How a dental tourism trip to Croatia works

1 July 2026 6 min read read

Dental tourism in Croatia is now well established for many Swiss and Italian travellers. In this guide we explain how a trip dedicated to dental care is organised, the logistical advantages, and how Passione Viaggi manages the organisational side of the stay.

Why choose Croatia

Croatia is just a few hours from Ticino and northern Italy, connected by fast, comfortable roads. Cities on the Istrian coast such as Rijeka are easily reached by coach.

Croatian clinics work to European standards, with often multilingual staff and modern technology. The difference compared with other destinations is proximity: there's no need for an intercontinental flight to reach the dental practice.

What we organise

Passione Viaggi is a logistics operator: we take care of coach travel, accommodation in selected hotels near the clinic, transfers between the hotel and the dental practice, and support in Italian throughout your stay.

We don't provide medical services or diagnoses: the medical side is the exclusive responsibility of the partner clinic, which directly manages assessments, quotes and treatment plans.

How to book

The first step is to contact us to choose your departure date. We'll send you the detailed trip itinerary and put you in touch with the clinic for the preliminary assessment.

Once the appointment at the dental practice is confirmed, your place on the trip is also confirmed. You'll receive all the necessary documentation before departure.

PRACTICAL TIPS
  • Documents

    A valid ID card for travel abroad or a valid passport. A health insurance card is recommended.

  • What to bring

    Any recent X-rays and dental reports to show the clinic.

  • Timing

    Departures are scheduled: we recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance to best organise the appointment.
