SI Dental is the first multidisciplinary dental polyclinic in the Kastela area of Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia, located at Cesta dr. Franje Tudmana 864 in Kastel Stari -- directly across from the local Health Center. Since opening in August 2018, the clinic has assembled a team of expert specialists covering all fields of dental medicine, providing the full spectrum of dental services under one roof. Free parking is available directly in front of the clinic, adding a practical advantage for patients from across the Kastel municipalities and the wider Split region. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The clinical team at SI Dental includes Dr. Robert Badrov, Dr. Josipa Tadic, and Dr. Antonija Matkovic, supported by dental assistants, a medical nurse, dental technicians, and administrative staff. The team is committed to continuous professional development across all areas of dental medicine, ensuring that the clinic stays current with the latest advances in materials, techniques, and technology. This investment in ongoing education is reflected in the consistently positive patient feedback the clinic has accumulated since its opening, including 98 Google reviews that emphasize the team's professionalism, warmth, and clinical skill.
Implantology is one of the flagship specialties at SI Dental. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of implant solutions including single-tooth implants, implant-supported crowns and bridges, and the All-on-4 technique -- a full-arch tooth replacement protocol that uses four strategically positioned implants to support a complete fixed prosthesis for an entirely edentulous arch. This approach is particularly popular for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth and want a permanent, non-removable restoration that functions and looks like natural teeth. For patients with insufficient bone volume, the clinic also provides bone augmentation procedures -- including guided bone regeneration and sinus lift -- to create the bone foundation necessary for successful implant placement in the posterior upper jaw.
Dental prosthetics cover the full range of fixed and removable restorations. Porcelain and zirconia crowns restore severely damaged teeth with natural-looking, durable restorations that protect the underlying tooth structure and integrate seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth, restoring function and aesthetics without implant placement. Dental veneers (ljuskice) -- ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth -- deliver dramatic cosmetic transformations correcting color, shape, and size. Dental prostheses (removable dentures) are crafted for patients requiring partial or full removable solutions for tooth loss.
Aesthetic dentistry encompasses professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, and smile enhancement procedures designed to give patients the bright, confident smile they desire. Teeth whitening removes deep staining from the enamel using professional-grade bleaching agents, producing results far beyond what over-the-counter products can achieve. Aesthetic composite restorations repair minor chips, cracks, and discoloration in a single visit, blending perfectly with the surrounding tooth structure.
Orthodontic treatment is available for patients of all ages seeking to correct misaligned or crowded teeth. The clinic's orthodontic services address both functional bite problems and aesthetic concerns, with treatment plans tailored to each patient's dental anatomy and lifestyle preferences. Fixed appliances and modern aligner options provide flexibility in how treatment is delivered.
Endodontics (root canal treatment) saves infected or damaged teeth from extraction by removing diseased pulp tissue, thoroughly cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. Following root canal treatment, a crown is typically placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function. The clinic also performs tooth curettage for deep cleaning of periodontal pockets, targeting bacterial deposits below the gumline as part of periodontal disease management.
Oral surgery services include tooth extractions, minor surgical procedures, and the surgical elements associated with implant placement and bone grafting. Periodontology addresses gum and bone disease, with professional scaling and root planing removing calculus and bacterial biofilm from tooth surfaces and root areas to halt the progression of disease and support gum health.
A dedicated children's dental section (Djecji kutak) provides age-appropriate dental care for younger patients in a welcoming environment. The clinic recognizes that positive early dental experiences are foundational to a lifetime of good oral health, and takes particular care in creating a calm, encouraging atmosphere for children. Diagnostic services include OPG (panoramic X-ray) and other digital radiography for accurate treatment planning across all disciplines.
SI Dental's position as the first comprehensive dental polyclinic in the Kastela area fills an important gap in specialist dental provision for the six Kastel municipalities -- a densely populated coastal strip between Split and Trogir with over 30,000 residents who previously had to travel to Split for specialist dental care. The combination of full-service capability, modern technology, a skilled multi-doctor team, and convenient access with free parking makes SI Dental the natural first choice for dental care in this part of Dalmatia.
