Riviera Dent is an established dental clinic located at Hosti 103/1 in Rijeka, Croatia, built on the foundation of more than 30 years of dental experience accumulated by lead dentist Dr. Ervin Tomić. Throughout his extensive career, Dr. Tomić has completed numerous professional training programs in surgery, implantology, prosthetics, endodontics, and aesthetic medicine — creating a comprehensive clinical skill set that covers the full spectrum of modern dental disciplines. Riviera Dent serves patients from Rijeka, the surrounding Kvarner region, and from across international borders — particularly from Italy, Slovenia, Germany, and Austria — who travel to Rijeka specifically for the clinic's combination of experienced care and Croatian cost advantages.
The clinic's name pays homage to Rijeka's scenic position on the Adriatic coast, and its multilingual approach to patient service — operating in Croatian, Italian, English, Slovenian, and German — reflects the genuinely international character of its patient community. Riviera Dent uses Planmeca dental equipment throughout its facilities, partnering with one of the dental industry's most respected manufacturers of high-technology dental units and imaging systems. The clinic's warranty program — covering dental services provided treatments are maintained through regular check-ups — provides added assurance for patients committing to significant restorative or implant treatments.
Treatments & Specialties
Riviera Dent in Rijeka provides a comprehensive range of dental services, with particular depth in implantology, orthodontics, and restorative disciplines:
