Zubní skořápky: Co to je, když je potřeba a jak se o ně starat

When you hear zubní skořápky, tenké keramické obaly, které se nasazují na přední zuby pro vylepšení vzhledu a ochranu. Also known as korunky, they are not just for aesthetics—they fix chips, close gaps, and protect teeth weakened by decay or grinding. Unlike full crowns, they require minimal tooth reduction, making them a smarter, less invasive choice when your tooth structure is still mostly intact. Many people think they’re only for celebrities or expensive treatments, but today’s materials and techniques make them accessible and durable for everyday use.

They’re closely related to keramické korunky, plné obaly, které obklopují celý zub po jeho odběru—but skořápky are thinner and preserve more of your natural tooth. They’re also different from zubní implantáty, které nahrazují celý zub včetně kořene. Implantáty are for missing teeth, while skořápky restore damaged ones that are still rooted. If you have zubní kámen, tvrdý nános bakterií, který se hromadí pod dásněmi a na povrchu zubů, it’s crucial to get it removed before placing skořápky. Otherwise, the gum inflammation will keep coming back, and the skořápka won’t last.

Co se stane, když zubní skořápku necháte na dlouho bez údržby?

If you ignore oral hygiene after getting skořápky, plaque builds up at the gum line. That’s where zubní kámen forms again—and it’s even harder to clean around the edges of the skořápka. Over time, this leads to gum recession, bad breath, and even the skořápka can come loose. People who get them often think they’re "permanent" and stop flossing or using interdental brushes. Big mistake. The bond between the skořápka and your tooth is strong, but not unbreakable. Daily care with a soft brush, like Curaprox, and regular cleanings at the dentist are what keep them looking new for 10–15 years.

You’ll find real stories here: how someone fixed a chipped front tooth with a skořápka instead of braces, why a dentist refused to place one on a tooth with untreated decay, and how a simple change in toothpaste made all the difference after the procedure. We also debunk myths—like that skořápky stain easily or are fragile. Modern ceramics don’t. They’re stronger than your natural enamel in many cases. What matters is the fit, the skill of the dentist, and how you care for them afterward. Whether you’re considering them for aesthetics or protection, this collection gives you the facts—not marketing.
