Dental Polyclinic Delić is a comprehensive multidisciplinary dental clinic located in Rijeka, Croatia, at Dražice 121d. Founded by Prof. Dr. Zdravko Delić, a former professor, department head, and vice dean at the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the University of Rijeka, the clinic brings academic-level expertise directly into private practice. With over 36 years of clinical and scientific activity, Polyclinic Delić delivers the full spectrum of dental care under one roof, from routine preventive visits to complex implant-supported full-arch rehabilitations, with a guarantee issued on all procedures.
Why Choose Dental Polyclinic Delić
Polyclinic Delić is built on a combination of academic pedigree, diagnostic technology, and a genuine commitment to patient comfort. The clinic's founder spent decades as a professor and department chair at the University of Rijeka before establishing the practice, meaning clinical standards are set at an academic level rather than a commercial one. All procedures carry a guarantee, and the first examination is free for new patients. The clinic operates a Planmeca ProMax 3D CBCT, one of the most advanced low-radiation 3D cone beam imaging systems on the market, enabling highly precise diagnostics and implant planning that many smaller clinics cannot offer. The practice also provides dental sedation for anxious patients, and free parking is available on-site, removing common practical barriers to attending appointments.
Treatments and Specialties
The clinic covers every major specialty of dental medicine in a single location. Implantology encompasses single-tooth implants, multi-unit implant-supported bridges, and full-arch restorations, all planned with 3D CBCT imaging. Fixed and removable prosthetics include crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported prostheses. Aesthetic dentistry addresses smile design, ceramic veneers, and tooth whitening. Endodontics and restorative dentistry cover root canal treatment and composite fillings. Orthodontics offers braces and alignment correction for both adults and children. Oral surgery handles extractions, impacted teeth, and surgical preparation for prosthetics. Periodontology treats gum disease. Dental laser procedures and sedation are available for added precision and patient comfort. Pediatric dental medicine provides age-appropriate care for children. Aesthetic medicine services for the face and lips round out the offering.
