Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have had ceramic restorations on my upper front teeth for 17 years and they urgently need to be replaced. I am now also missing the right tooth 4. I would therefore need 7 crowns, and I do not know how the missing 4 could be restored. I am also interested in the approximate price. Thank you for your a

Dear Sir/Madam! If tooth 4 is included in the existing restoration, we simply replace the restoration. If tooth 4 is outside it, we add one more crown to the restoration. Price: - EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown) X 7 = EUR 1470. The price includes all materials and procedures throug

Hello! I am missing the following teeth: upper right 1 + upper right 2 and upper right 5; in the lower jaw I am missing 6, 7, 8 on the left, all surgically removed, and tooth 4 is also in very poor condition.

Dear Sir/Madam! If we make two separate bridges, the upper left central incisor and upper left canine need to be prepared, and to replace the premolar, the first premolar and first molar on the same side. In this case we make seven crowns. Price: -210 Eur (metal-ceramic) X 7 = 14

Visitor asks:

Good evening. I have always been ashamed of my smile because I have too much gum showing, which bothers me a lot. Whenever I smile, my gums are visible rather than my teeth. So I would like to know what can be done about this. Perhaps dental veneers? And what are the approximate prices? I am 19 years old and am in 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! What you have described represents a problem that can sometimes be very difficult to correct adequately. You have already suggested one idea yourself, namely increasing the clinical crown at the expense of the soft tissue. The procedure is surgical and, in the sec

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I am 43 years old. On the lower right side of my jaw I am missing the first and second molars (for several years), and recently my dentist also extracted the upper left first molar. I have quite curved roots, so extracting all of the teeth was fairly demanding. I am considering replacing all three teeth

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! Two and a half months after tooth extraction is a suitable time for implantation. In some cases implantation can be performed immediately after extraction (in the same session). To assess this possibility we need an X-ray, but for the locations you mention we usua

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know the price for extracting one tooth, placing two dental implants, and whether it is possible to have all of this done under general anaesthesia? Thank you and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! If we make two separate bridges, it is necessary to grind the upper left central incisor and upper left canine, and for replacement of the second premolar, the first premolar and first molar on the same side. In this case we make seven crowns. Price: - EUR 210 (me

Visitor asks:

Hello! My upper lateral incisor has erupted quite far forward, and the canine has therefore grown in diagonally underneath it. What solution can you suggest, how long would such treatment take and, of course, what would it cost? Thank you for your answer and kind regards. Dušanka

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 best solution would be orthodontic treatment (braces). The therapy is long-term (a year or more) but non-radical (without tooth preparation). I do not perform this treatment myself, so orthodontists can give you all the relevant information. If you do not choo

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have 7 metal-ceramic crowns in the upper arch that are approximately 15 years old. I would like to replace them. I am considering zirconia crowns. What would be the approximate replacement price and what is included in the price? Approximately how long does fabrication take from the impression? Do you make tem

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! In the lower left jaw I am missing teeth 6, 7 and 8. I would like to have 2 implants placed with a bridge over them. I am interested in the approximate price and the time within which this could be done, privately of course. I would also like to know how many visits would be needed for this procedure. 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! Given the situation, I believe we would place implants in positions 6 and 7 and you would not need an intermediate pontic, because extending the dental arch into the wisdom-tooth region is not necessary. Price of the procedure: - EUR 750 (implant) X 2 = EUR 1500 -

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have had a removable upper denture for several years. Is it possible to place implants and secure the denture?

I would like everything to be completed in the shortest possible time, so I am interested in the price and 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! A dental denture can be secured with dental implants. To stabilize a conventional full denture, we need two implants. Price: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur -700 Eur (full denture) If you want a denture without a palatal plate (the palate is not covered), we nee

Dear Sir/Madam! I am 57 years old. Please advise me if you can. In the upper jaw I have an 18-year-old bridge that will be replaced. However, I was shocked when during treatment my dentist had to remove on the left side the lateral incisor (which was attached), the canine (attached), the first premolar and the second p

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 I have understood the described status correctly (the lateral incisor, canine and first molar are missing on the left side), the lateral incisor and canine can be mounted on one implant, while the second implant would serve to replace the first molar. You would
