Your questions

Hello!
When I lived in Slovenia you were already my chosen dentist, so even now that I live and am insured abroad I am contacting you.
In the last year, part of my upper right first molar has broken off three times, and after visiting two different dentists in Germany, they explained to me that I need a crown placed (please excuse me if I am using the professional terms incorrectly).
Despite partial financial coverage of the procedure by my insurance company, the treatment is still very expensive. I would therefore like to know what the price of this service is for self-paying patients at your practice and how the treatment would proceed (since in that case I would have to come to Slovenia).
Best regards.

Hello,
I am missing two teeth, 5 and 6 in the lower right jaw, and I would like to know what is required to replace them with artificial teeth. I am looking at your services and do not know what is needed to replace the teeth. I am not interested in a bridge; I would like artificial teeth. Both teeth have already been extracted.
Best regards,
Miha

Hello,
I have a complete denture that is already very old. I would like to know the waiting time, the price of a new, better-quality denture, and how long it would take to make if I book an appointment.
Thank you. Best regards

​I have already been to your practice, where you fitted my upper denture and lower partial denture. I am now having problems with the lower partial denture because both main supporting teeth are loose. I would like to know how soon I could expect treatment, whether implants or just a denture, and of course the approximate prices. Best regards, Franc Hrabar

In the upper jaw on the left I have the lateral incisor, canine and first molar; on the right I have none. Which prosthetic option would you recommend? Thank you for your advice. Best regards

Dear Sir/Madam,
Because of recurrent inflammation under a bridge and unsuccessful endodontic treatments, I will most likely be left without teeth on one half of the lower jaw from tooth 3 onward (I have 1 and 2). Since I do not currently want implants, I would like to know whether you can advise or suggest another solution (a partial denture). Could you also please give me an approximate price and tell me how soon after extraction I could start using the denture? How long does it take from the examination to fabrication?
Thank you very much for your answer, Blazka

Hello!
In my upper jaw, all my teeth are covered with metal-ceramic restorations. It seems to me that because of this the teeth in my lower jaw are suffering, because I feel that they are wearing down and are more sensitive to stimuli.
Is it possible that this is due to the ceramic in the upper jaw, which is supposedly harder than natural teeth, and therefore causes faster wear of the teeth in the lower jaw?
My second question concerns the price of your services. Does the price of 210 EUR per unit for metal-ceramic include your work as well, or is that only the price of the material?
Thank you for your valued answer!

Hello,
I have a porcelain bridge in the upper jaw from tooth 3 to 8. For about a month now I have had problems around the 8 - at first my gum hurt badly when touched (it was not swollen, but touching it caused an unbearable "stabbing" sensation). The dentist removed tartar and prescribed antibiotics; the gum is still somewhat painful, but now I get severe pain in intervals - as if the nerve in a decayed tooth were hurting. It hurts for a few minutes, then stops, then starts again. It is worst at night and the pain radiates through the whole jaw, so I feel as if 2 and 6 hurt as well. An X-ray of 8 showed nothing.
My question is: to extract 8, does the entire bridge have to be removed and replaced with a new one (or can it perhaps be done differently).
And one more thing. How long is your waiting time for an examination and the procedure?
Thank you and best regards, Tanja

Hello,
I am contacting you with a question about replacing a worn-out bridge. The old bridge (3 teeth) would need to be replaced; in addition, one more tooth is missing and would be added, which probably means that 5 new teeth would need to be made. At the same time, I would also need 2 inlays on two other teeth. At least that is the diagnosis of your colleague. I would roughly like to know the cost of such treatment at your practice. I am also interested in the appointment procedure, how long the fabrication takes and how long the waiting time is.
Unfortunately, finances also govern our family budget, so please do not hold this way of inquiring against me. I am contacting you on a recommendation.
I know that it is difficult to estimate the cost of a procedure in this way, but I still hope for some feedback.
Thank you and best regards.
Best regards, Mija Šparovec

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to know whether it is possible to make a complete denture without covering the palate if it is not supported by any implants / other devices?
Secondly, I would also like to know the price of the following procedures:
-removal of 8 teeth
-temporary denture
-final complete denture
I would also like to ask (this is not for me) how many root caps an upper complete denture can be attached to? Can there be just one, enough to provide stability? Or must there necessarily be more? Or how many mini implants (if you place them at all)?
Thank you very much!
