Ceramic Crowns & Bridges

Smile Centrum restores damaged and missing teeth with all-ceramic crowns and bridges produced in its own dental laboratory, across four quality tiers: full-anatomy zirconia from 11,900 Kč, E-max lithium-disilicate at 13,900 Kč, faceted Premium crowns at 15,900 Kč, and high-aesthetic Essentia work at 19,000 Kč for the smile zone. Digital CAD/CAM workflow includes long-term PMMA provisional crowns from 1,190 Kč to protect prepared teeth between visits, and ceramic inlays/onlays at 9,900 Kč offer a conservative alternative where a full crown isn't needed. The in-house lab shortens turnaround and allows direct shade-matching with the technician for front-tooth cases.

A crown is a full-coverage restoration that rebuilds a tooth too damaged for a filling — after root canal treatment, fracture, or extensive decay — while a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to crowned neighbours. Material choice drives both aesthetics and longevity, which is why Smile Centrum prices crowns in four transparent tiers. **Crown tiers (2026 price list):** - *Zirconia full-anatomy (Standard) — 11,900 Kč:* monolithic zirconium dioxide, the strongest option, ideal for molars and bruxists; modern multilayer zirconia offers good aesthetics for back teeth. - *E-max (Optimal) — 13,900 Kč:* lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic with translucency close to natural enamel — the workhorse for premolars and many front-tooth cases. - *Faceted E-max/zirconia (Premium) — 15,900 Kč:* a high-strength core hand-layered with feldspathic ceramic by the lab technician for individualised colour depth and surface texture. - *Essentia faceted (Exclusive) — 19,000 Kč:* the lab's highest-aesthetic tier for demanding smile-zone work, with custom characterisation. **Process:** the tooth is shaped under local anaesthesia and a digital or conventional impression taken; a long-term PMMA CAD/CAM provisional (from 1,190 Kč) protects the tooth while the lab fabricates the final crown; the crown is then tried in, adjusted and bonded. Because the laboratory is in-house, remakes and shade corrections are fast, and technicians can see the patient directly for complex aesthetic cases. **Conservative alternatives:** where enough tooth structure remains, an all-ceramic inlay/onlay/overlay (9,900 Kč) restores the tooth with less drilling than a crown. A two-layer anti-bruxism splint (2,490 Kč) is recommended for grinders to protect ceramic work. **Longevity:** well-maintained all-ceramic crowns routinely last 10–15+ years; regular hygiene visits and night-guard use where indicated are the main protective factors.
