DentalPro has once again published its feature showcasing the dental clinics in Portugal (CAE 8623 \u2013 dental medicine and dentistry activities) with the highest turnover. The sample is based on 600 companies, ranked by Operating Income, and the data refers to 2024 (some clinics still report figures from 2023 and 2022). In this edition, we also include companies that use CAE 862 \u2013 outpatient clinical practice activities in dental medicine and dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The year under review was another year of growth for the dental sector. According to data obtained from SABI Informa, the Operating Income generated by all companies that presented financial results between 2022 and 2024 totalled 886 million euros. The Total Assets of the 600 clinics (804 million euros) thus follow the upward trend of previous years, while net profit (56 million euros) shows a decrease compared to 2023, when it stood at 82 million. As for staffing, the sector continues to break records. In 2024, the 600 clinics in our ranking employed 9,133 professionals, 519 more than in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portrait of the sector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The dental medicine sector in Portugal combines a high level of clinical qualification with significant challenges in terms of access and economic sustainability. In recent years, the number of dentists has grown above international recommendations, creating professional saturation, pressure on incomes, and increasing emigration. At the same time, there are still major inequalities in access, with many Portuguese postponing treatment for financial reasons, which reinforces the role of the National Health Service, the social sector, and private clinics in seeking more complementary and inclusive models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside these challenges, the dental medicine industry in Portugal is undergoing a period of strong modernisation, driven by the adoption of advanced technology and a growing focus on differentiation of clinics and services. The digitalisation of procedures, the use of artificial intelligence in diagnostic support, 3D printing, and the development of new materials allow for more precise, personalised, and faster treatment plans, while also boosting specialisation in areas such as aesthetics, complex rehabilitation, and paediatric dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, clear opportunities are emerging for this market, namely: greater emphasis on clinical quality and patient experience, the creation of partnerships with industry and insurers, the development of integrated oral health solutions, and more strategic, educational communication capable of strengthening trust and the long\u2011term viability of dental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our special Top 600 edition here<\/a>.
