Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, three years ago I received 12 ceramic-covered upper teeth in one piece. Recently one central incisor chipped. The dentist tried three times to apply some material, but it soon partly detached and fell off. The tooth is thinner and shorter than the neighbouring central incisor, and it also feels rough to

Dear Sir/Madam! It is possible to make a new crown or veneer on the existing bridge framework that you have. This allows us to avoid removing the entire bridge. The service is relatively simple and quick and can also be performed at our clinic. Have a nice day!

Hello Dr Rotar, I will be 40 years old and I have had dental problems since 2005. The worst is on the upper left side, where my dentist first treated the second premolar, first molar and second molar, but the gum above still hurt. None of this helped, and the second molar was removed first in 2011; in January 2013 she

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of the procedure you are asking about (implants with dental crowns at the positions of the second premolar and first molar): -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur -total: 2340 Eur. The price includes all materials an

Visitor asks:

Hello! In April 2012 my upper left second premolar began to hurt. At the emergency service they found that the tooth had "decayed under the filling", put in medication, temporarily closed it and sent me to my own dentist. He then opened the tooth several times, replaced the medication and temporarily closed it. Because

Dear Sir/Madam! A tooth can hurt for a few days after root-canal filling, especially on percussion or pressure. In principle, the pain subsides within a few days. If the pain is throbbing, I recommend removing the filling, applying a medicated dressing for a short period, and the

Visitor asks:

Hello.. My name is Klavdija and first of all, unfortunately, I am VERY VERY AFRAID of dentists.. I have one problem: I am not even exactly sure whether it is the lower left second or third molar, which is broken or has not been extracted, and now my gum has started to swell so much that it is very difficult for me to o

Dear Sir/Madam! If this is an extraction of a wisdom tooth, the procedure can indeed take a little longer (10 to 15 min): the procedure is painless, and we do not expect complications afterwards, so you can immediately return to everyday activities. The price of the procedure is

Visitor asks:

Hello. Last week my dentist extracted the lower right wisdom tooth. During extraction one root broke off and remained in the jaw. The tooth had to be removed because there was not enough room for it and it was pressing on the other teeth. Should the retained root be removed surgically, or will it really come out on its

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! In theory and according to doctrine, it is wise to remove the root, but it is also true that it may remain in the mouth forever without causing you any symptoms. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like to know how much a partial denture for the lower jaw would cost at your clinic. I am missing two teeth on the left and three on the right.

Dear Sir/Madam! Price of a partial denture: -700 Eur (acrylic partial denture) -900 Eur (partial denture with a cast base) Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! In the lower jaw I only have teeth 1, 2 and 3 on the left and 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the right. I do not want implants. What do you recommend — what kind of denture (so that the clasps on L3 and R4 would not be visible)? What is the price? What do the materials Cromazit and Vizil mean? Thank you and have a nice day. O

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! If we limit ourselves to rehabilitation without dental implants, the only and also most commonly used option is a partial denture. The denture can be simple, without fixed-prosthodontic preparations, but the retentive elements are then visible clasps. If we want t

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have had somewhat crooked teeth since childhood, but my dentist was not in favour of braces, saying it would correct itself. Later it seemed too late to me. I am now interested in porcelain veneers. The situation is that my lateral incisor slightly overlaps the central incisor, which is positioned a little far

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 you describe would best be corrected with orthodontic treatment, as this is the standard and non-radical approach. When making dental veneers, it is necessary to intervene somewhat in the enamel structure, meaning that a layer of enamel 0.3 to 0.7 mm t

Visitor asks:

Dear Doctor! I am 27 years old and unfortunately I inherited such poor teeth that, despite serious and good hygiene, I am already missing many of them. I would like to know what the cheapest solution might be if I am missing all lower first, second and third molars; in the upper left I am missing the first, second and

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! In the lower jaw you have a shortened dental arch on both sides (the last tooth is the second premolar), which means that a bridge is not an option. Considering your dental status and age, the best solution is certainly to place dental implants at least in the pos

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know how painless tooth extraction is performed. I am quite severely afraid, so I am asking whether a tooth can be removed completely without pain. The tooth is decayed and hurts. I would also like to know the price and waiting time. Thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regards.

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! Teeth are extracted under local anaesthesia, which means that the procedure is painless. Price of the procedure: -60 Eur (simple extraction) -90 Eur (complicated...) Have a nice day!
