Poliklinika IMED (Poliklinika i dnevna bolnica IMED) is a private polyclinic and day hospital located at Selska cesta 90A in Zagreb, Croatia. The clinic has established itself as one of the most comprehensively staffed and technologically advanced private dental and medical institutions in Croatia. IMED's team of full-time employed specialists is described as the largest and most complete among private dental clinics in the country -- with every dental specialty and subspecialty covered by at least one dedicated specialist. This breadth of in-house expertise means that patients receive specialist-level care across all procedures, without exception.
The clinic operates across four core service areas -- dental medicine, aesthetic surgery, ENT (otorhinolaryngology), and orthodontics -- delivering a genuinely multidisciplinary healthcare offer under a single roof. With operating hours of 07:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and Saturday appointments available by arrangement, IMED accommodates a wide range of patient scheduling needs.
Dental Medicine
The dental medicine department covers the full spectrum of specialist dental care, from routine prevention and restorative treatment through to advanced implantology and complex prosthetic rehabilitation. Implantology is a particular area of strength: IMED has placed thousands of dental implants and has invested heavily in the digital infrastructure and specialist expertise required to manage complex implant cases with the highest level of precision and predictability.
Prosthetic restorations -- including crowns, bridges, veneers, and implant-supported prostheses -- are all fabricated in the clinic's integrated digital dental laboratory using CAD/CAM technology, 3D printing, and premium materials including zirconia, titanium, and high-performance polymer compounds. The laboratory's digital production capability ensures consistently precise fit, optimal aesthetics, and fast turnaround for restorative and prosthetic work.
IMED 3.0 -- Full Digital Dentistry
Over the past three years, IMED has achieved complete digitalization across all areas of dental medicine and dental technology. Analogue processes have been systematically replaced by digital alternatives, delivering measurable improvements in precision, treatment speed, and patient comfort. IMED describes its current technology stack as representing the highest possible level of dental digitalization currently available in clinical practice.
Key digital capabilities include CBCT (cone beam CT) imaging processed through DTX implant planning software, enabling 3D jaw reconstruction and precise virtual implant placement before surgery. Stereofotogrammetry is used for implant registration -- the only fully precise method for capturing the exact position of implants -- ensuring that prosthetic work built on the implants fits with exceptional accuracy. Dynamic navigation surgery connects the patient via special sensors to a real-time guidance device, giving the surgeon precise three-dimensional confirmation of implant positioning during the procedure. Intraoral digital scanning replaces conventional impressions in all ambulatory procedures, improving precision and patient comfort simultaneously. A digital facial bow ensures perfect individualization of each prosthetic restoration.
Aesthetic Surgery and ENT
Beyond dental medicine, IMED operates specialist departments in aesthetic surgery and otorhinolaryngology (ENT). The aesthetic surgery department provides cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures within the clinic's day hospital infrastructure, enabling procedures under appropriate anaesthesia and monitored recovery within the same facility. The ENT department covers ear, nose, and throat conditions including diagnostic consultations and minor surgical interventions in this specialist area.
Orthodontics
The orthodontics department provides full treatment for malocclusion and dental alignment in children, adolescents, and adults. The specialist orthodontist team covers fixed bracket systems, clear aligner therapy, and retention management, with treatment planning supported by the clinic's digital diagnostic infrastructure including CBCT imaging and intraoral scanning for precise orthodontic records.
Day Hospital Infrastructure
IMED is licensed as both a polyclinic and a day hospital, which distinguishes it from standard dental practices. This status means the facility can perform procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthesia and monitor patients through their recovery period entirely on-site. The day hospital infrastructure supports the aesthetic surgery department in particular but also enables complex dental surgical cases to be managed under sedation where clinically appropriate, broadening the range of treatment options available to patients with dental anxiety or complex medical histories.
Treatment Planning and Digital Diagnostics
The digital infrastructure extends beyond procedure delivery into the diagnostic and treatment planning phase. CBCT imaging and DTX software allow the creation of detailed three-dimensional models of each patient's jaw, bone structure, and dentition before any treatment begins. These models inform implant planning, orthodontic case analysis, and surgical preparation -- enabling the clinical team to anticipate challenges and customise each treatment plan with precision before the first appointment in the treatment chair. Patients benefit from a transparent, data-driven planning process in which the clinical rationale for each recommendation is grounded in objective diagnostic imaging rather than subjective clinical impression alone.
Location and Access
Poliklinika IMED is located at Selska cesta 90A in Zagreb, accessible by public transport and with parking available in the vicinity. The clinic is wheelchair accessible. Instalment payment options are available, making larger treatment investments more financially manageable for patients. Full service information and the option to book an appointment are available at imed.hr.
