Hello. My first problem is the lower left second premolar. It had a filling, but the filling fell out several times. The entire crown of the tooth became sensitive to touch. The dentist decided to devitalise the tooth and cover it with a ceramic crown. Unfortunately, the tooth is now even more sensitive to touch across the whole ceramic crown. Since it was cemented, I also feel that it is too high. In addition, I have bridges in the upper jaw on both sides, and there are problems on the right that we have not been able to resolve (the bridge is supported by tooth 7 and tooth 3, while teeth 6 and 4 are missing). I have difficulty chewing, and the sensitive tooth is especially bothersome when eating. Even if I do not touch it, I feel a kind of pain although the tooth is supposed to be dead. When chewing food on the right side, I repeatedly feel as though I cannot fully bear down on my teeth and bite hard. It feels as if the prepared canine moves away when I bite, although it does not hurt. Visually, it seems to be slowly pushing the lateral and central incisors forward. I have had a slightly protrusive upper bite since childhood. Thank you for your opinion and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! Root-canal-treated teeth can remain sensitive to biting, tapping, or even spontaneously, despite removal of the vital part of the tooth. The source of pain is the periodontal ligament, where inflammation persists around the root tip due to bacteria still present in the root canal or to the filling material itself in the canal. With long bridges, the periodontal ligament of the supporting teeth may be overloaded during strong biting, which you perceive as pain or discomfort. I recommend repeat root canal treatment (with an X-ray before treatment), which could be supplemented with an apicoectomy if necessary. Instead of long bridges, I recommend placement of dental implants. Have a nice day!
Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know whether placement of 2–3 dental implants is possible this month. The gap bothers me, so I am looking for a quick solution. Thank you and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! In this case, a dental implant is most often placed immediately after the tooth is removed (the extraction and implantation procedures are combined). The sutures are removed after ten days. You receive a temporary replacement immediately after the operation. An implant in this site can usually be loaded three to four months after surgery. For loading, i.e. making the dental crown on the implant, we need two to three visits spaced a few days apart. Price of the procedure: -750 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (crown on implant) Prices include all procedures and materials from the beginning to the completion of treatment. Have a nice day!
Hello. After lengthy treatment I lost my first molar and the dentist had to extract it. He advised an implant, but it costs EUR 1500, which seems too much to me. I would like to know whether it is possible to make a post and how much that costs. I am 25 years old. Thank you and kind regards, Lučka

Hello. I had periodontitis and as a result I have lost almost all my teeth. Since I am also diabetic, I would like to know whether I could have a denture attached to implants and what the approximate price would be. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! Controlled diabetes does not represent an obstacle to implant procedures. A denture (upper or lower) is usually retained by two to four implants. If you choose four implants in the upper jaw, the denture can be made without a palatal plate, which usually bothers users the most because it changes taste, smell, saliva secretion, speech... I will give you the price for a denture with a cast base (the better option) and four implants; you can subtract the cost of two implants if you decide differently: - EUR 750 (implant) X 4 = EUR 3000. - EUR 900 (denture with cast base) - total: EUR 3900. Have a nice day!

Hello, I would like to know the price of replacing a bridge that spans three teeth: one tooth has a post that also needs to be replaced, the bridge is supported on another tooth, and the third tooth has been extracted so the bridge only covers the empty space. The bridge would be metal-ceramic. I assume the prices of pontics differ because they have to be adapted to the specific teeth. Thank you and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of the bridge is: - EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown) X 3 = EUR 630. The price of a crown and a pontic is the same in this case. The prices of pontics are always the same. Have a nice day!

Hello, I have a referral to an oral surgeon for the removal of all four wisdom teeth. The upper wisdom teeth have erupted, while the lower ones have partly erupted but do not have enough space to come in completely. I would like to know the waiting time at your practice for removal of the teeth. I have a panoramic X-ray that was taken a little over a year ago. Is it possible to remove the teeth in pairs (upper and lower) rather than one by one? I am a student and would also like to know whether there is any additional payment for the procedure. Thank you for your answers; hoping to meet you as soon as possible, kind regards!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:iThis question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Dear Sir/Madam! Our practice does not have a concession for specialist services (oral surgery). The price of the procedure with us is therefore EUR 90. The waiting time is around one month. Have a nice day!

Hello, I have defects on the front surfaces of several teeth near the gums (erosions at the tooth neck, and caries on some of them). Most have already been protected with fillings, but the fillings are lifting away or turning brown and separating. I would like to know approximately how much one such filling costs privately (work + material) and whether several teeth can be repaired during one visit. Thank you very much for your answer. Kind regards, Maja

Dear Maja! It is certainly possible to repair several teeth at the same time. The price of a filling is EUR 50. Have a nice day!

Hello! I have an eight-and-a-half-year-old son. I took him to a pediatric dentist who, at the previous visit, indicated that we would only close a small cavity and that nothing would hurt. The child has no pain. At the visit, however, the dentist suddenly wanted to extract the roots of a deciduous tooth without any warning. This has happened to us for the second time and the child no longer has any trust because they always tell him that next time it will not hurt, and then he suffers. When I remarked that this did not seem right to me, the dentist immediately stopped and agreed not to perform the procedure. I would like to know whether deciduous teeth really need to be extracted. I do not remember our teeth being extracted when we were children, since I understand they eventually fall out on their own. Thank you for your answer. Rajko

Dear Rajko! The decision to extract deciduous teeth depends on various factors, which I do not know in the problem you describe. I am convinced that the treating dentist made the correct decision. We ourselves try to perform invasive procedures under local anesthesia. Some children accept it more readily, others less so. In my opinion, a child should also be told that the procedure may hurt a little, but that it is worth tolerating it briefly. Psychological preparation of the patient comes first in this regard. Have a nice day!
