Madrid, July 17th 2023..- DONTE GROUP, a leading dental health group in Spain, and all its brands had a revenue of EUR 338.6 million in 2022, 21% more than the previous year, when its revenue was EUR 281.7 million. This figure matches the expansion plan initiated in 2022, which included the opening of 38 new clinics –31 Vitaldentcentres, 3 Moonzclinics, 2 Smysecret flagships and 2 MAEXentres– spread throughout Spain, until reaching a total of 392 in the entire country as of 31 December 2022.
“Without a doubt, 2022 has been a very important year for us. First, because DONTE GROUP established itself as the first dental health group in Spain, which has allowed us to strengthen our position in the dental health sector and has resulted in an increase in our healthcare activity and therefore turnover. Second, because the four brands (Moonz, Smysecret, Vitaldent and MAEX) that comprise the company have experienced growth, currently reaching 413 clinics in operation throughout Spain and one in London”, explains Javier Martín, CEO of DONTE GROUP.
With respect to the number of patients, in 2022 DONTE GROUP, through its four brands, provided care for 582,836 patients. Thus, in its 33 years of operations, the group has provided care to 8.5 million patients. Clearly, this positive trend in the number of patients reflects society’s recognition of the differential value proposition of its different brands.
In their commitment towards innovation, the group invested in the renewal of equipment and the incorporation of state-of-the-art dental technology in the digital flow. Additionally, they allocated nearly EUR 4 million to improving installations and relocating clinics to more strategic locations.
Forecasts for the group in 2023
During the first five months, DONTE GROUP has incorporated, through openings or acquisitions, 12 new centers: 8 Vitaldent clinics (Alcobendas-Chopera, Bravo Murillo, Santa Pola, Yecla, Águilas, Ubrique, Galapagar, and Villaverde), 2 Moonz centers (in San Sebastián and Las Rozas-Madrid), and 2 MAEX clinics (Ferrol and A Coruña). For the next seven months, the forecast is to open 5 more Vitaldent clinics, relocate our Moonz center from London, continue adding leading professionals to our MAEX specialized dental brand (the forecast is to add 5 new clinics to the existing ones in Málaga, Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, and Ferrol). About Smysecret, the company will maintain the 3 flagship Smysecret locations and continuing to increase the reach of the more than the 145 Smy spaces included in the Vitaldent clinics.
“We want to strengthen the trust placed in us by our patients through the commitment and trust we place on our dental professionals. We strive to become a benchmark in terms of good business practices to strengthen our leadership in the sector, reaffirming our purpose of transforming dentistry, society and the planet by making dental health accessible around the world, with a special focus on the people who need it the most”, stated Javier Martín. “At the company we also continue considering new opportunities for expansion internationally, with the aim of increasing our presence in new markets. As of May 2023, in these early months of the year, we have experienced a growth of 13%, resulting in revenues of 155 million euros, with a similar growth across all our brands”, he says.
