Dental clinic operator Vivanta has ceased all operations across its locations, citing a lack of financial resources. The closures follow the expiration of a potential acquisition deal.
October 21, 2024
The acquisition offer from Donte Group, the parent company of dental brands including Vitaldent, expired on this date. The deal collapsed while the parties awaited a regulatory decision from the European Commission regarding a 40 million euro state rescue package granted to Vivanta in 2022.

Vivanta officially closed all of its dental clinics. The company stated it could no longer maintain operations following the expiration of the purchase offer and its inability to secure necessary funding. The group had been awaiting a ruling from Brussels on the state aid, which created uncertainty that ultimately impacted the viability of the buyout.
Current Status
Vivanta has shuttered its entire network of dental clinics. The company remains without the financial resources required to continue daily operations after the Donte Group acquisition attempt failed to materialize amid ongoing regulatory review.
Why it matters: The closure of Vivanta impacts a significant portion of the dental healthcare market in Spain. Patients and employees are left in limbo following the collapse of a deal involving a major industry player that had previously received substantial government support.
