Visitor asks:

Hello,
First of all, I should say that I am one of those patients who experiences severe anxiety before visiting the dentist (to such an extent that the local anesthetic only starts working when I have forgotten that I even visited the dental office). I would like to know whether it is possible to have my teeth treated under general anesthesia.
About a year ago, my dentist decided to devitalize my canine. He could not decide whether to use a post or a crown. He filled the root canal and only protected the tooth temporarily. He then discovered that he had run out of „posts“. I should mention that I had been seeing a highly regarded and expensive dentist who has now retired. The temporary protection has now fallen off and a substantial part of the tooth has broken away. Does the root canal need to be filled again before the tooth is rebuilt? Approximately how much does it cost to repair such a tooth thoroughly? I would also like to know whether payment in installments is possible even if you are not in regular employment.
Thank you for your answers!

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

If the tooth in question shows no periapical changes on the X-ray (pathological process around the root apex), the tooth does not need to undergo root-canal treatment (filling) again before definitive restoration with a post and crown. For the procedure itself, we do not need local or any other anesthesia. Cost of the procedure: metal-ceramic crown EUR 210, all-ceramic crown EUR 350. In the case of an all-ceramic crown, the tooth is restored with a zirconia post, which costs an additional EUR 30. The price includes all procedures leading to the desired result. Payment in installments is possible.

Have a nice day!
