InMedica group acquires Panevėžys-based dental clinic RVL

Continuing previous expansion in the field of dental services, InMedica group has acquired RVL, a dental clinic in Panevėžys which offers oral hygiene and oral surgery services as well as dental fillings, extractions, prosthetics and implants. RVL is the first dental clinic that the healthcare group has acquired in Panevėžys and the fourth in Lithuania overall. 

“In the past, the dental services offered at most InMedica clinics were limited to primary dental care and focused on simple treatments. However, after observing a growing demand in the market for secondary care and a broader range of dental services, several years ago we began a strategic expansion of those services in several Lithuanian cities – Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. Going forward, we will be able to offer a wider range of dental services such as oral surgery, implantology, orthodontic treatment, among other, to our patients in Panevėžys,” says Kęstutis Broniukaitis, CEO of InMedica group.

The plan, the CEO adds, is to maintain and further develop the clinic’s extensive experience and loyal patient base: “RVL is one of the longest operating dental clinics in Panevėžys, so patients have great trust in its doctors’ skills and are happy with the high quality of services. We will try to ensure that, for the team, our investment becomes yet another incentive to work here, benefiting everyone involved.”

The RVL dental clinic was established in 2008. Its facilities include five modern dental offices where over 7,000 patients are treated each year. The current team of 17 specialists will continue their work at the clinic. These include dentists, orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, oral hygienists and dental technicians.

“The aim of ensuring the highest quality of dental services is without a doubt the top priority for the RVL clinic. The team’s focus and professionalism over many years have earned the trust of patients and specialists alike, and collaborating with InMedica’s clinics will help to further nurture that trust. We are confident that this partnership will enable us to use our existing know-how even more effectively, to create value for patients, innovate and ensure the success of the business,” says CEO of InMedica group.

The RVL dental clinic had revenue of €1.07 million last year and projects growth to €1.2 million this year.
