Visitor asks:

Hello. I am 30 years old and the teeth I still have are in very poor condition. In the upper jaw I have the right central incisor implanted, while the left one is in very poor condition. The left lateral incisor has a small cavity; I think the right one is okay. On the left canine only the root remains; tooth 4 has a f

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! My ceramic tooth/crown has broken. Is a repair possible and approximately how much does it cost, or is the only option a different, new crown? Thank you for your answer.

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! A repair is possible, although of course it does not provide the same degree of reliability as a new crown. The price is 65 Eur. The price of a new crown is 210 Eur. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, what could be a solution if I am missing teeth 8, 7 and 6 in the upper left jaw and teeth 8, 7 and 6 in the lower left jaw; on the right side I am missing upper teeth 6 and 8 and lower right teeth 7 and 8. I am particularly interested in what could be done on the left side and the approximate price. Tha

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! At all the listed sites except the lower right, where tooth 6 is still present, I suggest placement of one implant supporting one crown. Three implants would replace the missing first molars, which is sufficient for proper function. Price of the procedure: 750 Eur

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! Six months ago I received a bridge replacing a lower central incisor (the adjacent teeth were prepared). Now the front part of that incisor has broken off. I would like to know whether it can be repaired and, alternatively, how much a new standard bridge would cost. Thank you for your answer and kind re

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 bridge can be repaired. If the damage keeps recurring, it is better to make a new one. If the bridge was made by us, it is under warranty (five years). A new bridge for the condition described costs 630 Eur (porcelain; metal-ceramic construction).

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have chronically poor teeth; despite good and regular hygiene, my teeth keep breaking. Five teeth are partially or completely destroyed (down to the gum—no tooth remains). I visit dentists regularly, but they do not know how to help me because the teeth continue to break despite restoration, to the po

Dear Sir/Madam! Please call us on 040 294488. We will carry out an initial examination and take an X-ray, and on that basis we can decide together on a treatment programme. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I need to replace the crowns on my front teeth. I would like to know which crowns you recommend, E-max crowns or zirconia crowns. Are both types made entirely of porcelain? Which crowns have a nicer, more natural appearance?

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 fracture strength of zirconia crowns is considerably greater than that of e-Max, while the aesthetic results are quite similar. If individual crowns are being made rather than a connected or bridge construction, the strength of e-Max is satisfactory.

Visitor asks:

Hello, today a small piece of my front tooth broke off. Because the tooth is in the visible area, it is very bothersome. I would like to know the waiting time and the price of a private-pay visit at your clinic. 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! The tooth can be built up with a composite filling. Approximate price: 60 Eur. To arrange an appointment, please call 040 294488 or 04/5300660. If necessary, we adapt to your wishes. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I urgently need to do something about my teeth, as almost all of them are completely ruined and many are missing. Please advise me what would be best for me. I am under 30. And how much would it cost me?

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, it is impossible to advise you what to do. The first step is an X-ray and a clinical examination. At the examination we prepare exact quotations and suggest solutions. You can book an examination on 040 294488 or 04/5300660. Have a

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! My husband would need an upper partial denture. I would like to know whether this can be paid in instalments with a Diners card and what the maximum number of instalments is. Is it 6 or 12, and does the number of instalments depend on the total price? Thank you very much for your answer.

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! Payment in instalments is possible. We agree on the number of instalments individually with each person. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to know whether it is normal that after root canal treatment I occasionally taste something from this tooth. It is not a taste of pus draining from the tooth, but rather a taste similar to the bleach my dentist used to disinfect the roots during the procedure. It has already been several months. Tha

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 the dental crown has not yet been definitively restored, it is possible that the temporary restoration is not sealing well and that the root filling material is leaking into the oral cavity. The condition is not a cause for concern. Have a nice day!
