Dental crowns, bridges and veneers in Prešov
A tooth that is badly damaged by decay, has had root canal treatment or has a large old filling needs solid protection. We use zirconia crowns and ceramic bridges, which are strong and blend in with the colour of your other teeth. To improve the shape and colour of front teeth, we make ceramic veneers.
Crown, bridge, veneer or implant?
Crown
When you still have the tooth, but it is weakened or badly damaged. A crown covers it and protects it from breaking. More in the article Zirconia crown: lifespan and comparison.
Veneer
A thin ceramic shell on the front surface of the tooth. It improves the shape, colour and symmetry of the front teeth.
Bridge
Replaces a missing tooth, but the neighbouring teeth it is fixed to have to be filed down.
Implant
Replaces a missing tooth without filing down the neighbouring teeth. You will find a comparison in the article Dental implant or bridge?
We will explain the differences at a consultation and choose the solution that suits you best together.
How it works
- Examination and plan. X-ray, assessment of the tooth and a proposed solution with a price.
- Tooth preparation and impression. We carefully prepare the tooth and take a precise impression.
- Temporary restoration. While the laboratory makes the final restoration, a temporary crown protects the tooth.
- Fitting. We check the colour, shape and bite and then permanently fix the crown, bridge or veneer in place.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a full-contour and a layered crown?
A full-contour crown is made from a single piece of zirconia and is very durable, suitable mainly for back teeth. A layered crown has ceramic on the surface and is more aesthetic, suitable for front teeth.
How long does a zirconia crown last?
With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and professional dental hygiene, a zirconia crown usually lasts many years.
Do teeth need to be filed down for a veneer?
Usually only minimally. We assess the extent at the examination, depending on what you want to change about your teeth.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the extent of the work. We will tell you the number of visits and the price in advance, when planning the treatment.
Why do crown prices vary so much?
It depends on the material, the production method (full-contour or layered), the laboratory and what needs to be done before the crown (root canal treatment, build-up).
Can a zirconia crown crack?
Zirconia is very strong. It is more likely that the layered ceramic on the surface chips, especially if you grind your teeth. In that case, we recommend a night guard.
What should I do if a crown comes off?
Keep it safe and contact us. It can often be cemented back in place. Do not glue it back yourself.
Can a crown be whitened?
No. If you are planning to whiten your teeth, do so before the crown is made so that we can match the colour.
Do you give a guarantee on crowns?
Yes, 2 years as standard. If you come to us for dental hygiene twice a year and have a preventive check-up at least once a year (with us or with your own dentist), the guarantee is 5 years, similar to implants.
