Visitor asks:

Hello! I have an incorrect bite. When I bite, the upper central incisors are positioned inward, while the lateral incisors protrude outward. I would like to have nice teeth and would like to know which procedure I should have and how much it costs? Thank you in advance for your answer:

Dear Sir/Madam! We do not perform orthodontic procedures in our practice, but I can tell you that the condition can be corrected with an orthodontic appliance. For the price you would need to ask an orthodontist. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, Two days ago I started feeling pain on the right side of my gums. At that time my lymph nodes also became slightly swollen. The following evening the entire right side of my gums started hurting again (from the wisdom tooth to around teeth 4 and 3). During the day the pain is not always present. It also

Dear Sir/Madam! The problems you describe may be caused by diseased tissue around the erupting wisdom tooth. Given the nature of the pain, despite this possibility it would be wise to take a panoramic X-ray and exclude the other teeth as the source of the problem. Have a nice day

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, our 11-month-old baby chipped off approximately one third of an upper central incisor (we still do not know how, because he did not fall; he probably bit into something very hard, did not cry, in short, it seems unbelievable to us); the upper incisors have not yet fully erupted, roughly only about half

Dear Sir/Madam! Theoretically, it would of course be advisable to protect the fractured surface with glass-ionomer cement or composite, because this surface is a site where caries may progress more quickly. In practice, however, things are much more difficult to carry out, becaus

Visitor asks:

Hello, I am interested in the price and the treatment procedure for an injured tooth. A prefabricated post and crown treatment will be required. It is the upper tooth 22, where I have a fractured root. I have received quite a few professional opinions and I am now deciding on this type of treatment, which, if unsuccess

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 root of the tooth is fractured, reconstruction with a post and dental crown is no longer possible. We recommend a dental implant. Price: EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on implant) = EUR 1170. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, my dentist is going to replace the crowns on my lower central and lateral incisors, which are 25 years old. All four teeth are "dead", without roots. Three years ago I had a purulent inflammation (granuloma) on three of these teeth, and an X-ray four months ago showed that there are still shadows at 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! To answer, I would need an X-ray of the lower incisors. Removal of the root tips is a relatively unreliable procedure. Success is greatly increased by prior root canal treatment. Both procedures depend on various factors that are difficult to assess based only on

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I have already been to your practice and have decided on implants in the lower jaw — both central incisors are already missing (I have a temporary flipper), and the lateral incisors are also poor. I would like to know: -first extract both lateral incisors and wait with the implants, or extract and place

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! Since I do not know the complete dental status in the lower jaw in detail, I will assume that the implants are intended to restore the intercanine sector (from the lower left lateral incisor to the lower right lateral incisor). For a fixed prosthetic restoration w

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, my specialist advises replacing all compromised upper teeth (10!) with ten implants (with bone augmentation and sinus lifts), because this is the best long-term solution. Bridges are an option, but he advises against them. I am afraid of such a large number of implants and of a possible reaction to them

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 this solution was proposed to you by a specialist, I see no reason not to accept it. The average ten-year survival rate of dental implants is around 95%. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have chronic iridocyclitis and my dentist mentioned that there is a device for detecting foci beneath dead teeth. Since I have 4 dead teeth, it is possible that one of them is causing my eye problems. My dentist advised me to try this first; only then, if there were no other way, would I have all the dead teet

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 personally do not know of a device that detects such foci. In alternative medicine, practitioners use various devices to look for foci, but I would not know how to comment on their reliability. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to know the price for 4 new teeth in the upper jaw, and the existing ones also need to be extracted because they have cavities. I am also interested in how the process works and how painful it is. I should tell you that I am very afraid of dentists. Thank you 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! The price of treatment depends on the method of reconstruction to the original condition. -A removable restoration is the simplest solution. If we replace the teeth with a partial denture, the price is EUR 500. A fixed prosthetic restoration can be performed in tw

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam. I am 58 years old. Because of periodontitis I gradually lost all the teeth in my upper jaw. I would like to replace my full denture with implants. I would like an estimate of how many implants are needed to stabilize a full upper denture, what eating (and appearance) is like while the implants are integ

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 implants may already be sufficient to stabilize an upper full denture. In this case the denture retains the palatal plate. Price: 750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur (if you keep your existing denture) In practice, we most often use four implants for this type of
