Dental Crowns in Litomyšl

Restoring your smile at Nova Smile Dental Clinic

Dental crown placement is one of the most reliable and widely used restorative methods. Crowns partially or fully restore damaged teeth, protect them from further deterioration, and return a natural appearance to your smile. This method is suitable for teeth damaged by trauma, decay, wear, or as part of implant-supported restorations. Our prosthodontists select the optimal crown type after thorough diagnostics, considering your needs and aesthetic preferences. At Nova Smile Dental Clinic in the Pardubice region, we use advanced materials and technology to ensure your teeth remain strong and beautiful for decades.

Types of crowns

  • Single Crowns
    Used for restoring a single tooth with significant damage (over 50% loss), enamel wear, or aesthetic defects. They protect and strengthen teeth, fixed on prepared teeth or root posts.

  • Bridge Crowns
    Part of a bridge prosthetic consisting of multiple connected crowns. Fixed on supporting teeth or implants, replacing 1–3 missing teeth. Durable solution restoring chewing function and aesthetics.

  • Implant-supported Crowns
    Placed on implants after osseointegration (3–6 months). Can be single or part of a bridge, ideal for long-term results and maximum comfort.

    Made of plastic or composite, used temporarily (up to 6 months) to protect prepared teeth or implants while permanent crowns are fabricated. Allow normal chewing and aesthetics during waiting.
