FAQ
How come dental care costs less in Croatia?
Our clients can receive world class dental care for up to 70% less then in their home countries. Dental care fees in the rest of the Europe are mostly driven by high labor overheads, insurance contracts and administrative costs. According to a recent WHO report more then 71% of the clinic operational costs are related to labor, which in effect explains the cost advantage in countries with low labor costs. Through Dental Offer you will be able to gain access to this cost advantage besides receiving world class dental care.
Can I bring my partner or even travel with my family?
Of course you can! All our dental tour services can be extended for your company at a small surcharge. We are also happy to work out special arrangements if you travel with more then two persons, for instance with your family. Kids and pets are also welcome. Please ask for details when you inquire.
Why go to another country for dental services?
The main reason for going abroad for medical services is access to world class dental care. Furthermore, the favorable price level makes dental care of the highest international standards available to everyone.

Here are some advantages of dental treatment in Croatia:
- English speaking medical staff
