Smile Centrum Eliska is the Praha 9 (Prague 9) branch of the Smile Centrum dental network, one of the largest and most well-established dental groups in the Czech Republic. Located at Freyova 983/25 in Prague 9, the clinic serves patients across the northern and eastern parts of Prague alongside visitors from further afield who are drawn by the network's reputation for specialist expertise and high patient satisfaction ratings.
The Eliska branch is staffed by an exceptionally large team for a single-location dental clinic: over ten qualified dentists including leading implantologists and prosthodontists Oleg Ridchenko and Vladyslav Ridchenko, alongside Marek Arpas, Anastasiia Kolyshkina, Nazar Novosilskyi, Alena Aniskevich, Tatiana Pribulova, Vasileios Papadopoulos, Jaroslav Gontar, Kateryna Varavina, and Olga Papadopulos. This multidisciplinary team covers the full spectrum of dental specialisations within a single clinic, reducing referrals and giving patients access to expert opinion across implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, and aesthetic dentistry without needing to travel between practices.
The clinic holds a 4.9-5.0 star patient rating and communicates with patients in Czech, English, Ukrainian, Russian, and Greek, making it one of Prague's most multilingual dental facilities and an excellent choice for international patients and the city's significant Ukrainian and Greek communities.
Dental Implants
Implantology is one of the Eliska branch's primary specialisations, led by experienced surgeons Oleg Ridchenko and Vladyslav Ridchenko who together bring deep expertise in implant placement, full-arch rehabilitation, and complex pre-implant surgical cases. Single-tooth implants, multi-unit implant bridges, and full-arch implant-supported restorations are offered, with each case planned using advanced imaging to ensure optimal placement for long-term osseointegration success. Bone grafting and other pre-implant surgical preparations are managed in-house by the surgical team where required.
Ceramic Veneers and Aesthetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dental transformation is a core offering at the Eliska branch. Ceramic veneers are designed and placed by specialist practitioners with extensive experience in aesthetic outcomes. Veneers correct discolouration, chips, uneven edges, spacing issues, and minor crowding to deliver comprehensive smile makeovers with natural-looking, durable porcelain restorations. Professional teeth whitening is available for patients seeking a brighter smile as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader cosmetic plan.
Prosthodontics and In-House Laboratory
The Eliska branch operates with an in-house dental laboratory, a significant advantage that allows prosthodontic restorations to be fabricated on site with faster turnaround times and closer quality control than practices relying on external laboratories. Ceramic and zirconia crowns, multi-unit bridges, implant-supported prosthetics, and full or partial removable dentures are all designed and produced within the clinic's own laboratory. This integrated approach ensures that every restoration is made to the exact specifications set by the treating dentist, with adjustments and remakes managed quickly and without delays.
Orthodontics
The clinic provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment for both adolescents and adults, including traditional fixed braces and modern invisible aligner systems. Adult orthodontics in particular has grown significantly at Smile Centrum Eliska, with many patients in their 20s, 30s, and beyond seeking discreet straightening options that fit within their professional and social lives. The orthodontic team assesses each case holistically before recommending the most appropriate treatment modality.
Restorative and General Dentistry
Comprehensive general dental care at the clinic includes examinations, digital X-rays, composite fillings using tooth-matched materials, root canal treatment, and professional hygiene cleaning. The practice's large team allows for short appointment waiting times and flexible scheduling, with opening hours from 07:00 to 19:00 Monday through Thursday, until 16:00 on Fridays, and Saturday morning emergency care available.
Preventive Care and Dental Hygiene
Professional hygiene appointments cover thorough scaling and polishing, fluoride treatment, and personalised oral health education. The clinic emphasises preventive dentistry as the foundation of long-term dental health, working with patients to develop consistent home care routines and appropriate recall schedules.
Oral Surgery and Paediatric Dentistry
Oral surgery services include tooth extractions, surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, and pre-implant surgical procedures. The clinic also provides dedicated paediatric dentistry with an approach designed to create positive early dental experiences for children, establishing healthy habits and a relaxed relationship with dental care from childhood.
The Smile Centrum Network
Smile Centrum operates over ten locations across the Czech Republic, including multiple Prague sites (Vysocany, Vinohrady, Letnany, Brevnov, Holesovice, Horni Pocernice, Liben, and others) as well as clinics in Sumperk and Marianske Lazne, with further locations planned. Patients who access care at one network location benefit from shared clinical standards, electronic records accessible across sites, and the ability to receive treatment at whichever location is most convenient for their schedule or proximity on a given day.
For international patients visiting Prague, the network's multilingual capabilities and high clinical standards make any Smile Centrum location a reliable choice. The Eliska branch in Prague 9 is particularly well equipped for complex implant and prosthodontic cases, with a specialist surgical team and in-house laboratory that support demanding clinical requirements.
For patients seeking one of Prague's most experienced and comprehensively staffed dental clinics, with specialist implant surgeons, an in-house laboratory, multilingual team, and the backing of an established national dental network, Smile Centrum Eliska is a strong choice for everything from routine check-ups to complex full-mouth rehabilitation.
