Dentists in Prague 2

About Prague 2

Prague 2 is the smallest of Prague’s districts, covering about 4.2 km². It includes all of Vyšehrad and parts of Vinohrady, the New Town (Nové Město) and Nusle. Náměstí Míru, with the Vinohrady Theatre and the Prague 2 town hall, is at its centre. For its small size, it has a lot of dental clinics.

Postcodes in Prague 2 usually start with 120 (most of Vinohrady and Vyšehrad) or 128 (parts of the New Town around Karlovo náměstí and Albertov). Don’t rely on the postcode alone, though, because the street boundaries between Prague 1, 2, 3 and 10 are irregular. We have checked every clinic in our list against a map, and the district shown is the administrative district.

Where the clinics are

The clinics in Prague 2 fall into two main areas:

• Vinohrady: around Náměstí Míru, I. P. Pavlova and the streets leading off Vinohradská, Mánesova and Francouzská.
• The New Town side: around Karlovo náměstí and the streets running south towards Albertov.

The two areas are about 15 minutes’ walk apart, and both are close to the metro.

Getting to a dentist in Prague 2

Prague 2 is very well connected, which helps if you need to fit an appointment around work:

• Metro line A stops at Náměstí Míru, in the heart of Vinohrady.
• Metro line C stops at I. P. Pavlova, a busy interchange on the border of the New Town and Vinohrady.
• Metro line B stops at Karlovo náměstí, on the New Town side of the district.
• Tram lines run along Vinohradská and Legerova and through I. P. Pavlova and Karlovo náměstí.

If stairs are a problem, ask about step-free access when you book.

Choosing a dentist in Prague 2

The clinics listed above differ in ways that matter if you don’t speak Czech:

• Languages. Some clinics list a single English speaking dentist; others have several dentists who speak English and other languages. If you need a particular language, ask for that dentist by name when you book. Clinics that have an English website but don’t say their staff speak English are marked “English website”, not “English spoken”.
• Insurance. If you’re covered by Czech public health insurance, check whether the clinic has a contract with your insurer. Some clinics here are fully private and don’t work with any insurer, so you pay for all treatment yourself. Our profiles show this where the clinic states it.
• Opening hours. Some clinics here open as early as 7:00 or stay open until 20:00 on weekdays, which can make it easier to visit before or after work. A few also open on Saturdays. Check each profile.
• Prices. We never estimate prices. Where a clinic publishes its own price list, we show some items from it on the profile and link to the full list.

Registering with a dentist

If you’re staying in Prague long term, you’ll probably want to register with one dentist for regular check-ups. Places can be hard to find in Prague, so contact several clinics at once and ask whether they’re accepting new registered patients. Our guide on how to register with a dentist in the Czech Republic explains the process and what to do if every practice is full.
