July 30, 2026- DONTE GROUP, an oral health and care group, has announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Institutos Odontológicos (IO), one of the leading oral health brands in Catalonia. Both organizations share the focus on patient accompaniment and the importance of integrating oral health into general well-being, with a comprehensive care approach that combines specialization, clinical continuity and proximity.

IO, with more than 35 years of experience, has treated more than one million patients and has a network of more than 40 clinics across Spain. Its team comprises more than 400 professionals and more than 200 multidisciplinary collaborating dentists, each dedicated exclusively to their area of expertise. IO provides comprehensive care covering all dental treatments, integrating different clinical disciplines to address patients’ preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic needs.

In relation to the agreement, Roger Sobrepera, CEO of Instituts Odontològics, points out that “we are very proud that one of the largest oral health groups in Spain has placed its trust in our project and in our company. DONTE GROUP has been able to recognise the positive impact we have been making for more than 35 years and with which we have managed -and will continue to do- to accompany more than one million people in their oral health care“.

For his part, Javier Martín Ocaña, CEO of DONTE GROUP, points out that “we are very happy to start working side by side with IOA, a firm with unique strengths, highly experienced and committed dentists, a network of clinics that presents exceptional quality in all of them, and a shared purpose of transferring the importance of oral health to society as a whole“.

The acquisition is part of DONTE GROUP’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, which aims to serve more than 1,300,000 patients, exceeding 600 of its own clinics. With this operation, DONTE GROUP will exceed 480 own clinics in Spain, reinforcing its scale of care and its capacity for care in a market where prevention, health education and access to complete dental treatments are key factors in improving health and quality of life indicators.

During the last financial year, DONTE GROUP reached the record number of nearly 750,000 diagnoses, a milestone that reinforces its focus on early detection, prevention and access to complete and quality dental care. With the incorporation of IOA, DONTE GROUP expands its footprint in Catalonia and reinforces its value proposition throughout the national territory, relying on a network of specialised professionals and a care model aimed at quality and patient experience.
