Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! For several years I have wanted to have my teeth restored. The biggest problem is the missing upper right first and second premolars. At the same time I would need the porcelain crowns on my upper central incisors replaced and the chipped lateral incisors repaired. I would like to know the approximate c

Visitor asks:

Hello! I still have my own front teeth, but I would need dental implants for the rest. I would like to know the price for the entire upper and lower jaw and how many implants would be needed, considering that the front teeth could be used. Thank you for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam! I assume that in each jaw you still have the teeth of the intercanine sector, i.e. from canine to canine, in both the upper and lower jaw. If you want to replace the teeth with a fixed prosthetic construction, you need four implants in each jaw. Price for one jaw:

Visitor asks:

Kind regards, doctor. I have complete dentures in both jaws. My dentist told me that everything is loose and that I should have new ones made. Acquaintances, however, mentioned implants to me. I would like to know whether you do this and when, and I would also like to know the approximate price. I have one more issue:

Hello. Because I have had complete dentures in both the upper and lower jaw for a very long time, I have decided on implants and, of course, new dentures.

Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like to know whether ZZZS covers the cost of an implant in the upper jaw, tooth no. 3 on the right side. When I was young this primary tooth fell out, and there was then a gap because the permanent tooth did not erupt. This permanent tooth was surgically removed when I was 16 because it did not come "out

Dear Sir/Madam! The insurance company does not cover replacement of a single tooth with a dental implant. Instead, it covers the cost of making a bridge by your chosen dentist. The price of replacing the tooth you are asking about is 1170 Eur: -750 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (crown o

Visitor asks:

Hello. Whenever I visit your practice, I forget to ask the following question :-) I have a titanium implant. Someone advised me not to use toothpastes containing fluoride, because it is supposedly harmful to my implant. I really would not like to do that, since it has been proven that fluoride prevents the development

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have quite a few questions: I would need one tooth extracted in the upper jaw and would replace it with an implant. Is tooth extraction included in the price of the implant? Is it possible to place the implant immediately after extraction? In addition, I would need two intermediate units and one crown

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! Tooth extraction is included in the price of the implant used to replace the tooth. In some cases direct implantation (immediately after extraction) is possible, but more often we decide on implantation after two to three months. The price of the procedures you ar

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have osteoporosis and mastocytosis. At the clinic both upper second premolars were extracted. I asked whether I could replace the missing teeth with implants, but they told me that placing implants is not recommended in patients with osteoporosis because bone necrosis can occur. Is that true? What is

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! Osteoporosis itself is not a problem, but the same cannot be said for the medicines used to treat the disease. One group of medicines, bisphosphonates, significantly alters bone metabolism. In this case tooth extraction or implantation carries a certain risk of os
