Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik

Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik is the primary public health institution serving the Dubrovnik-Neretva County region of Croatia. As a publicly operated healthcare organisation, it provides comprehensive primary and specialist health services to residents across a wide geographic area that stretches from Janjina to Grude and includes the Elaphiti islands off the Dalmatian Coast.

The institution's dental medicine service is staffed by 15 dentists distributed across multiple clinic locations throughout the region to ensure accessible dental care for all residents. Dental services cover the full range of primary dental care, including diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral diseases. This encompasses care for diseases of the teeth and dental tissues, as well as conditions affecting the oral mucosa and tongue.

Routine dental services provided by Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik include examinations, professional cleaning, fillings for dental decay, tooth extractions, and basic restorative procedures. The dental team emphasises preventive care and oral health education to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums over the long term and reduce the need for more complex interventions.

Specialist dental services are available through the institution's referral network, including the dedicated orthodontics clinic staffed by specialist orthodontists. Patients requiring orthodontic treatment for teeth alignment issues can be referred from their regular dentist to the specialist clinic within the same public health organisation.

As part of Croatia's public health system, Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik operates under the oversight of the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance (HZZO). Croatian citizens and residents with valid health insurance coverage are eligible for publicly funded dental and primary healthcare services. The institution ensures that care is provided in accordance with nationally set standards and guidelines for public health services.

Beyond dental care, Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik provides a broad range of primary healthcare services including general medicine, paediatrics, school medicine, occupational medicine, gynaecology, and public health programmes. The institution's network of clinics across the region serves as the first point of contact for the majority of healthcare needs in Dubrovnik and the surrounding county.

International residents, expatriates, and long-term visitors to the Dubrovnik area who are registered within the Croatian healthcare system can access services at Dom Zdravlja Dubrovnik in the same way as local residents. The institution coordinates care across its facilities to direct patients to the most appropriate clinic or specialist for their needs.
