Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
because of heart surgery, despite having had my teeth treated (poor root filling), teeth 17, 26 and 27 had to be removed because of inflammatory foci.
At the dental clinic in Ljubljana, the maxillofacial surgeon told me that I should change my dentist.
Now I would like to replace the teeth, but I do not understand where a bridge could be fixed if the last teeth on both sides of the upper jaw are missing.
I thought about replacing them with implants, but because of cardiac arrhythmia and Marevan this is not an option.
Aesthetically it does not bother me because it is not visible, but I am aware of the importance of having properly treated teeth, especially for patients like us who have a congenital heart defect or have undergone heart surgery.
What can you suggest given the condition described?
Thank you and kind regards!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
It is unfortunate that a person who is supposed to be an expert can advise changing dentists. It would be best if the surgeon in question could give you advice. In this case it is difficult to advise without additional information (X-rays, clinical examination...). You are welcome to come to our practice for all of this.
Have a nice day!
