At the heart of the island, Dr Rull Dental Clinic in Ibiza has become a symbol of trust, professionalism and patient care, recently celebrating its 10th anniversary as a leading centre for oral health. Its story began over four decades ago, carried forward today by Dr José Luis Rull Rivera, who has successfully combined tradition, cutting-edge technology and personalised attention to become a benchmark for both Ibizan residents and the island’s international community.
The clinic’s history dates back to 1982, when Dr José Luis Rull García founded a general medical practice in Ibiza. In 2015, his son, Dr José Luis Rull Rivera, introduced a new branch: dentistry. Under his leadership, the clinic evolved into a comprehensive dental centre in Ibiza, covering practically every field of dentistry. Services now include paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, implantology, cosmetic dentistry and endodontics.
One of the pillars of the clinic’s success has been its constant commitment to modernisation. A recent refurbishment has expanded the waiting area, increased the number of dental surgeries to seven, improved the welcoming “Dr Rull Kids” children’s area, and created a fully equipped training room for professionals. This dedicated education space allows live demonstrations and advanced methodology workshops without leaving the island—helping keep Ibiza’s dental care at the forefront.
Advanced technology for precise treatments
Dr Rull Dental Clinic stands out for its state-of-the-art technology. The practice is equipped with intraoral scanners, 3D printers and milling machines, intraoperative microscopes and three-dimensional radiology. These tools enable fully digital surgical planning, minimally invasive treatments and highly efficient care, particularly in orthodontics, oral surgery, implants and bone regeneration.
Every treatment is guided by the philosophy that oral health comes first. Each patient is given ample time during consultations, ensuring a personalised and reassuring approach—especially for children, who benefit from attentive care from a very young age.
Children’s dentistry and preventive care
The clinic has been a pioneer in creating spaces and services dedicated to children. The colourful “Dr Rull Kids” area, designed specifically for young patients, makes dental visits fun and stress-free. Children can play, draw or watch videos while receiving specialist dental care, including treatment from birth through its “Odontobaby” programme.
This early-age focus allows the team to detect and treat potential bone anomalies, malocclusions or even sleep apnoea at the earliest stage, promoting long-term oral health.
In today’s digital age, Dr Rull Dental Clinic has also incorporated artificial intelligence tools to support diagnostics and treatment planning. However, Dr Rull insists that AI must always be overseen by experienced clinicians and never replace human judgement. He also warns of the risks of over-automation, stressing that “the human touch remains the most important factor in dentistry.”
Tradition, technology and humanity serving Ibiza
With more than 40 years of history, a decade as a specialised dental clinic, renovated facilities, advanced technology and a deeply human approach, Dr Rull Dental Clinic in Ibiza has consolidated its reputation as a trusted leader in dental health. Its success lies in a unique blend of family heritage, technological innovation and personalised care—offering not only a child’s very first smile but also the lasting dental health and wellbeing of the whole family.
