Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like to ask the following. A tooth in my upper left jaw has chipped — the third one from the back — and on top of that it is black. I would like to know what the treatment procedure would be, because I do not like going to the dentist, although I realize that sooner or later I will have to get everything sorted out. I am looking for a good dentist, so please answer me so that I can overcome my fear in advance.
Thank you for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir!
I assume that the tooth is non-vital, meaning that it has already received endodontic treatment, or root canal treatment. One consequence of such treatment is a change in the strength properties of enamel and dentin. Teeth become more prone to fracture or brittle.
The tooth needs to be restored with a root post and a crown, which is a painless and relatively simple procedure. You can make an appointment by calling 04/5300660 or 040294488.
We look forward to your visit!
