Premium implantology in Bjelovar — the same quality as in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. The savings are frequently used for a flight, accommodation and a week's annual holiday in Croatia.
It is not just the price. It is the combination of European quality standards, your native language in the practice, and the opportunity to combine your treatment with a holiday.
All-on-4 zirconia bridge in Bjelovar = €5,000. The same procedure in Munich or Vienna = €18,500–22,000. The difference covers your flight, accommodation — and still leaves you money to spare for a holiday.
C-Tech (Italy), MegaGen (South Korea) and Noris Medical (Israel) implants — the same premium components used in Scandinavian clinics. We hold the ISO 9001:2015 certificate.
The entire team speaks Croatian. No interpreter, no misunderstandings about what is happening in your mouth. We also speak German and English as needed.
Bjelovar is 1h from Zagreb, 2.5h from Plitvice, 3h from Zadar. Many patients combine their treatment protocol with a week's holiday by the sea — and still save compared to DE.
10-year warranty on implants, 5-year warranty on zirconia crowns. Written, transferable, recognised by German insurers.
After returning to DE/AT/CH, you have WhatsApp/video access to your doctor for all questions. Recall protocol every 6 months with the option of an online check-up.
If you are coming from Zagreb, Slovenia, Austria or Germany — the question "why Bjelovar and not Zagreb?" is the most honest question you can ask. Here are six concrete reasons why patients consciously choose 30 extra minutes of driving from Zagreb and come straight to us.
Same components, same technology — without the 20–30% premium you pay at a Zagreb city-centre clinic due to prime real estate on the main square. All-on-4 zirconia in Bjelovar €5,000 · the same procedure in Zagreb €7,500–9,000.
Large Zagreb clinics have waiting lists of 2–4 months for implant procedures. We can typically offer you an appointment within 7–14 days. When you're already on a flight from Vienna, the last thing you want is to wait 3 months.
Your surgery, follow-up appointments, and final prosthetic restoration are all carried out by one person: Dr Martin Grdan, an oral surgery specialist with over 1,000 implants to his name. You will not be handed over to 'a colleague who will finish the job' — that is the greatest hidden cost of large clinics.
The Studio Esthetics laboratory is located in the same building. Zirconia crowns are cast and meticulously refined under the doctor's supervision — they are not sent 200 km away to an outsourced lab where they are made by someone who has never seen the patient.
You fly into Zagreb (ZAG) and reach Bjelovar by transfer in 60–75 minutes via motorway A4. Zero traffic congestion, parking directly in front of the practice, and a peaceful old town centre to stroll through between appointments. Hotel accommodation in the city centre from €50/night instead of €150 in Zagreb.
Our reception team knows you by name from your third visit. Your doctor shares their WhatsApp and responds personally. In Zagreb, you would pay for this as a 'concierge service' — here, it is our standard. We harken back to a time when a 'patient' was a person, not a number in an ERP system.
Studio Esthetics — our own dental technology laboratory — is housed in the same building as the clinic. That means: zero outsourced labs, zero weeks of waiting, zero miscommunication between doctor and technician. Your crowns and bridges are created just 12 metres from the chair you are sitting in.
The majority of large clinics in Zagreb and Vienna outsource their prosthetics to external laboratories — meaning that someone who has never seen the patient makes decisions about aesthetics and occlusion based on digital files. We have deliberately taken the opposite approach: we have invested in our own digital laboratory with CAD/CAM technology and 3D printers, so that the entire process — from scanning to the final zirconia bridge — remains in the hands of a single team.
The traditional silicone impression is a thing of the past. The 3Shape Trios intraoral scanner captures your teeth in 4K resolution in just 3–4 minutes. No tray in your mouth, no gagging, no waiting for material to set. The file is sent directly to the CAD software the very same moment.
The master dental technician and Dr. Grdan design your restoration together using specialised prosthetic software. The shape, size, occlusion and aesthetics of each crown are defined. You can view the proposed design on screen and request modifications BEFORE a single tooth is fabricated.
Zirconia blocks are milled in a CAM milling unit according to a digital file with a precision of 25 micrometres. Surgical templates and temporary restorations are 3D-printed in biocompatible resins. All of this within hours — not weeks.
Every completed restoration — crown, bridge, or veneer — undergoes a final quality check in the hands of Dr. Grdan before it reaches you. This is not a 'take it and fit it' approach: if anything falls short of perfection, it is sent back for refinement. No compromises, no 'good enough'.
„The main reason patients from the diaspora choose us is simple: when someone loses 3 days travelling to Croatia, they cannot be left without their restoration because a lab in Split did not finish it on time. We eliminate that risk entirely — because our lab works for us, not for 30 other clinics.”
During your consultation, we are happy to show you the lab — how your restoration is scanned, milled and assembled. Transparency is part of our quality standard.
The entire process is transparent, with no hidden costs and no pressure.

All case studies with details„Three quotes from Munich: €19,200, €22,500, and €24,800. For a single jaw. I boarded the plane in disbelief, and walked out of Bjelovar five days later with a temporary bridge in my mouth — and a bill of €5,000. My wife and I combined the treatment with a week at Plitvice Lakes. In total, we spent less than what I would have paid in Munich for ONE jaw alone. The best financial decision I've made in 25 years.”
„I visited 4 different clinics in Vienna. Each time, they tried to redirect me toward a "cheaper option" — which usually meant unconvincing compromises. My son found Smile through Google, and Dr. Grdan received me the very same week I called. The approach was diametrically opposite: he didn't try to sell, but to explain. A year later — I am still so glad I listened to my son. And the savings paid for a trip to the Maldives.”
„In Zurich they quoted me 47,000 CHF for both jaws. I thought — that's a year of my daughter's salary. It took me four months to summon the courage to fly to Croatia. I was convinced I'd need half the work redone when I got back. A year and a half later — nothing, zero issues; Dr. Grdan messages me on WhatsApp every three months to check in. With the difference in price, I funded my son's wedding and still had enough left over for a new car. If you're reading this and still hesitating — stop. Book a consultation.”
The entire clinical team speaks Croatian (the native language for most diaspora patients). Dr. Grdan and our reception staff also speak German and English. If you prefer your documentation in German, we can provide it without any difficulty.
All-on-4 with a temporary bridge = 1 day surgery + 3–4 days recovery in Bjelovar = 5 days total stay. The final zirconia bridge is placed after 3–6 months during a second short visit (2 days).
