Dentelli

Dentelli is one of Split's most celebrated dental clinics, established in 2019 by Dr. Martina Karlo, DMD, a dental specialist with 20 years of clinical experience in both Germany and Croatia. In just a few years of operation, Dentelli has built an outstanding reputation in Split and across the international dental tourism community, earning recognition as one of Croatia's top-rated dental destinations. Located at Ul. Josipa Jovica 93, Split, the clinic combines world-class dental expertise with the unparalleled lifestyle appeal of Dalmatia - making it a premier choice for patients who want exceptional dental care alongside a memorable coastal experience.

Dr. Karlo and her team of prominent Croatian dental specialists have collectively performed over 14,000 treatments, establishing a deep well of clinical expertise across implantology, aesthetic dentistry, and restorative care. Dentelli in Split has received recognition including EU funding support from the European Fund for Regional Development, reflecting its standing as a high-quality healthcare provider. The clinic operates Monday to Friday 8:00-20:00 and Saturday 8:00-14:00, providing excellent accessibility for both local and international patients visiting Split for dental treatment.

Treatments & Specialties

Dentelli in Split specializes in the full spectrum of modern dental medicine, with particular strength in implantology, cosmetic dentistry, and smile design. Dental implants - including the highly sought-after All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols - are a flagship service. The All-on-4 technique uses just four strategically positioned implants to support a complete fixed dental arch, enabling patients to leave with a fully functional, beautiful new smile in a remarkably short time. For patients with more complex bone anatomy or higher prosthetic demands, the All-on-6 approach provides additional stability and load distribution.

Veneers are a signature cosmetic treatment at Dentelli in Split. Dental veneers - ultra-thin shells of high-quality ceramic or composite material bonded to the visible surfaces of teeth - can correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or irregular shapes, delivering a dramatic and natural-looking smile transformation. The team's expertise in smile design ensures that veneer treatments are carefully planned to suit each patient's facial features, skin tone, and aesthetic preferences.

Dental crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth with precision-crafted prosthetics, while professional teeth cleaning using GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) Airflow technology provides a uniquely thorough and comfortable prophylaxis experience. GBT Airflow is a state-of-the-art cleaning system that uses a combination of warm water, air, and fine powder particles to eliminate biofilm (bacterial plaque) efficiently and gently - a significant upgrade over traditional cleaning methods. Pediatric dentistry (Dentelli for Kids) ensures that the youngest patients in Split receive age-appropriate, supportive dental care in a child-friendly environment.

Technology & Facilities

Dentelli in Split is equipped with modern dental technology reflecting Dr. Karlo's commitment to delivering evidence-based, cutting-edge care. The GBT Airflow cleaning system distinguishes the clinic's hygiene protocol, offering patients in Split a more comfortable and more thorough prophylaxis than conventional approaches. Advanced digital imaging - including digital X-ray and panoramic radiography - supports precise diagnostics across all treatment disciplines.

Implant planning at Dentelli utilizes digital workflows to ensure implant placement is guided by three-dimensional data, maximizing safety and accuracy. The clinic's facilities are designed with a modern, relaxing aesthetic that reflects Dr. Karlo's holistic philosophy of patient care - the environment itself is intended to reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing during dental visits. The clinic's active presence on digital platforms reflects its transparent, patient-education-focused approach, with information shared via YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
