Visitor asks:

Hello! You answer so nicely that I would also like to ask you something. I have healthy but black teeth: upper left central and lateral incisors and upper right central and lateral incisors. I would like to know how much crowns for these teeth would cost (I have read that a porcelain-ceramic crown is good)? Thank you f

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of a metal-ceramic crown is EUR 210. If we make four, the total price is EUR 840. The price of an all-ceramic crown on Zircon is EUR 350. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

I am wondering whether, after placement of an implant with an all-ceramic crown, the gums around that tooth become dark or black after some time.

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! This should not occur. If unforeseen bone resorption occurs on the outer (visible) side of the implant, the metallic color of the implant (if it is not zirconia) may show through a thin gum. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have brown spots on the inner side of my upper teeth which, according to my dentist, are not caries but tooth discoloration. What can I do myself to get rid of these spots? Thank you very much for your answer and kind regards. Maja

Dear Sir/Madam! Brown spots can have various causes, which also determine their treatment or removal. Most often they are surface stains that can be removed in different ways. If the changes are within the enamel structure itself (hyperfluorosis,...) the approaches are more radic

Hello! I have had dental problems since childhood, so now my mouth is quite a mess. In the upper jaw I have a partial denture on one side, a bridge on the other side, and two of my own front teeth. I am looking for solutions and, among other things, I would like to know whether you work with the SKY fast & fixed system

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! We use all Bredent systems, including the one you are asking about. Immediate loading of implants is the subject of many discussions at seminars. Different schools teach different approaches. If good primary stability of the dental implant can be achieved during s

Visitor asks:

I am 14 years old and I do not have lateral incisors. With fixed braces they moved the canines as close to the central incisors as possible, but there is still space between them and of course the teeth have a pointed shape. How could this be corrected? Thank you for the advice. Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! The shape of dental crowns can be changed in various ways: -build-up with composite materials is a quick, simple and non-radical solution, but over the years the material may become slightly discoloured, and we are also limited by the thickness of the added materi

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know whether you perform tooth build-ups (bonding). What is the price per tooth? Is there any discount if 8 upper teeth are treated, and how quickly could this be done? The teeth are smaller and there are spaces between them. 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! I assume you are asking about reshaping dental crowns with composite materials. The procedure is relatively simple but very time-consuming and precise. The results are usually very good, although composites can become slightly discoloured or damaged over the years

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! In the upper jaw I have a bridge made as follows: upper left first molar crowned, second premolar attached, first premolar crowned, canine, lateral incisor and central incisor crowned. The right central incisor is crowned, the lateral incisor is crowned but has decayed underneath the crown, the canine i

Dear Sir/Madam! A palate-free denture can be simple; in that case the retentive element is a clasp (a small hook that may be visible). The price of the product is EUR 900. If we make a better version of the product you are asking about, instead of a clasp the retentive element is

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have a question. Recently I went to the dentist and, because one tooth bothered me because it was slightly higher than the others, I asked the dentist whether he could grind it down and level it. After he ground the tooth down, I developed an open bite. I would like to know how this can now be corrected so 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! The height of the tooth can be corrected by making an onlay or a partial crown, which does not require tooth preparation (at least not to a large extent). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have a problem that looks small but is actually very important to me. Years ago my dentist extracted my upper right deciduous lateral incisor because there was no permanent successor. I was therefore left without a tooth, and the other teeth gradually began to move so the gap is now very small. Many people do

Dear Sir/Madam! Orthodontic therapy that will create space for the missing tooth, followed by placement of an implant in that position, is certainly the best solution. This procedure leaves the enamel of the neighbouring teeth untouched, which today should be the rule. The stated

Visitor asks:

Hello, 10 days after my last menstrual period I had a panoramic dental X-ray. It was taken with a digital device, but they did not provide any protective shielding. Today I found out that I became pregnant in the same cycle in which the X-ray was taken. I would like to know whether there is any danger to the fetus. Tha

Dear Sir/Madam! Exposure with this type of imaging is negligible because it is up to 10 times lower than with conventional imaging, and the location of exposure is far away from the problematic area. You can be reassured. Have a nice day!
