What is Decision Matters?
Decision Matters offers advanced dental education in implant therapy, periodontology, and oral surgery, combining evidence-based lectures with hands-on training. All courses are designed by Dr. Snježana Pohl, a clinician with over 30 years of experience.
Who are our courses for?
Our programs are ideal for dentists who already perform implant or surgical procedures and want to refine their techniques, improve aesthetic outcomes, and build confidence through practical, guided learning.
What makes our courses unique?
Each course is built around real clinical decision-making, with structured learning, live demonstrations, and small-group hands-on sessions that ensure practical, predictable results.
Where are our courses held?
We host courses across Croatia, including the Island of Krk and other major cities. Locations vary by program — some feature immersive, multi-day experiences, while others are focused one-day trainings.
How much do our courses cost?
Course pricing depends on format and duration — from €950 for our one-day Surgical Crown Lengthening course up to €7,900 for the full MAXI Hybrid program. Each course page has full pricing and payment details.
Which course is right for me?
It depends on your experience and goals. Surgical Crown Lengthening (1 day) and Recession Coverage (2 days) are focused, single-procedure courses — ideal if you want to add one specific skill to your practice. MAXI Hybrid (4 days) is our most comprehensive program, combining online learning with hands-on training across multiple advanced techniques. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll help you choose.
A word from our founder
"I know the struggle of continuing education – the fatigue, the stuffy rooms, the disappointing lunches, the lack of hands-on experience. And those unanswered questions that only get addressed in the ‘next’ expensive course.
That’s why I set out to create something different – a learning experience that feels like a well-designed journey: thoughtful, immersive, and built to truly take you somewhere."
