Restoring your teeth in Prague: how to prepare
Living in Germany and considering dental restoration in Prague? Start with your goals, the records you already have and arrangements for your first visit. Choosing treatment and its stages requires an examination by a dentist.

Describe what affects your daily life: difficulty chewing, missing teeth, an uncomfortable existing restoration or concerns about the appearance of your smile. Explain what matters most to you. This is more useful than choosing the number of implants or the name of a procedure in advance.
Comprehensive dental restoration brings together treatment for several parts of the dental arch, taking the individual patient’s condition into account. Discuss with your dentist whether existing teeth can be preserved and how missing teeth might be replaced. Dentistry offers different types of restorations; the appropriate option depends on oral health, not just the appearance you would like to achieve. KZBV: options for replacing teeth.
If your concerns involve one or both jaws, say so. Describing your needs in everyday language is enough to start the conversation.
Questions at each stage
Three groups of questions to help you prepare. They do not represent three appointments or a fixed treatment protocol.
- Before you travel
Your goals, records, language and what the first appointment includes.
- At the appointment
The dentist’s assessment, options, stages and an individual estimate.
- After returning home
Contact with the clinic and agreed follow-up.
Separate the initial discussion from a treatment plan
Before travelling, you can ask how to book, which language you can use, what to prepare and what to discuss at the appointment. Karlin Dent offers communication in Russian, Ukrainian, Czech and English. Agree on the language of your particular appointment when booking.
Correspondence helps organise a visit, but does not replace an examination. To plan treatment, the dentist assesses your teeth and mouth, health information and previous treatment. KZBV: the initial examination.
Whether particular teeth can be kept or need to be removed, the type of restoration, the preparation required and the final cost are clarified after an in-person assessment. If an initial option is suggested, ask what information it is based on and what still needs to be established. This helps distinguish what has been agreed from what remains a possibility.
Ask which existing records would be useful
Tell the clinic if you have previous scans or X-rays, reports, a written plan from another clinic or information about existing restorations. The dentist can advise which records are needed, whether their format is suitable and whether they provide enough information. The date of an examination may also matter; an older record should not automatically be considered either useless or sufficient.
Ask the dentist whether a new examination is needed before arranging one: existing records may help determine the next step. Prepare your questions, details of previous treatment and a list of medication you take. Agree separately on how to share medical information.
The Karlin Dent enquiry form does not accept scan uploads. For an initial enquiry, a contact number with the country code, your preferred language and a brief description of your goal are enough. Send medical records separately through a channel agreed with the clinic.
Clarify the purpose of your first visit before booking travel
Agree on the purpose of the first appointment. Ask what the clinic proposes for that particular visit: a discussion, an examination, any necessary investigations or an already agreed treatment stage. Clarify the appointment length and cost separately. A price-list item called “consultation” does not, by itself, describe a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
First visit: price guide
The consultation and CBCT scan are separate items. This is not a first-visit package: the dentist clarifies whether imaging is needed and what the appointment will include.
Euro amounts are approximate, based on the ECB exchange rate of 25 September 2026 and rounded to the nearest €10. Prices are quoted in Czech crowns. The final cost is determined by your individual treatment plan.
View price guides in Czech koruna and euros. These are prices for individual items; the scope and cost of your treatment depend on an individual plan.
It is best to arrange tickets and accommodation after the clinic has confirmed the date, address and terms of the visit. Submitting the form is a request to be contacted; the appointment time is agreed separately. Explain any significant travel constraints, such as only being able to come on certain days. These are organisational details, not a reason to shorten necessary treatment.
The clinic is at Křižíkova 331/87, Praha 8 — Karlín. If you are driving, ask about parking and how to enter the garage. Its capacity of eight cars does not guarantee that a space will be available.
Discuss treatment stages and return visits with your dentist
Ask the dentist to outline the proposed stages and explain when the next stage can be clarified. A plan to preserve and restore existing teeth may differ from one involving implants. If implants are being considered, timing also depends on individual healing; a general schedule does not replace the dentist’s assessment. FDA: questions to ask about dental implants.
Ask what can already be agreed, what depends on the examination and what circumstances could change the schedule. Clarify whether a temporary restoration is needed in your case and what restrictions may apply between stages. These are questions about your particular plan, not procedures everyone must undergo.
Budget for travel and accommodation separately from treatment. If the next visit is still provisional, mark it as such in both your calendar and travel budget.
Plan follow-up after returning to Germany
Before treatment starts, ask whom to contact after you leave, how follow-up appointments are arranged and which documents you will receive. If some follow-up is proposed near your home, discuss with your treating dentist whether this is possible in your case and what information another dentist will need. Agree on these arrangements in advance with the dentists involved.
Also ask what to do if a problem arises between appointments and who will explain how to obtain help outside opening hours. Clarify these arrangements before travelling home. The importance of aftercare and contact with the clinic is also highlighted in the General Dental Council’s guidance on dental treatment abroad.
What to clarify in your first conversation
Choose what you would like to clarify before travelling and put together your own list for the conversation.

My questions
Select the questions you would like to discuss. This is your personal list for the conversation.
If an answer is not yet known, note it as a question rather than making an assumption. A useful way to start is: “I live in Germany and would like to discuss comprehensive dental restoration. What first step should we agree on before I travel?” Detailed treatment choices remain a discussion with the dentist.
