No implant placement at this practice
Surgical implant placement is not done here. When implants are part of the plan, they are placed by a partner specialist; the prosthetic restoration follows here.

Dental crowns and bridgesin Poland
Single crowns, multi-unit bridges, and prosthetic restoration on implants placed by partner specialists. I do not place implants surgically. Material choice - porcelain, lithium disilicate, or zirconia - is matched to the clinical situation. Diagnostics-first, lab partnership, documented at every stage.

About the treatment
This page covers prosthetic restoration,
not implant surgery.
§ 02 · Prosthetics · Digital workflow
Important upfront: I, Wojciech Kresta, do not perform surgical implant placement. Inserting implants into the jaw is not part of my scope of practice.
What I offer is the prosthetic restoration: single crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures, and suprastructures on implants that have already been placed elsewhere. Complex bone augmentation or implant surgery is referred to partner specialists.
Prosthetic planning follows a digital workflow: intraoral scan with the Medit i900, design in collaboration with the dental laboratory, followed by a try-in and final cementation.
Clear scope
Implant placement: a partner specialist. Prosthetic restoration on placed implant abutments: this practice. The exact approach is confirmed in writing before starting.
Who should read this page
When prosthetic restoration fits your case
Prosthetic treatment can be appropriate in different clinical situations. The type of restoration is decided after examination and diagnostics - not before.
A damaged or structurally weakened tooth
A crown protects a tooth weakened by deep decay, fracture, or root canal treatment - restoring form and function.
Replacing a missing tooth with a bridge
When a single tooth is missing and the adjacent teeth are suitable abutments, a bridge can be a predictable solution.
Partial or full dentures
For patients with a reduced remaining dentition, removable dentures are planned. Material and retention design are set individually.
Restoration on previously placed implants
If implants were placed by a surgical specialist and the healing phase is complete, the prosthetic suprastructure - crown, bridge, or full restoration - can be handled at this practice.
Replacing an existing crown or bridge
Existing restorations with functional or aesthetic deficiencies can be re-planned and replaced after new diagnostics.
How I work
Digital workflow, close laboratory partnership
Four priorities in prosthetic work at this practice.
01
Diagnostics and planning
Clinical examination, X-rays, photographs, CBCT when indicated. A prosthetic plan is proposed only after full diagnostics.
02
Intraoral scan with Medit i900
Digital impressions instead of traditional trays. Faster processing and precise data for laboratory communication.
03
Dental laboratory partnership
Design, material selection, and characterization are the dental technician's work. I plan clinically and align the details; fabrication is done in the partner laboratory.
04
Try-in before final cementation
For larger cases, a framework try-in or mock-up is done first. Shape, function, and aesthetics are verified before the restoration is definitively delivered.
Treatment process
From consultation to final cementation
The specific sequence is set individually. A prosthetic case typically spans several visits.
01
Consultation, diagnostics, plan
Examination, imaging, clinical photographs. Discussion of options and written delivery of the treatment plan, including a cost estimate.
02
Preparation of abutment teeth
Endodontic pre-treatment if needed, adhesive core buildup, preparation of abutment teeth. Temporary restoration maintains function and aesthetics during the lab phase.
03
Digital impression and lab phase
Intraoral scan with Medit i900. Data sent to the dental laboratory. Design and fabrication in the lab.
04
Try-in and cementation
Framework or mock-up try-in, corrections if needed. Final cementation, occlusal adjustment, polishing.
05
Follow-up appointment
After a brief settling-in period, a follow-up confirms the result. Written care instructions are provided.
Before we start
What to know before prosthetic treatment
Prosthetic treatments are individual. These points apply generally and are confirmed in the individual plan.
Functional prerequisites
Periodontal stability, occlusal health, and habits such as bruxism influence the prognosis of any restoration. These are assessed before planning begins.
Multiple visits required
A prosthetic case typically spans several appointments. Travel timing between visits can be planned - this is discussed individually.
Materials and expectations
Material selection follows clinical indication. Manufacturer warranties cover materials; clinical outcomes also depend on hygiene, function, and follow-up care.
Communication
English or Polish
Written and verbal communication during consultations is in English or Polish. Translation tools may be used for written exchanges when helpful. English-language contact is available by form or email.
Frequently asked
Questions that come up often
No. Implant placement is a surgical procedure performed by partner specialists. This practice handles the prosthetic restoration on implants - crown, bridge, or screw-retained restoration on an abutment placed by another specialist.
