Dental Centar Skaricic is a modern dental and oral surgical clinic in Split, Croatia, distinguished by the exceptional academic and clinical credentials of its founder and lead clinician, Dr. Josip Skaricic. Located at Vinkovacka ul. 3, 21000 Split, the clinic has earned a perfect 5.00 patient rating across numerous reviews, reflecting consistent delivery of professional, kind, and clinically excellent care. The clinic's mission is clearly stated: to provide patients with 'a healthy and beautiful smile and improved quality of life' - a goal pursued through comprehensive dental and oral surgical services delivered by a highly qualified team in Split.
Dr. Josip Skaricic became one of the youngest oral surgeons in Croatia, subsequently earning his doctoral dissertation in dental prosthetics at the University of Zagreb - one of Croatia's most prestigious academic institutions. This dual expertise in oral surgery and dental prosthetics provides Dental Centar Skaricic in Split with a uniquely strong foundation for complex implant cases, full-mouth restorations, and aesthetic dentistry. Working alongside Dr. Skaricic is Zrinka Bojcic, DMD, who focuses on endodontics (root canal therapy), dental prosthetics, and aesthetic dentistry - ensuring comprehensive specialist coverage across all major dental disciplines.
Treatments & Specialties
Dental Centar Skaricic in Split offers a comprehensive range of dental treatments spanning surgical, prosthetic, and aesthetic dentistry. Dental implants are a flagship service - the clinic's oral surgery expertise makes it particularly well-suited to managing complex implant cases, including those requiring bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, or careful navigation of anatomical challenges. Implants at Dental Centar Skaricic provide permanent, natural-looking tooth replacements that preserve jawbone structure and integrate seamlessly with surrounding natural teeth.
Dental prosthetics - a specialty of both Dr. Skaricic and Dr. Bojcic - encompasses crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures. Dr. Skaricic's doctoral research in prosthetics brings an unusually deep academic understanding of materials science, biomechanics, and aesthetics to the clinic's prosthetic treatments in Split. This translates into prosthetics that not only look natural but also function optimally over the long term. Dental veneers offer a transformative aesthetic solution for patients seeking dramatic smile improvements without extensive preparation of natural tooth structure.
Endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) - led by Dr. Bojcic - saves natural teeth from extraction by removing infected or damaged pulp tissue, sterilizing the root canals, and sealing them against reinfection. Modern endodontic techniques and instruments make this procedure far more comfortable and efficient than in previous generations. Aesthetic dentistry at Dental Centar Skaricic in Split encompasses teeth whitening, composite bonding, and smile makeover planning, enabling patients to achieve the beautiful smile they desire through customized treatment combinations.
Comprehensive general dentistry services - including preventive care (check-ups, professional cleaning), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns), and oral surgery (extractions) - ensure that Dental Centar Skaricic can serve as a complete dental care provider for patients in Split and international dental tourists visiting Croatia.
Technology & Facilities
As a modern dental clinic in Split, Dental Centar Skaricic is equipped with contemporary diagnostic and treatment technology appropriate to its specialist scope. Advanced imaging - including panoramic digital radiography and cone beam CT (CBCT) for 3D assessment - supports the precision implant planning and prosthetic design that the clinic's specialist team delivers. CBCT imaging in particular is essential for oral surgical cases, allowing Dr. Skaricic to assess bone volume, density, and anatomical structures with three-dimensional clarity before planning any implant placement.
Digital workflows within the clinic support the prosthetic design and fabrication process, connecting diagnostic data with treatment planning for optimal prosthetic outcomes. The clinic's facilities in Split are maintained to modern clinical standards, with sterile surgical environments for implant and oral surgery procedures and comfortable, well-equipped treatment rooms for restorative, endodontic, and aesthetic treatments.
