How we calculate
The input data comes from the public price list of the Czech Dental Chamber (ČSK), the updated VZP public-insurance reimbursement schedule for 2026, and a survey of 84 Czech clinics carried out by najitzubare.cz in May 2026. Regional differences come from real clinic price lists: Prague is on average 20 to 30 percent more expensive than Ostrava.
The calculator shows a range, not an exact price, because it varies at each clinic by material, brand (Straumann vs Osstem), the dentist's experience and the location. The practice will give you the final price after an examination.
Public-insurance reimbursements (VZP, Škoda Employee, ČPZP, OZP) follow the current list of covered procedures. We show the approximate share the insurer reimburses, and the difference is the patient's co-payment.

Common questions about dental prices
How much does a first dental check-up cost?
A preventive check-up is covered by public insurance twice a year when you are registered with a dentist, so you usually pay nothing for it. If you are not registered or come outside a preventive slot, expect to pay in the low hundreds of CZK for the examination. An X-ray and any treatment are billed separately.
How much does a dentist cost without registration or as a self-payer?
Without registration or without insurance you pay for the whole procedure yourself, according to the individual clinic's price list. An initial examination and X-ray run from hundreds to low thousands of CZK, and treatment depends on its extent. Ask the clinic for a price estimate in advance, as price lists vary significantly between clinics.
What does public insurance cover and what do I pay extra for?
Public insurance covers basic treatment at the so-called standard level, meaning the procedures and materials listed in the fee schedule. You pay the difference for above-standard materials, for example white composite fillings on back teeth, ceramic crowns or premium implants. The exact share depends on the procedure and the insurer.
How much does treating tooth decay cost?
The price depends on the size of the cavity and the material chosen. An amalgam or basic filling is usually covered by public insurance at the standard level, while for a white composite filling you pay the difference. Extensive decay reaching the pulp may require root canal treatment, which raises the price considerably.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
Endodontic treatment varies by the number of canals, so a single-root tooth costs less than a multi-root molar. Part of the procedure may be covered by public insurance, while modern treatment under a microscope with high-quality material is usually above-standard with a co-payment. The clinic will give the exact figure for your specific tooth.
Why do dental prices differ so much between clinics?
The price is affected by location, as Prague tends to be more expensive than smaller towns, as well as the material, brand and technology used, the dentist's experience and the clinic's overheads. The same procedure can therefore cost differently at different clinics. It pays to compare price lists and ask for a quote up front.
Do dentists offer instalments for more expensive procedures?
For costlier procedures such as implants or extensive prosthetics, many clinics allow the payment to be spread out or arranged in instalments. The terms differ from clinic to clinic, so ask about instalment options before treatment begins. Request a full treatment plan with an itemised cost estimate in advance.
How much does a dental implant cost?
The cost of an implant is made up of several parts, namely the titanium screw itself, the abutment and the crown, plus the examination and any bone graft. Overall it is one of the more expensive procedures, and the amount varies by implant brand and case complexity. The clinic will prepare an exact quote only after an examination and X-ray.
How much does teeth whitening at the dentist cost?
Professional in-office whitening is not covered by public insurance, as it is a cosmetic procedure, so you pay for it in full. The price depends on the method used, whether laser whitening, lamp whitening or at-home whitening with custom trays from your dentist. It is worth discussing in advance whether your teeth are suitable for whitening.
Does dental treatment hurt, and can it be done without pain?
Most procedures are done under local anaesthetic, so during treatment you usually feel no pain, at most pressure. Once the anaesthetic wears off the tooth may be more sensitive for a few days, which is manageable with common painkillers as recommended by the dentist. If you are very anxious about treatment, say so in advance, as many clinics offer a gentle approach.
Where can I go with a toothache at night or on the weekend?
For acute pain outside surgery hours there is a dental emergency service, found in larger towns, in Prague for example at the university hospitals. Emergency care mainly deals with the acute state, meaning pain relief and essential treatment, not full care. You may pay a regulatory fee or co-payment for treatment outside your own practice.
How do I find a dentist accepting new patients?
Many practices are full, so it pays to call several dentists or use a regional list of practices. Ask directly whether they are registering new patients and whether they will take you with the insurer you have. A recommendation from friends or your GP can also help, as practice capacity changes over time.
