Explore a comprehensive case study on how DGTL built V Care Dental Clinic’s digital presence from scratch, leveraging SMM and local SEO and setting up dental camp to ensure trust, credibility, and patient engagement.


The Customer
​​​V Care Dental Clinic is a multi-specialty dental practice with locations in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, offering comprehensive dental services ranging from pediatric care to advanced cosmetic and implant dentistry. Despite their clinical excellence and patient-centric approach, V Care faced challenges in establishing a strong digital presence and effectively communicating their unique value proposition to a broader audience.
