Why Choose Dentisti Croazia - Poliklinika Smile d.o.o. Opatija in Rijeka?

Poliklinika Smile is a leading dental polyclinic in Opatija, Croatia, founded in 2011. A Straumann Pro Arch Centre of Excellence with ISO 9001 certification, offering 7 branches of dentistry beachside on the Kvarner Riviera.

Poliklinika Smile, also marketed internationally as Dentisti Croazia, is one of Croatia's most renowned dental polyclinics, located in the center of Opatija—Croatia's most celebrated Adriatic Riviera resort town. Founded in 2011, the clinic is situated at Marsala Tita 129, Opatija, with a uniquely prestigious address: the entrance sits right on the beach, adjacent to the Beach Bar Colosseum and below the Savoy Hotel. This seafront location makes Poliklinika Smile one of the most scenically positioned dental clinics in the world, blending world-class dental care with the resort atmosphere of the Opatija Riviera.

Led by Dr. Darko Slovša, an oral surgeon and official Straumann Opinion Leader, Poliklinika Smile holds the prestigious designation of a Certified Straumann Pro Arch Centre of Excellence—a recognition awarded to only the most experienced and qualified implant centers globally. The clinic holds ISO 9001 quality certification and carries the "Safe Stay in Croatia" designation. With seven distinct branches of dentistry under one roof, Poliklinika Smile is recognized as one of the highest-quality dental facilities not only in Croatia but internationally, attracting patients from across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond who seek complex full-arch implant treatments and aesthetic smile transformations in an exceptional coastal setting.

Treatments & Specialties

Poliklinika Smile covers seven complete branches of dentistry, providing a comprehensive clinical offering that spans from preventive care to highly complex surgical and aesthetic procedures:

  • Implantology — Using Straumann implants with a lifetime guarantee. The clinic specializes in single implants, All-on-4, All-on-6, and the innovative No Bone Implant (subperiosteal implant technique) for patients who cannot undergo conventional bone augmentation.
  • Oral Surgery — Led by Dr. Darko Slovša, the surgical team performs the full range of oral surgical procedures including bone augmentation, sinus lift, and complex extractions using advanced techniques.
  • PRP Method — Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy for accelerated post-surgical healing and improved implant integration outcomes.
  • Digital Smile Design (DSD) — A certified Digital Smile Design clinic, using digital planning tools to visualize and design customized smile transformations before treatment begins.
  • Dental Aesthetics — Zirconia crowns, dental bridges, porcelain veneers, and teeth whitening for comprehensive cosmetic transformations.
  • Orthodontics — Invisible braces and modern aligner systems including Invisalign and ClearCorrect for discreet teeth straightening.
  • Ozone Therapy — Minimally invasive ozone-based treatment for caries management and sterilization, reducing the need for drilling in appropriate cases.
  • Conscious Sedation — Sedation options for anxious patients, ensuring a relaxed and stress-free treatment experience.
  • Facial Aesthetics — Botox (Vistabel), hyaluronic acid fillers, and PRP facial treatments, extending the clinic's offering into the broader medical aesthetics field.
  • General Dentistry — Preventive care, routine examinations, and restorative treatments to support long-term oral health.

Technology & Facilities

Poliklinika Smile operates with a full digital dentistry infrastructure, including a dedicated digital dental laboratory for the in-house fabrication of prosthetics, crowns, and other restorations. As a Straumann Pro Arch Centre of Excellence, the clinic is equipped and certified for the most complex full-arch implant cases, using the latest Straumann implant systems and surface technologies. Digital Smile Design software integrates photography, digital planning, and design visualization to create patient-specific smile blueprints before any physical treatment begins. The clinic's use of PRP therapy, ozone treatment, and conscious sedation reflects a commitment to incorporating evidence-based adjunct therapies that improve outcomes and patient comfort. The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification, confirming that its quality management systems meet the highest international standards. The beachfront clinic in Opatija also benefits from a unique physical environment that is both aesthetically beautiful and functionally modern.

Dr. Darko Slovša's role as a Straumann Opinion Leader further confirms that his expertise is recognized at an international level within the implant community. Opatija itself is one of the most beautiful and comfortable destinations on the Adriatic coast, with a long history as a luxury resort destination and a wealth of grand hotels, excellent restaurants, and coastal promenades.

For international patients, the clinic's experience with dental tourism is deep: accommodation, transport, and leisure activities can all be arranged through the affiliated Top Adria travel agency, allowing patients to focus entirely on their treatment and recovery while enjoying the beauty of the Opatija Riviera. The clinic's ISO 9001 certification and consistent patient testimonials confirm a standard of care and patient management that is genuinely exceptional.

Opatija is Croatia's premier seaside resort town, situated approximately 15 km west of Rijeka along the scenic Lungomare coastal promenade. The city is easily reached via Rijeka International Airport (approximately 30 km), regular bus and taxi services from Rijeka city center, and by road from the Italian border (approximately 30 km) and Slovenia. International patients flying to Trieste, Pula, or Zagreb can arrange transfers to Opatija via the clinic's affiliated travel agency. The town of Opatija, with its grand Austro-Hungarian villas, luxury hotels, world-class seafood restaurants, and the famous Lungomare walking path, provides one of the most pleasant settings in all of Europe for dental tourism recovery—an environment that turns a dental trip into a genuinely memorable experience.

I am not writing this review as a patient, but as a fellow doctor of dental medicine. Doctor Slovša organized a "zero bone" implant demonstration course for several colleagues and me. It is an understatement to say that I was delighted with the professionalism, collegiality and expertise of the respected colleague. I would also like to mention that I have been practicing implantology myself for over twenty-five years, so I know what I am talking about and it is not easy to impress me. In my opinion, Smile Polyclinic is the first address for "intractable" cases. I would like to thank Dr. Slovša and his team for the exceptional experience.

Response from the owner 5 months agoDear Dr. Korda, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your impressions. Your compliment means a lot to us, especially since we know how difficult it is in our profession to truly impress our colleagues. It was a pleasure to host you on the course and exchange experiences in such a stimulating atmosphere. We look forward to future meetings and cooperation!

Absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! I had All-on-4 implants placed at Smile Clinic, and I can say that the entire process exceeded all my expectations – both as a patient and as a person who was looking for a solution that I was not able to get at such a high level even in Frankfurt! I would like to give special praise to the team who made everything extremely pleasant with their knowledge, experience and warm approach: 🔹 Dr. Nina Lukić – an extraordinary expert with an incredible sense of detail and communication with the patient 🔹 Dental assistant Majda Matacin – incredibly empathetic, calm and always one step ahead in preparing each procedure 🔹 Reception – Daria Komadina – always smiling, clear in information, professional and ready to help 🔹 Dental technician Ena Rupčić – top-notch work, aesthetics and precision that can be seen and felt immediately 🔹 Dr. Slovša – extremely calm, confident and reliable in everything he does I was particularly impressed by the speed of execution, but without compromising on quality. Every phase was precisely planned, painless, with clear instructions and great attention to me as a patient. Not only did I get a solution here that they couldn't provide me in Germany, but I felt like part of a team – as if everyone genuinely cared about my health, smile and satisfaction. Professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, excellent organization, cleanliness of the space, state-of-the-art equipment and a sense of security – all of this makes this clinic a place I would recommend to everyone, whether they are looking for a simple procedure or a complete reconstruction like All-on-4. THANK YOU for giving me back my smile, both literally and symbolically! We will definitely see you again – and I am already recommending you to everyone I know!

Response from the owner 7 months agoDear Mr. Paškvalić, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a nice and warm review.

We would like to thank you especially for the compliments for our staff, your words will be a sincere recognition and encouragement for each of us to continue. Dr. Slovša also thanks you especially for your trust and kind words. We try to approach each patient with care, expertise and understanding, and we are glad that you recognized that. Your trust is an honor for us, and the satisfaction you felt is the greatest confirmation of our work. We look forward to seeing you again and thank you for recommending us further!

5 stars aren't enough to rate the professionalism, expertise, kindness, and cleanliness of this clinic. In Italy, the same work would have cost at least four times as much. Against their better interests, they did a perfect repair and delivered it in three hours, then the rest was a new job with top-quality Straumann materials. Anyone who says you pay less abroad and get less are just idiots. Go to your dentist and tell them you're working under the table and pay 20 times the tax if they invoice you. In any case, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs professionalism and speed.

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner 8 months agoDear Mr. Vigino, We sincerely thank you for your kind words and for your trust in the Smile Polyclinic in Opatija. We are extremely happy that you recognized our professionalism, expertise, kindness, and the attention we pay to hygiene and the quality of our materials. We are honored to know that our daily commitment is appreciated and that you had a positive, prompt, and effective experience. Sincere comments like yours are the best reward for our work and a great motivation to continue improving every day. You will always be welcome in our clinic. Warmest regards from the entire Smile Polyclinic team! Translated by Google ・ See original (Italian)

With Smile Polyclinic, my suffering came to an end. I went through the entire process carefree and relaxed because I knew I was in the safe hands of Dr. Darko Slovša, Dr. Anja Gazdik and the rest of the TEAM. As for payment, there were no unpleasant surprises, as we agreed and made an offer, it was the same until the very end. With this review, I would like to thank them all for everything they have done for me. The best service and the best people. Thank you once again.

We were recommended by trusted friends to Poliklinika Smile for our dental care. After the first appointment, we discussed the financial and professional aspects, and were extremely satisfied. First and foremost, Dr. Darko, a highly knowledgeable and humble person, and second, but not least, the entire staff, who are incredibly friendly. The professionalism is excellent, and the treatments are cutting-edge. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs it. Stefania, Giuliano, and Martina.

Not very serious company, I booked an online consultation via zoom, after 3 confirmation messages sent in 7 days and Plus half an hour of waiting on the day of the appointment no one showed up. I repeat not very serious.

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner a year agoDear Ms. Weyenberg, Thank you for contacting us and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We attempted to contact you by phone this morning, but unfortunately, we were unable to reach you. After checking our system, your request for a Zoom consultation has been scheduled for January 6th, which is a public holiday in Croatia and therefore not a working day. Unfortunately, our center was closed and we were unable to process your appointment. We deeply regret this unfortunate situation and wish to emphasize that this is an unexpected event completely beyond our control. Patient satisfaction is always our priority, and we are committed to providing personalized, attentive, and professional service to each and every patient. We understand your disappointment and respect your opinion, but we believe the negative review does not reflect our dedication and commitment to our patients. We would be truly grateful if you would give us another opportunity to demonstrate the quality of our service and, if possible, consider amending your review once we have had a chance to resolve this misunderstanding. We are at your complete disposal to schedule a new consultation via Zoom. Please feel free to contact us by email, landline at 00385 51 561 400, mobile at 00385 91 270 6600, or WhatsApp at 00385 91 270 6603. We will do everything possible to meet your expectations.

I had to have my wisdom tooth extracted and I have nothing but praise for Dr. Slovsa. If someone had told me that I wouldn't feel any pain during or after the procedure, I wouldn't have believed them. I didn't even have any swelling. So a big thank you, and definitely a recommendation for such a professional surgeon and his entire extremely kind staff from the reception to the dentist....
