Visitor asks:

Dear Dr Rotar, I would like to know what the price of a bridge would be and how long it would take to make it. My situation is as follows: on the lower left I have two implants (ANCHYLOS system) in positions 3 and 7. The implants were placed in Ljubljana by Dr Gorenc. I now need a three-tooth bridge because the wisdom

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of the restoration you are asking about: - EUR 350 (pontic) - EUR 700 (crown on implant). If I have understood correctly, you need a total of three crowns: two on implants and one intermediate pontic. In this case the total price is: EUR 700 X 2 + EUR 35

Visitor asks:

Hello, three years ago the dentist removed the nerves (4) from my lower first molar. Since then the pain has accompanied me in intervals; it hurts and then stops. I have noticed that it starts if I am exposed to cold, for example skiing, and more often in winter than in summer. My whole lower jaw hurts, sometimes toget

Dear Sir/Madam! It is impossible to answer the question without a clinical and X-ray examination. I believe that you can trust the specialists who have already been making the diagnosis. If they have excluded all "usual causes", it may be wise to suspect neuralgic pain. Have a ni

Hello! I am a 20-year-old woman and I have a major phobia of dentists because of bad experiences. I would just like to know what is the lowest price at which you could remove my caries as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for your answer. I come from the Pomurje region; would that be an obstacle? 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! We usually treat carious lesions most simply by making fillings. For orientation, I can give you their prices: -EUR 50 (one-surface filling) -EUR 55 (two-surface filling) -EUR 65 (three-surface filling). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

I have a seven-year-old daughter whose upper permanent central incisor broke off. Because of pain from another tooth that was treated, she has developed an extreme fear. The tooth was built up after numerous visits to the dentist, with us spending the whole morning there (several times in vain). Now, after two months,

Dear Sir/Madam! It is very difficult to advise without an examination or at least a conversation. Experience shows that in the situations you describe, the most difficult part of the task is done by the parents, through preparation and, above all, firmness without giving in. Trea

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have the following problem: on the lower left I am missing the second premolar and first molar, while on the lower right I am missing only the first molar. Would it be possible to make bridges instead of implants? I am a student and the price of implants is currently too high for my budget... Are such bridges

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 need two bridges. On the left side, the first premolar and second molar would be used as abutment teeth, while on the right side the second premolar and second molar would be used. In total, seven teeth would therefore

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! Both of my upper canines are longer than the other teeth and look somewhat "vampire-like". Can this be corrected in any way — shorten or reshape the canines, perhaps lengthen the central and lateral incisors with veneers or in some other way? How much would such a correction cost? What is the lifespan 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! The shape of the teeth in question can be corrected in different ways: -composite build-up (minor changes in shape); 65 Eur per tooth. -aesthetic veneers; 350 Eur per tooth -metal-ceramic crowns (210 Eur) or all-ceramic crowns (350 Eur per tooth). We choose crowns

Visitor asks:

Hello, Last Tuesday my upper wisdom tooth was surgically removed. After a few days I developed a viral infection (runny nose, cough without fever). This Tuesday, after one week, the stitches were removed, but the surgeon said that the wound was not healing properly and was inflamed, so they are now treating it with a l

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 decline in systemic resistance when the body is fighting other infections certainly weakens the immune response to the problem in question. Bacteria can therefore colonise the affected area more easily and cause infection of the area, which is the most common po

Visitor asks:

I have a crown on the upper left lateral incisor. Recently I also had pain in the root of this tooth, so root surgery was performed, but apparently unsuccessfully. At the last postoperative X-ray my dentist told me that the root is fractured and must be removed/extracted. He therefore suggested an implant or a bridge.

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! Treatment with a dental implant is certainly more appropriate, in keeping with modern practice, and can no longer really be compared with a classic bridge. If the gap is restored with a bridge, at least one neighbouring tooth must be ground down (irreversibly dama

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have problems with my central and lateral incisors. About 6 months ago the teeth were newly covered with porcelain crowns, but somehow they did not “settle” properly, I cannot bite correctly, and aesthetically the result is not quite right either. What can be done? 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 visit to the dentist will certainly be necessary. Correction of the bite usually does not require extensive procedures, although this is not always true for correction of the aesthetic component. The latter depends mainly on the patient's wishes. Have a nice day
