Dental

A diagnostic dental examination - the dentist visually examines your teeth and gums, reviews your oral health, and takes X-rays only if clinically indicated, to identify any cavities, gum issues, or other problems and decide what (if any) treatment you actually need. This is the diagnostic FIRST STEP before any definitive dental treatment - if you have a symptom like a painful tooth, you must book this check-up so the dentist can evaluate you first; a treatment plan is then built around what they find. A Preventive Dental Check-up is distinct from a Dental Hygiene cleaning (which is maintenance, not diagnosis).

A standard professional cleaning - removing plaque and tartar buildup that a normal toothbrush can't reach, plus polishing for a fresh, smooth finish. This is a standalone maintenance treatment, NOT a diagnostic exam - it does not evaluate or diagnose dental problems. A sensible, low-cost add-on to almost any other dental trip, and a good stand-alone reason to combine a Prague visit with routine maintenance most patients would otherwise pay considerably more for at home. If you have a symptom (tooth pain, a problem), book the Preventive Dental Check-up first so the dentist can evaluate you before any cleaning or treatment.

Removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a damaged or decayed tooth's root canal system, cleans and disinfects the space, and seals it to prevent further infection - the standard way to save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. Performed under an operating microscope, which allows far greater precision in locating and cleaning every canal (root canal systems are often more complex than they look on an X-ray), improving long-term success rates. Usually completed in one to two visits depending on the tooth and number of canals involved.

A professional-strength whitening treatment, considerably more effective than over-the-counter products, using a higher-concentration whitening gel applied either in-clinic under controlled conditions or via custom take-home trays. Results are typically visible immediately after an in-clinic session, with most patients seeing several shades of improvement. Often combined with a hygiene check-up beforehand, since a clean tooth surface whitens more evenly.

A thin, custom-made ceramic shell bonded to the front surface of a tooth to correct chips, staining, gaps or uneven shape - one of the most natural-looking ways to improve a smile's appearance, since modern ceramics closely mimic the translucency of real enamel. Typically requires two visits: one for minimal tooth preparation and impressions, and a second to fit the finished, lab-made veneer. A common choice for patients wanting a broader smile makeover across several front teeth in a single trip.

A full-coverage cap that restores a tooth that's been significantly damaged, decayed, or weakened (often after a root canal), rebuilding its shape, strength and bite function. Zirconia crowns are prized for combining high durability with a natural, tooth-coloured appearance - a strong long-term solution rather than a cosmetic patch. As with veneers, this typically takes two visits: preparation and a temporary crown, then fitting of the final, custom-made restoration.

The visible, tooth-shaped restoration that attaches to a dental implant post once it has fully integrated with the jawbone - the final step that turns an implant into a functioning, natural-looking tooth. Custom-shaded and shaped to match surrounding teeth, so the result is indistinguishable from a natural tooth in both appearance and bite function.

A titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to permanently replace a missing tooth's root - the foundation onto which a crown is later fitted. Uses globally recognised, well-studied implant systems (NeoBiotech® or Straumann®), the same brands widely used across Western Europe, so quality and long-term reliability match what you'd expect at home. Placement itself is a straightforward outpatient procedure; the bone then needs a healing/integration period of a few months before the final crown is fitted, which is why implant cases are often planned across two trips (or one longer one, where feasible).

The full, start-to-finish tooth replacement package - implant placement plus the final crown - priced and planned together rather than as two separate decisions. This is the most common way international patients approach implant treatment, since it lets Curelia coordinate the full timeline (including the healing period between stages) into a clear, single plan rather than the patient having to manage two separate bookings.

When there isn't quite enough bone height in the upper jaw to place an implant securely, a closed sinus lift gently raises the sinus floor and adds bone graft material through the same small opening used for implant placement - often done in the same sitting as the implant itself. It's the less invasive of the two sinus-lift techniques (versus the "open" approach below), suited to cases needing only a modest amount of additional bone.

Adds bone graft material to areas of the jaw where natural bone has resorbed - often after a tooth has been missing for some time - to rebuild enough volume and density to support a future implant securely. Usually performed a few months ahead of implant placement to allow the graft to integrate, which is factored into the overall treatment timeline when Curelia plans a multi-stage implant case.

The more extensive version of the sinus lift, used when bone volume in the upper jaw is significantly reduced. A small window is created in the side of the jawbone to directly access and lift the sinus membrane before packing in bone graft material - a more involved procedure than the closed technique, with a longer healing period (typically several months) before an implant can be placed on top of the new bone.
