Altadent is a full-service dental clinic located at Merhautova 1070/224 in the Cerna Pole district of north Brno, established in 2013. The clinic is led medically by MDDr. Veronika Krskova, with administrative and personnel management under Pavel Krska. Altadent operates seven treatment rooms alongside a dedicated dental hygiene room, supported by digital panoramic X-ray (OPG) technology, and maintains a team of six dentists and three dental hygienists covering preventive, restorative, surgical, and aesthetic dental care for adult patients and families across the Brno metropolitan area.
General and Preventive Dentistry
Preventive care at Altadent includes comprehensive dental check-ups, professional dental hygiene appointments, tartar removal, and personalised oral hygiene instruction. Digital radiography is used for routine diagnostics, minimising radiation exposure while producing high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis of caries, bone levels, and root anatomy. The panoramic OPG unit supports pre-implant assessment, orthodontic evaluation, and surgical planning. The clinic's preventive philosophy emphasises that regular professional hygiene and early intervention are the most cost-effective way to maintain long-term dental health, and the team actively reinforces this approach with patients at each appointment.
Aesthetic Dentistry
The aesthetic dentistry service at Altadent covers composite tooth-coloured fillings and direct restorations, tooth reconstruction, veneers, and professional teeth whitening. The clinic uses modern composite materials and bonding protocols that produce restorations which blend seamlessly with natural tooth colour and withstand normal occlusal forces. Airflow cleaning technology is used during hygiene appointments to remove biofilm and external staining from coffee, tea, and tobacco without abrasive contact with enamel surfaces, making it suitable for patients with restored teeth, veneers, or sensitivity. For patients seeking more significant smile improvement, veneers and whitening can be combined in a staged aesthetic treatment plan.
Microscopic Endodontics
Altadent performs root canal treatment using an endodontic microscope, which provides magnification and illumination of the root canal system beyond what is achievable with standard loupes. Microscope-assisted endodontics allows more thorough identification and cleaning of canal anatomy, including accessory canals and complex root morphologies that carry higher failure risk when missed. For patients with teeth that have failed previous root canal treatment, or for teeth with narrow, calcified, or curved canals, microscopic endodontics significantly improves the probability of successful canal debridement and long-term tooth retention. The ability to retain compromised teeth through high-quality endodontic treatment reduces the need for extraction and implant placement, which carries both cost and treatment-time implications for patients.
Dental Implantology
The implantology service at Altadent provides surgical placement and prosthetic restoration of dental implants for patients with single missing teeth, multiple gaps, or complete edentulism. Pre-surgical assessment uses the clinic's OPG panoramic radiography to evaluate available bone volume and the proximity of anatomical structures, informing placement strategy. Following the healing period, the prosthetic phase provides crowns, bridges, or implant-retained dentures tailored to the patient's bite, aesthetics, and functional requirements. Implant treatment is co-ordinated with the clinic's prosthodontic and periodontal services, ensuring that gum health is optimised and prosthetic planning is incorporated into the surgical phase from the outset.
Prosthodontics and Periodontics
The prosthodontic service covers fixed and removable restorations: crowns for damaged or heavily restored teeth, bridges replacing missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, veneers for aesthetic correction of shape and colour, and full and partial dentures for patients with more extensive tooth loss. Materials and techniques are selected to balance aesthetics, function, and longevity, and the team works with dental laboratories to produce restorations that meet clinical specifications.
Periodontal treatment at Altadent addresses gum disease at both its early (gingivitis) and more advanced (periodontitis) stages. Professional debridement, root planing, and supportive periodontal maintenance appointments reduce pocket depths and biofilm levels, limiting disease progression and supporting implant longevity in patients with a history of periodontal breakdown.
Inhalation Analgesia Sedation
A defining feature of Altadent's patient care model is the availability of inhalation analgesia sedation using the Baldus Touch device. This system delivers a controlled mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, producing a state of deep relaxation and elevated pain threshold while the patient remains conscious, responsive, and able to communicate with the clinical team throughout treatment. The onset of effect is rapid and the recovery is immediate: patients feel normal within minutes of the mask being removed and can drive themselves home after the appointment without assistance. This approach is particularly valuable for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, needle phobia, or a history of difficult dental experiences, allowing treatment that would otherwise require multiple shorter sessions or referral for general anaesthesia to be completed in a single comfortable appointment. The availability of sedation also supports efficient treatment of more complex cases by allowing longer appointments without patient fatigue or distress.
Professional Development
The clinical team at Altadent participates regularly in continuing education courses delivered by leading Czech and international dental specialists. This ongoing training ensures that the team's clinical skills and technical knowledge remain aligned with current evidence-based practice, and that new materials, instruments, and techniques are adopted as they become validated for routine clinical use. The commitment to continuing education is reflected in the range of specialist services the clinic offers relative to its size, and in the consistency of clinical outcomes that the team's approach produces.
