Hello. I would like to know whether instalment payments can be arranged at your practice. I urgently want to repair at least 5 front teeth, and I would need an implant for one side tooth, but I am unable to pay for everything at once. Is the first examination and consultation EUR 50? Please reply.

Visitor asks:

I need a new partial denture. In the lower jaw I have teeth 1, 2 and 3 on the left and right, and the rest are missing. These six teeth are crowned and the canines are prepared for a snap-on denture. That is the type I have had until now, without metal, and I am interested in the same type. Do you make this, how long d

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! This is a typical situation for a partial denture. We make it in four visits, which means a little over fourteen days. The price of the denture is EUR 900, while the price of the attachments themselves depends on their type (approximately EUR 200). Have a nice day

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know what you would recommend when replacing a metal-ceramic bridge on the upper ten teeth (from 1 to 5), given that the central incisors, canines and second premolars have white posts, while the lateral incisors and first premolars are missing. Would an all-ceramic option or zirconia-ce

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! Since this is a splinted construction, I definitely recommend a zirconia-based construction. We usually need three visits (two weeks) for the work. Throughout the procedure you wear a temporary construction, which is included in the price. Price: -EUR 350 (zirconi

Visitor asks:

Kind regards. In the lower jaw on the right I have teeth only up to the first premolar, and on the left up to the first molar. In the upper right I have teeth up to the first molar. Fourteen days ago my lower right second premolar was extracted. About a week after the extraction, the first premolar next to it started t

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! Both reasons are probably contributing to the problem. The first reason should disappear in approximately three weeks. The second can be eliminated by replacing the missing tooth, preferably with a dental implant. I do not recommend reducing an intact tooth. Have

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to know which method you use for tooth whitening at your practice. Have a nice day.

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! We whiten teeth using the conventional method (Opalescence system). We do not activate whitening with a light or laser because there is a possibility of overheating the dental pulp. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Good day, Dear Dr Rotar, I would like to ask on behalf of my mother whether it is possible to wear a lower partial denture if she has 3 teeth on one side (1, 2, 3) and 5 on the other (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). She asks whether such an arrangement is possible or whether the same number of teeth is needed on both sides so that the

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! The dental status you describe is not problematic in terms of achieving good stability of a lower partial denture. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to ask you a question because I have heard a lot of praise about you. I am 24 years old and behind my wisdom tooth, on the right side on the cheek mucosa, I have developed a painful swelling (almost a lump, although it is not round). In the middle of the ''lump'' there is a reddish spot and it hurts

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! It is probably inflammation of the periodontal tissues (gum, bone,...) around the lower wisdom tooth, which is a relatively common occurrence. Food debris enters the gum pocket present behind the wisdom tooth and decomposes there. Bacteria multiply and cause infla

Visitor asks:

I have had complete upper and lower dentures for quite a few years. I have tried all kinds of denture adhesives, but without success. Slight movement of the dentures (especially the lower one) is very bothersome when eating and also when speaking. My doctor suggested relining as a solution, but I do not think this will
