Dental Implants
The permanent solution when one or more teeth are missing
If you tend to hide your smile, avoid certain foods, and feel uncomfortable talking to others because you are missing one or more teeth, Orto Nova offers you fast, painless, and permanent solutions for all forms of tooth loss. Our dental medicine center in Croatia performs daily dental implant procedures that look and function just like your natural teeth. Additionally, thanks to lower operating costs and favorable taxation, getting dental implants in Croatia is very affordable, allowing you to maintain the highest quality standards while spending less.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium or ceramic screw inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. The high quality of the materials used makes the implants biocompatible: the body accepts them as its own in 99.99% of cases.

Ceramic and Titanium Implants: Excellent Results for Every Situation
Thanks to the expertise of our oral surgeon, at Orto Nova we install both ceramic and titanium implants. Both materials are excellent options but have some differences that patients and implantologists should consider.
The implant installation procedure takes only 15 minutes and is completely painless. The result? A permanent, natural smile that will positively impact your self-esteem and quality of life. If you are a potential candidate for dental implant placement, thanks to the advances in modern implantology and the experience and professionalism of our dentists, you can say goodbye to dentures forever.
We restore your natural smile quickly, painlessly, and permanently.

Transformation with the help of implants
Dental Implant Placement: Fast and Safe
Free Consultation and Diagnosis
The procedure begins with a free consultation and a comprehensive diagnosis using a 3D CT scan to evaluate the tooth structure and bone tissue. This information allows us to create a personalized treatment plan.
Fast and Painless Implant Procedure
The implant placement into the bone is a quick (15-minute) and painless procedure performed under local anesthesia with the supervision of an anesthesia specialist.
Recovery and Preparation for a New Smile
After a recovery period of 3–6 months, a gingiva former is placed to shape the gums. Then, a temporary crown is installed, and an impression is taken for the final prosthesis.
Smile at life again!
Finally, the definitive prosthesis (crown or bridge) is installed, restoring your natural smile and chewing function.

Orto Nova – Certified Center of Excellence for Complex Implant Procedures
Our multidisciplinary medical team is led by Dr. Andrej Kravanja, a specialist in oral surgery and implantology, opinion leader for Nobel Biocare implants, and certified specialist for the All-on-4 systems. Beyond Dr. Kravanja’s expertise, Orto Nova also employs some of the most advanced implantology techniques and technologies in Europe, enabling the successful execution of even the most complex and delicate surgical and implant procedures.
Bone Loss and Implant Placement
To successfully place a dental implant in patients with insufficient jawbone, bone regeneration or reconstruction (bone grafting) is necessary beforehand. At our dental medicine center in Rijeka, we can perform painless bone regeneration either before or simultaneously with implant placement using:
Blood plasma
Artificial bone
Autologous bone
Learn more about the bone regeneration procedure at our center.
Edentulous Arch and Implant Placement
The All-on-4® method is the ideal solution for those who have lost all their teeth over the years or need to have an entire arch extracted. This method is also an excellent option when the amount of bone in the oral cavity is very limited. The All-on-4 method is an implant procedure that allows for a fixed prosthesis to be placed on the upper and/or lower edentulous arch using just 4 implants. At Orto Nova Dental Medicine Center, it is possible to place the implants and temporary prosthesis within hours of the procedure.
This method is used exclusively in cases of complete tooth loss.
Sinus Lift Procedure
A prolonged absence of teeth in the back part of the dental arch can cause a reduction of the jawbone. The sinuses, lacking the bone that holds them in their original position, begin to expand and occupy the empty space where the bone used to be. If the sinuses have dropped, a sinus lift procedure is necessary to successfully place implants.

Have you been told that fixed teeth are not an option? — This is your opportunity.

Our ongoing investment in training, technology, and refinement allows us to offer every patient innovative, safe, and long-lasting solutions that restore both function and aesthetics to their smile.
Choose the solution that best suits your needs:
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are an excellent solution for patients with insufficient jawbone mass when traditional implants are not an option. These implants are placed on top of the bone but beneath the periosteum, providing stability for prostheses even in the most complex cases. They are ideal for those who wish to avoid bone regeneration procedures.
Learn More
Subperiosteal implants are custom-designed based on the shape of the patient’s jaw, ensuring perfect fit and stability. These implants are recommended for patients with insufficient bone quantity for traditional implants, particularly in the lower jaw. Thanks to precise customization through advanced imaging, subperiosteal implants offer a natural feel and aesthetic appearance without the need for additional procedures such as bone regeneration. Subperiosteal implants can be a definitive solution to restore your smile and chewing function.
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are an innovative option for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. They are anchored to the zygomatic bone, providing solid support for fixed teeth and allowing patients to avoid procedures such as bone grafting. This solution is ideal for those seeking a fast and stable option without additional surgeries.
Learn More
Zygomatic implants are distinguished by their anchorage to the zygomatic bone, bypassing areas of bone deficiency in the upper jaw. These implants are ideal for patients who wish to avoid procedures such as bone grafting and seek a fast and stable solution for fixed teeth. The placement of zygomatic implants can be performed as part of the All-on-4 procedure, which allows for a fixed prosthesis supported by only four implants. This approach ensures patients high functionality, durability, and aesthetics without the need for additional surgeries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implants
At our dental medicine center, we have placed over 40,000 implants. Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions from our patients.
Can implants cause allergies?
Our implants are made of pure titanium or zirconia, making them biocompatible—in other words, the body accepts them as its own. Titanium allergies are extremely rare, with only a few documented cases worldwide. At our center, you can also choose innovative metal-free implants made from zirconia, a ceramic material known for its high biocompatibility.
Why are some implants more expensive than others?
The price of an implant depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the material. While some cheaper implants are available on the market, they are not guaranteed for durability or quality. When choosing dental implants, it is important to consider the brand’s tradition, investment in research, and the overall evaluation of the implant system. At Orto Nova Dental Medicine Center, we only install certified, high-quality, and guaranteed implants such as Nobel Biocare and Neodent (Straumann). When it comes to quality, we do not compromise.
What if I’m too afraid of the procedure?
At Orto Nova, we offer the option of conscious sedation in addition to local anesthesia, so you can completely avoid pain during your procedure.
We want our patients to feel comfortable and in good hands; therefore, all dental procedures involving sedation are supervised by a specialist in anesthesia and resuscitation.
In collaboration with our dentists, we will create an individualized plan for each patient that takes into account their overall health, the type of procedure needed, and their personal preferences. You will decide the type of anesthesia that suits you best.
We care about your smile.
We will be happy to advise you and offer an optimal, painless, and quick solution that will allow you to regain your smile in just one day. Contact us with no obligation — the first consultation, estimate, and treatment plan at Orto Nova are free.
