Šikovní zubaři is a comprehensive dental clinic located within Poliklinika Horníkova at Horníkova 2485/34 in the Líšeň district of east Brno. Operating under the legal entity EsteDent s.r.o. and led by chief dentist MDDr. Hana Kovárí ková, the clinic maintains a team of over seventeen dental professionals including general dentists, two oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and four dental hygienists. The clinic accepts new patients and operates from a modern, recently refurbished facility with contemporary equipment designed to reduce patient anxiety. Free parking is available at and around Poliklinika Horníkova, and the clinic is served by tram line 8 at the Kotlanova stop and bus lines 78, 82, 98, and 202 from Podbělová.
General and Restorative Dentistry
Šikovní zubaři provides routine dental examinations, preventive check-ups, radiographic diagnostics, and restorative care as the core of its general dentistry service. Tooth-coloured composite fillings are placed to restore carious lesions, fractures, and worn tooth surfaces with a natural appearance that matches the surrounding dentition. The clinic accepts all standard Czech health insurance for covered services including preventive examinations, basic radiography, and paediatric treatments, with additional services billed according to the published price list. The preventive programme at the clinic emphasises regular monitoring and early intervention, keeping patients informed about their oral health trajectory at each visit.
Dental Hygiene
Four certified dental hygienists work at Šikovní zubaři, providing professional cleaning, ultrasonic and hand scaling, biofilm removal, and interdental hygiene instruction. The hygiene team includes Ivana Belcredi DiS., Petra Bičová DiS., Mgr. Barbora Budíková, and Magdaléna Velecká DiS. Professional hygiene appointments run for approximately 50 minutes for adults and 20 minutes for younger children, allowing thorough cleaning and personalised instruction. Children aged six and under have dedicated shorter hygiene appointments tailored to their cooperation level and attention span. The hygiene service also addresses early gum inflammation: patients presenting with bleeding gums, gingivitis, or early periodontal pocketing receive targeted debridement and a home care protocol aimed at reversing early disease before it progresses to bone loss.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The clinic employs two dual-qualified oral and maxillofacial surgeons: MUDr. et MUDr. Tomáš Kriva and MUDr. et MDDr. Dominik Lepka, both holding qualifications in both general medicine and dentistry. This surgical capacity means that complex extractions, including severely damaged, horizontally impacted, or multi-rooted teeth, and surgical removal of all four wisdom teeth can be managed in-house. Cases that would require referral from a single-dentist general practice can be handled within the same clinic. Both surgeons also support the implantology service, managing the placement phase of implant treatments that fall outside the comfort range of general dental operators.
Dental Implantology
Implant treatment at Šikovní zubaři covers single-tooth replacement, multiple implants, bone augmentation, and sinus lift procedures. Implant placement starts from 13,500 CZK, with ceramic crowns on implants priced at 13,500 CZK. Bone augmentation is priced at 6,000 to 13,000 CZK depending on volume required, and sinus lift procedures for upper posterior implants range from 11,000 to 15,000 CZK. The availability of sinus lift surgery within the clinic means that patients with insufficient posterior upper jaw bone height do not need to be referred to a specialist oral surgery unit for this procedure. Pre-implant assessment and post-implant maintenance are co-ordinated within the same team, supporting continuity of care across the treatment timeline.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy at the clinic uses machine-assisted endodontics, in which motorised rotary instruments prepare the canal system more consistently and with lower procedural risk than traditional hand-filing techniques. Machine endodontics reduces treatment time and supports cleaner canal preparation in complex root anatomies. Root canal treatment is priced from 2,600 CZK, with re-treatment of previously root-treated teeth from 1,040 CZK per canal. The clinic uses intraoral digital radiography to verify canal length and fill quality, and dental microscopes are available for cases requiring magnified access.
Paediatric Dentistry
Children's dental care is a specific focus at Šikovní zubaři, with the team trained in gentle, anxiety-reducing approaches tailored to younger patients. Surface anaesthesia is routinely offered before injection for children and for adult patients with needle sensitivity, reducing the stimulus that triggers dental fear. Preventive examinations, basic restorations, and hygiene appointments for children are covered under health insurance, making regular preventive care accessible for families. The clinic's approach to paediatric dentistry emphasises building familiarity and trust through positive early experiences that reduce the likelihood of dental anxiety persisting into adulthood.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Teeth Whitening
The cosmetic dentistry service includes professional teeth whitening in both combined in-clinic and home-use formats. Combined whitening incorporating an in-clinic session and a home phase is priced at 8,100 CZK, while home whitening with custom trays ranges from 1,200 to 4,700 CZK depending on the gel concentration selected. MDDr. Jana Nociar, who has additional training in aesthetic medicine, contributes to the cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics component of the clinic's service offering alongside her general dentistry role.
Prosthodontics
Removable prosthetics including partial and full dentures are provided for patients with significant tooth loss. Partial dentures are priced from 4,200 to 6,000 CZK. The prosthodontic service works in conjunction with the implantology team for patients who are candidates for implant-retained rather than purely removable solutions, giving patients a clear pathway from assessment through to the most appropriate restoration for their clinical and financial circumstances.
