Last February, on the occasion of the feast of Saint Apollonia<\/strong>, patron saint of dentists, the Balearic Dental College<\/strong> presented its highest institutional recognition to Dr. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila: the gold badge. Thirty-five years of career, of patients accompanied, of techniques learned and perfected, were all summed up in that moment. Rarely does an award so accurately reflect what lies behind it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the gold badge of the Dental College<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The gold badge is the highest distinction awarded by the Balearic Dental College<\/strong> to its members. It is granted to professionals who have demonstrated, over the course of decades, a sustained commitment to dentistry: to care quality, professional ethics and the development of the specialty across the islands. It is not a prize for a single achievement, but the recognition of an entire career.<\/p>

The presentation takes place each year as part of the Saint Apollonia celebration, the patron saint of dentists, a landmark date in the college calendar that brings the profession together in Palma de Mallorca. That Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila received the award in that context carries a special symbolic weight: it is the Balearic dental community recognising one of its own.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

35 years of dentistry in the Balearic Islands: Dr. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila's career<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There are dentists who practise for decades, and there are dentists who, in addition to practising, build. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila belongs to the second category. Since he began his professional journey in the Balearic Islands, his career has been marked by a constant pursuit of clinical excellence that goes far beyond the daily consultation.<\/p>

Over these 35 years, Dr. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila has developed a solid specialisation in areas such as periodontics<\/strong> and dental implants<\/strong>, two of the most demanding disciplines in modern dentistry. Periodontics<\/a> requires an in-depth knowledge of the tooth’s supporting tissues and a diagnostic ability that is only refined through years of practice; implants, for their part, combine surgical precision with long-term aesthetic planning. Mastering both areas speaks to a clinical profile committed to the most complex cases.<\/p>

But Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila’s career is not measured only in specialities. It is also measured in continuing education. In a field where protocols evolve and materials improve every few years, staying up to date is not optional: it is an obligation to the patient. Dr. D\u00e1vila has combined clinical practice with research and academic training, a path that led him to complete his doctoral thesis \u2014 recognised with a cum laude distinction \u2014 and to receive awards such as the SEPA Young Professionals prize, which recognises the contribution of young researchers to periodontics at a European level.<\/p>

That combination \u2014 clinical practice, research and teaching \u2014 is precisely what the Balearic Dental College has chosen to recognise with the gold badge. Not an isolated milestone, but a way of understanding the profession that Dr. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila has cultivated throughout his entire career.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Plat\u00f3n Dental: a clinic built on that same philosophy<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The professional story of Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila is also, to a great extent, the story of Plat\u00f3n Dental<\/strong>. The clinic he founded in Palma de Mallorca<\/strong> was born with a clear vocation: to offer high-level dentistry in a close, welcoming environment, where the patient feels accompanied at every step of the treatment.<\/p>

Over the years, that project grew. Today, Plat\u00f3n Dental has two centres in the Balearic Islands: the dental clinic in Palma<\/strong><\/a> and the dental clinic in Manacor<\/strong><\/a>. Two spaces that share a team, values and the same way of working \u2014 the one that Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila has been refining over three and a half decades.<\/p>

Spending many years improving smiles also means constantly improving as a professional and as a team. Every recognition received \u2014 and the gold badge of the Balearic Dental College is the most recent and significant \u2014 reinforces that commitment: to keep striving for the best service and the best care for every patient who walks through the clinic’s door.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An award that belongs to everyone<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila collected the gold badge at the Saint Apollonia ceremony, he did not do so alone. Behind 35 years of career there is a team, there are patients who entrusted their oral health<\/a> to those hands, there are families who have seen their smiles change. An award like this is not only personal: it is the reflection of everything that has been built around it.<\/p>

For Plat\u00f3n Dental, this recognition is also a starting point. The gold badge is not a full stop, but a confirmation that the path taken makes sense<\/strong> and that it is worth continuing along it with the same rigour and the same enthusiasm with which it all began, 35 years ago, in the Balearic Islands. An enthusiasm that remains fully intact in Dr. Plat\u00f3n D\u00e1vila.<\/p>
