Want to take drastic action to fix a mouthful of missing or failing teeth (that doesn’t involve wearing old-fashioned, uncomfortable dentures)?

Then you may want to consider a full arch restoration with 4 implants in Split, Croatia; you’ll be able to enjoy two fantastic breaks to this splendid city, as well as make savings of between 50% and 70% when booking with Dental Departures.

Learn more about visiting one of our specialists in Split for your dental care and see how much you can save in on your dental care in Croatia.

The treatment is preferred over-dentures and other smile rehabilitation methods for a number of reasons::

• Only one session of surgery is required; patients can leave the dentist’s office on the same day with their temporary new set of teeth

• Implant treatment like this helps to prevent or slow down bone shrinkage by supporting the structure of the mouth

• The fixed bridge won’t slip or fall out

• It won’t cause irritation

• Easy to maintain; just brush as normal and use a special non-corrosive mouthwash

• The bridge can last a lifetime, unlike dentures which need to be replaced every five to eight years

• Graftless procedure: Due to the unique placement of the rear implants, the course of treatment may well be suitable for patients who have already suffered bone loss and have been told that they are not suitable candidates for other implant procedures.

The two stages required to complete a full-arch restoration will normally involve two trips to Croatia, approximately six months apart:

Stage 1:

Presurgical appointment (planning, evaluations and impressions)

Surgery (extractions, placement of the implants and immediate loading of a temporary denture)

Stage 2:

Final restoration (attachment of the permanent fixed bridge after the implants have properly fused with the jawbone).

Use our main “Restorations with 4 Implants” guide to learn more about the treatment process and discover more clinics around the world with Dental Departures.

For instance, the price of a full-arch fixed bridge on 4 implants costs around GBP 6,400 in Split, Croatia.

This is compared to prices in the UK, which would be around GBP 16,000 for the same course of treatment.

Note: the prices above are approximate. Please check our current prices for your selected clinic for estimated costs of treatment.

Split is a UNESCO heritage city on the Dalmatian Coast offering spas, resorts and wellness retreats, day trips to historic sites and an exciting dining and nightlife scene not far from the shoreline.

In summer, the beach at Bacvice proves hugely popular—it’s the closest one to the city with shady pine trees, soft sand and a café where you can relax with a cold beer after your treatment.
