Dental post-and-core restoration in Litomyšl

Reliability and strength for severely damaged teeth

Dental post-and-core restorations at Nova Smile Dental Clinic in Litomyšl represent a reliable method for rebuilding severely damaged teeth (over 50% tooth loss). The post-and-core structure consists of two main parts: a pin (post), inserted into the root canal, and a core, which restores the tooth’s shape and provides support for a crown or prosthesis. Post-and-core restorations strengthen teeth weakened by root canal treatments or significant decay, preventing fracture and loss. At Nova Smile in Litomyšl, we individually select the type of post-and-core construction after thorough diagnostics, considering tooth condition, bite characteristics, and patient preferences. Using advanced materials and CAD/CAM technology, we ensure perfect results—strength, functionality, and aesthetics for many years.

  • Metal Posts (Titanium, Chrome-Cobalt)

    • Extremely durable, withstand heavy loads
    • Suitable for molars
