Adria Dental Group

What Adria Dental Group does

Adria Dental Group is a Zagreb-headquartered Dental Services Organization (DSO) operating the largest dental clinic network in Southeast Europe, with 12 clinics across 16 locations in Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. Founded circa 2019, the group consolidates leading regional dental practices under shared standards, covering the full spectrum of dental medicine including implantology, prosthetics, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, and aesthetic dentistry. The network operates 150+ state-of-the-art dental offices supported by 9 in-house high-end dental laboratories and advanced diagnostic centers, with the SimplySmile clear aligner brand as a proprietary product offering developed by Poliklinika Fiziodent specialists.

The group employs over 700 professionals including 350+ specialists, serving 50,000-55,000 patients annually and performing 225,000-240,000 dental procedures. Revenue is generated via fee-for-service dental care across its owned clinics, with consolidated 2024 revenue exceeding €60 million and operating profit margins above 20%. Growth has been driven entirely by acquisitions, with 12 clinic purchases completed in three years, and the company is led by an experienced management team including CEO Gordan Muškić and Chief Medical Officer Andrija Petar Bošnjak.

Ownership is split 50/50 between Croatian PE firm Provectus Capital Partners (original investor) and Slovenian PE firm Advance Capital Partners (which acquired its stake in June 2025/2026). The capital structure supports a continued buy-and-build strategy targeting further consolidation across the Adria region, with Serbia explicitly identified as the next geographic expansion market. The company also operates the ADG Scholarship Program, partnering with universities in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Ljubljana to develop future dental talent.
