Come to Croatia, get your teeth done !

Croatia, already a popular holiday destination for sunseekers, is now tempting tourists with the offer of dental services at less than half the prices paid in western Europe.

Zeljko Popadic and his sister Jelena Nedeljkovic started a modest dental practice in the northern Adriatic town of Rovinj in 1997. They had only three employees and a few local patients.

Less than a decade later, their reputation has reached foreign markets as Europeans take advantage of low prices in former communist countries.

"Some 10 per cent of our patients are foreigners and we're confident the number will grow. Most of them are Italians, but there is also a rising number of queries from the United Kingdom," Ms Nedeljkovic said, who is in charge of the administrative side of the business.

She said their services were twice as cheap as in Italy and three or four times cheaper than in England, while quality was the same.

Cheap Dentistry as a slogan does not give me comforting feelings.
