LA Dentální hygiena is a specialist dental hygiene practice run by Lucie Adámková DiS., located at Krokova 22/19 in the Drahovice district of east Karlovy Vary, within the Premium Dentio stomatological centre. Lucie Adámková holds a DiS. dental hygiene qualification from the Higher Vocational School (VOŠ) in Karlovy Vary and provides a full range of professional hygiene, preventive, and cosmetic dental hygiene services for adults and children. The practice emphasises an individual patient approach and gentle, careful technique, with all services delivered in a modern facility equipped with digital intraoral scanners, CBCT imaging, and advanced diagnostic technology. Free parking is available for patients, and appointments can be booked through the practice website. The practice operates Monday to Thursday from 8:00 to 16:00 and Fridays from 8:00 to 12:00.
Professional Dental Hygiene
Adult professional hygiene appointments at LA Dentální hygiena cover comprehensive cleaning including supragingival and subgingival tartar removal using ultrasonic and hand instruments, biofilm and bacterial plaque management, stain removal, and personalised oral hygiene instruction. Initial comprehensive visits run at 1,800 CZK and allow thorough assessment and full treatment, while regular recall appointments at 1,300 CZK maintain the results of the initial session. Oral hygiene instruction at each visit is adapted to the patient's specific needs, current habits, and clinical findings rather than delivered as generic advice, increasing the likelihood that the guidance will produce a genuine improvement in home care between appointments.
Deep Scaling and Periodontal Treatment
For patients with pocket depths exceeding 3mm or with active signs of periodontal disease, LA Dentální hygiena provides deep scaling using a combination of ultrasonic instruments and manual curettes to clean the root surface inside the pocket and remove the subgingival calculus and biofilm that drives ongoing gum inflammation and bone loss. Deep scaling is priced at 2,000 CZK per jaw. Alongside deep scaling, the practice offers bacterial pathogen sampling at 1,500 CZK, a diagnostic test that identifies the specific periodontal pathogen species present in the patient's subgingival microbiome. Pathogen testing informs treatment decisions, particularly regarding whether adjunctive antibiotic therapy should accompany mechanical treatment, and allows monitoring of treatment response at follow-up appointments by comparing pre- and post-treatment pathogen levels. This diagnostic capability positions the periodontal service at LA Dentální hygiena above the standard professional clean typically available at general hygiene practices.
Icon Non-Invasive Caries Treatment
A distinctive feature of the practice is the availability of Icon treatment for early-stage dental decay. Icon is a resin-infiltration technique that arrests and camouflages early carious lesions and white-spot demineralisation without drilling, without anaesthetic injection, and without removal of healthy tooth structure. The Icon resin infiltrates the porous demineralised enamel of the early lesion and stabilises it, preventing progression to a cavity while simultaneously improving the appearance of white or brown discolouration at the site. Icon is particularly well suited to post-orthodontic white-spot lesions that form around fixed brace brackets during treatment, and is used in children and adults who present with early smooth-surface or interproximal lesions that have not yet progressed to cavitation. This is a procedure rarely offered at dental hygiene practices and provides LA Dentální hygiena with a meaningful clinical service that complements the preventive hygiene focus with a non-invasive treatment option for patients with early disease. Icon treatment is priced at 5,000 CZK.
Custom Bruxism Guard
LA Dentální hygiena provides custom-fabricated bruxism occlusal guards, clear protective splints worn during sleep to prevent tooth wear, fracture, and jaw muscle fatigue caused by nocturnal tooth grinding and clenching. Custom-made guards are fabricated using impressions or digital scans of the patient's own dentition, producing a precisely fitting device that is more comfortable and more clinically effective than over-the-counter boil-and-bite alternatives, which do not fit accurately and provide inconsistent protection. Bruxism guards are priced at 3,000 CZK. For patients with bruxism, the guard protects existing restorations including veneers, crowns, and composite fillings from the accelerated wear and fracture that grinding would otherwise cause, extending the longevity of dental work and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is available in three formats. At-home whitening using Pure Whitening products with custom trays is priced at 5,000 CZK for the full kit. Combined whitening, at 8,000 CZK, pairs a home whitening phase with a professional in-clinic component for patients seeking a more pronounced result. Custom whitening tray fabrication alone, for patients who already have whitening gel or who are refreshing an existing course, is available at 2,500 CZK. A free whitening consultation is offered for patients who want to discuss their suitability and options before committing to treatment. Whitening is recommended to be preceded by a professional hygiene appointment to remove surface staining and ensure even bleaching across the natural tooth surface.
Professional Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride varnish application at 350 CZK per treatment strengthens enamel and increases its resistance to the acid produced by cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque. Fluoride treatment is particularly relevant following deep subgingival scaling and for patients with exposed root surfaces resulting from gum recession, as root dentine has lower natural resistance to caries than coronal enamel and benefits from the topical fluoride protection that varnish provides.
Paediatric Dental Hygiene
Children's hygiene appointments are structured by age group. Children up to age six are seen in 900 CZK appointments adapted to the cooperation level and dentition stage of early childhood. Children aged seven to twelve are seen in 1,100 CZK sessions covering the mixed dentition phase, which presents specific hygiene challenges around erupting permanent teeth alongside retained primary teeth. The practice's approach to paediatric hygiene reflects Lucie Adámková's emphasis on gentle treatment and patient-specific communication, helping to establish positive early associations with professional dental care that support long-term oral health engagement.
Dental Jewellery
Cosmetic dental jewellery application at 1,200 CZK offers a painless, non-invasive decorative treatment in which a small crystal or gem is bonded to a tooth surface using dental adhesive. The procedure requires no drilling or alteration of the tooth and is fully reversible. Gift vouchers with one-year validity are available for any of the practice's services, making dental hygiene and whitening treatments accessible as a purchased gift.
