Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am asking about my 13-year-old daughter, who received a referral from her personal dentist to an endodontist because she has a problem with one tooth. I would like to know whether it is possible to make an appointment with you using the referral and how soon an examination could be arranged. Thank you

Visitor asks:

I HAVE CARIES BETWEEN THE UPPER CENTRAL AND LATERAL INCISORS. I NOTICED IT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BACK OF THE TEETH WITH A SMALL MIRROR. CAN IT BE REMOVED ON THE TWO FRONT TEETH, OR WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH MY TEETH? I AM AFRAID THEY WILL EXTRACT THEM, WHICH I REALLY DO NOT WANT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM SO YOUNG. THANK YOU

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! Based on what you have written, I believe the problem can be treated with a filling. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I looked at the price list but I cannot quite make sense of it because I could not find all the information. I would like to know how much the following would cost: A two-surface filling (removal of the old filling; deepening of the cavity, finishing the margins; matrix and shade selection; placement of restorat

Visitor asks:

Dear Dr Rotar, I have a problem with the upper lateral incisor. The tooth is non-vital and therefore grey in colour. I would like to know how this can be corrected. Once, I think, my previous dentist injected some substance with a syringe that was supposed to whiten the inside of the tooth so that it would become white

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 problem described is best resolved by making a root post and an artificial dental crown. Bleaching alone does not achieve the desired effect, and in addition it carries a risk of fracture of the dental crown and perhaps even loss of the tooth. Price of the pro

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have been without the upper left first premolar for five years because the tooth broke off completely, but the roots are still inside. In the gum at this site I have a small opening from which pus drains. I would like to know, if I had a bridge or dental implant made, whether the roots would need to be removed

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! Based on the clinical picture you describe, I believe it would be appropriate to remove the tooth, although of course a final decision can only be made with X-ray diagnostics. If you decide to replace the tooth, the best solution is a dental implant because this m

Visitor asks:

Hello! On Friday I had surgical removal of a wisdom tooth at the back on the right (38), which was growing horizontally instead of vertically and was pushing the other teeth forward. The surgeon gave me all the instructions about what to expect. What surprises me is that my face is still swollen since Friday. In the lo

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 clinical picture you describe five days after the procedure is completely normal. Cooling is most effective immediately after the procedure, which is why you were advised accordingly. I believe you do not need to worry. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I am 16 years old and have dental problems. I had an X-ray and it showed that I still have a primary canine on the left side, while the permanent tooth remains in the gum. The orthodontist told me that I have to wear 3 appliances: first a headgear for 6 months, then fixed braces for 2 years, and then another sim

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! An alternative solution to the problem described is relatively simple and quick. Both the primary tooth and the permanent tooth, which is still deep in the bone, would need to be removed. A screw (implant) is placed in the gap, carrying an artificial crown that ae

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 25 years old and have serious problems with my teeth. Many have already been treated, but so far every treated tooth has cracked and later had to be extracted. Recently the same happened to my upper left first premolar. The tooth is still present in full, but it is horizontally split in half. My dentist gav

Dear Sir/Madam! Price for treatment in the upper left: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur. In many cases, because of limited space at the site in question, we place only one implant carrying two crowns: -750 Eur (implant) X 1 = 750 Eur -42

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to book an examination, but I am interested in the following. My lower teeth are more or less all right, except probably the second and third molars; on the left they are gone, and on the right one remains but is in poor condition. The upper jaw is in a terrible state. On the left I have a post in 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! Based on what you have written, I believe you would need one implant with a dental crown on each side of the upper jaw. Price: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur. -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur. The price includes all materials and procedures from the be
