Poliklinika MakeOver is an innovative medical and dental polyclinic located in Split, Croatia's second-largest city on the Adriatic coast. Born from a family tradition in medicine and dentistry that began in 1994, when its founders were among the first professionals in the region to introduce world-class clinical innovations to Croatia, the polyclinic opened its current form after more than two decades of accumulated expertise and knowledge. Today it operates as a comprehensive destination for both local and international patients, offering dental care, medical aesthetics, dermatology, anti-aging treatments, and aesthetic gynecology -- all under one roof, supported by on-site luxury accommodation.
The dental division is headed by Dr. Matea Matejic, a skilled dental surgeon who began her career in 2014 and completed postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Zagreb in 2017. Dr. Matejic is the author and co-author of multiple scientific publications and continuously advances her expertise through professional courses and congresses both in Croatia and internationally. She also serves as an assistant at the School of Medicine in Split in the Department of Dental Prosthetics and participates in congresses as a lecturer -- a profile that places her at the intersection of clinical practice and academic contribution.
The broader dental team at Poliklinika MakeOver has trained at prestigious international institutions including the Urban Regeneration Institute, IRON Academy, and Dental XP. Their collective expertise has earned the clinic numerous global awards and secured membership in the World Academy of Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Bone Surgery (WAUPS). The clinic is also an official Ambassador for ROOTT, a leading Swiss dental implant brand -- a distinction that reflects the team's advanced implantological capabilities and commitment to using premium materials in every implant case.
Dental implants are a signature strength of the clinic. As a ROOTT Ambassador, the team uses Swiss-precision implant systems to deliver single-tooth replacements, multiple implant restorations, and full-arch solutions including implant-supported bridges and complete prosthetic rehabilitations. Ultrasonic piezoelectric bone surgery -- a technology recognized by WAUPS membership -- allows for minimally invasive, highly precise bone preparation during implant placement, reducing trauma, improving healing times, and enhancing patient comfort compared to conventional drilling techniques.
Prosthodontics encompasses the full range of tooth restoration and replacement services at the clinic, including crowns, veneers, bridges, dentures, and temporary teeth. Crowns are used to restore severely damaged teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Custom-crafted ceramic veneers deliver cosmetic transformations for patients seeking to change the color, shape, or size of their visible teeth. All prosthetic work is designed with attention to both function and aesthetics, ensuring restorations integrate naturally with the patient's existing dentition.
Aesthetic dentistry services include professional teeth whitening, ceramic veneer placement, and comprehensive smile design. Smile design consultations analyze the patient's facial proportions, gum line, lip dynamics, and dental characteristics to create a personalized treatment plan. Digital planning tools allow patients to visualize their expected outcome before any irreversible work begins, aligning expectations and building confidence in the process.
Orthodontics is available for patients of all ages seeking to correct misalignment, crowding, or bite irregularities. The clinic offers both fixed appliances and modern removable aligner systems, accommodating the preferences and lifestyle requirements of each patient. Orthodontic treatment is often incorporated as part of a broader restorative or cosmetic plan, ensuring that the final smile is not only beautiful but also properly aligned and functionally stable.
Oral surgery, laser dentistry, and dental radiology round out the clinic's technical capabilities. Laser dentistry enables precise, minimally invasive procedures for soft tissue treatments, cavity preparation, and other applications where reduced bleeding and faster healing are priorities. On-site dental radiology ensures that diagnostic imaging is available immediately, streamlining treatment planning without the delays of external referrals.
One of the most distinctive features of Poliklinika MakeOver is its integrated accommodation offering. The clinic's luxuriously decorated "Bgold" rooms are located in the same building as the polyclinic, providing dental tourists with a seamless and comfortable experience. Patients can recover in style between appointments without navigating an unfamiliar city, supported by a health and tourism team that coordinates logistics from arrival to departure. Split itself is one of Europe's most celebrated travel destinations, home to Diocletian's Palace -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site -- pristine Adriatic beaches, excellent seafood, and easy ferry connections to Croatia's islands. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., providing exceptional accessibility for patients visiting from abroad.
For international dental tourists seeking a high-quality, comprehensive, and genuinely luxurious dental care experience in Europe, Poliklinika MakeOver combines clinical excellence, advanced technology, specialist expertise, and premium hospitality in a city that is among the most beautiful on the continent.
