom of Stage 2. Range assumes a licence-agent fee plus government fees. AERB registration is only needed if you install X-ray equipment (RVG or OPG); the calculator flags it in the timeline if you set imaging spend above zero.
