Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know the price for 3 implants for 3 missing teeth, how long the procedure takes, whether each implant is placed separately or all at once, how long the waiting time is, and whether any discount is possible. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam! If three consecutive teeth are missing (one gap), the situation is treated with two implants. Price: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur -210 Eur (pontic) X 1 = 210 Eur. If the gaps are separate, each gap is treated separate

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, 6 months ago my dentist extracted teeth 43 and 44 (supposedly it was one large filling, although I had no pain at all), and now he is away for a longer period, so we did not agree on how to replace the missing teeth. In the meantime tooth 42 has also started to become loose. I am 61 years old and until

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 gap can be restored in two ways: 1. Placement of one implant carrying teeth 43 and 44. If tooth 42 also needs to be extracted, two implants and a three-unit bridge on those implants are required. Price: -750 eur (implant) X 1 = 750 Eur -420 Eur (crown on impla

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have been having my upper first molar treated for several months. The dentist cleaned and treated two canals, but he cannot treat the third canal because he cannot “get through” it. There are supposedly also signs of inflammation at the end of this canal. I would like to know whether it is possible to treat th

Dear Sir/Madam! It is certainly worth trying (there is never a 100% guarantee). The price of the procedure is 180 Eur. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, Since 2006, in my upper jaw I had a crown on five front teeth and a removable denture attached to it. Two weeks ago the crown broke off, so I was left without teeth in the upper jaw. Because my dentist is on maternity leave, I am receiving emergency care only. One root has been extracted, but the remain

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! In the upper jaw I have a removable denture that will no longer be functional because my upper right first molar has to be removed, so on the right I will have only the first three teeth, while on the left I have only the central incisor and second molar. ( I lost all the others because of granulomas, a

Visitor asks:

One day ago I bit down hard on something hard. Nothing chipped off. I do not have any pain either. Only when I think about it, I have a slightly strange feeling in my teeth. Should I see a dentist because of this? Would my teeth have started hurting immediately if one had cracked or shifted? The gum is not injured. 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! In the event of a serious injury to the tooth or periodontal tissues, subjective and objective signs are present: pain, bleeding, tooth mobility, fracture of a fragment... It cannot be ruled out that you have a mild injury to the tooth’s supporting apparatus (peri

Visitor asks:

Good day! I would like to ask whether it is normal that a devitalized lower 7 tooth, with 2 nerves, has been hurting for 3 months. Yesterday I visited my dentist; she opened the tooth, cleaned the canals and placed medication, but the tooth still hurts on pressure and feels very hot. This morning I woke up with the tas

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! In your case the source of the pain is not the tooth itself but the periodontal tissue around the root apex, as a consequence of its infection. After application of the medication and while it is acting, certain subjective symptoms can be expected, such as those y

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, during root canal cleaning the dentist broke a white file used to clean the canal and it remained inside. Every two months I go to have the medication changed because of the long waiting time at the Dental Clinic. I would like to know how the procedure for removing the broken instrument is performed, wh

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! Various methods and instruments are used to remove a broken file, because it is usually difficult to remove. The procedure does not require anesthesia because it is completely painless. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! Recently my first molar had to be extracted because the tooth could not be saved. I would like to know how long the wound will heal and when I can replace the missing tooth. Which is better? A dental bridge or an implant? I would also like to know whether veneers can be placed on the front teeth (the two lateral

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Visitor asks:

Hello. A few days ago I noticed 2 small black spots on both lower first primary molars of my 22-month-old daughter. That same day we went to the dentist, who confirmed caries. He and the assistant discussed how it should be treated, namely that it would have to be done as in adults; then something about a material that

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! Caries progresses very quickly in primary teeth. In your case the lesion was deep, so the teeth had to be trephined/opened. The procedure for primary teeth differs from procedures on permanent teeth. We most often leave primary teeth open, because in most cases cl
