Zubní most: co to je, kdy ho potřebujete a co o něm vědět
When you lose a tooth, your smile isn't the only thing that suffers — your bite, jawbone, and even speech can change over time. A zubní most, trvalá zubní protéza, která nahrazuje chybějící zub nebo zuby pomocí sousedních zubů jako opory. Also known as zubní protéza, it is a fixed solution that doesn't require surgery like an implant. Unlike removable dentures, a zubní most is cemented in place and feels like natural teeth. It’s one of the most common ways to restore a missing tooth when an implant isn’t an option — whether due to cost, health, or timing.
A zubní most relies on two things: healthy adjacent teeth and proper dental structure. Those neighboring teeth — called abutments — get crowned to hold the artificial tooth (pontic) in between. This means your natural teeth need to be strong enough to support the extra load. If they’re already filled, crowned, or weakened, a most might not be the best choice. That’s why many patients today compare it to implantát, chirurgicky umístěný kovový šroub, který slouží jako kořen nového zubu. Implants don’t affect neighboring teeth, but they take months to heal and cost more. A zubní most, on the other hand, can be done in just two visits. But it’s not forever — most last 10–15 years with good care.
People often ask: Can I get a zubní most if I have gum disease? The answer is usually no — healthy gums are non-negotiable. If your gums are inflamed or receding, you need to treat that first. That’s why many of our articles focus on dentální hygiena, pravidelná péče o zuby a dásně, která zabraňuje ztrátě zubů a komplikacím s protézami. Good hygiene isn’t just about brushing — it’s about cleaning under and around the bridge with special floss or interdental brushes. Without it, plaque builds up, gums recede, and the whole structure fails.
You’ll also find that zubní mosty come in different materials. Most are made of keramické zuby, estetický materiál, který imituje přirozenou barvu a průhlednost skloviny — they look natural and blend in. But they’re not indestructible. Biting hard things, grinding your teeth, or skipping dental cleanings can crack them. That’s why we’ve written guides on how to care for ceramic restorations and what to avoid.
So when is a zubní most the right move? If you’re missing one or two teeth in a row, have healthy neighbors, want a fast fix, and can commit to daily cleaning — it’s a solid option. But if you’re missing multiple teeth, have weak supporting teeth, or want a long-term solution without altering healthy enamel, you might be better off with an implant or partial denture.
In the articles below, you’ll find real-life advice on choosing between a zubní most and other options, how much it costs in Prague or Ostrava, what to expect during the procedure, and how to keep it lasting as long as possible. No fluff. Just what you need to decide with confidence.
