Hello. Years ago a dentist extracted two teeth from my lower right jaw (I do not know the professional names for them), the 3rd and 4th teeth counting from the back of the mouth toward the middle. This created a huge gap. I had been to the dentist, who had treated both teeth. Of course this gap bothers me a lot, because I have difficulty eating on that side and food literally passes through. Now he has also extracted the last tooth in the lower jaw on the left side, so now I cannot eat on either side. I would like to know approximately how much two new teeth next to each other cost and what this is called — a bridge? Who performs or makes such a procedure? My personal dentist? And one more question: I brush regularly and take care of my teeth, so why does this keep happening to me, why are my teeth literally deteriorating??? I am only 23 years old. Thank you in advance for your answer! Marjana

Dear Sir/Madam!A gap of two consecutive missing teeth can be treated in two fixed-prosthodontic ways.The most common solution is conventional fixed prosthodontic treatment with a bridge consisting of four new artificial teeth. In this case both adjacent teeth bordering the gap must be prepared, so from this perspective the method is quite radical. The result is quick, reliable and aesthetically flawless. Price: 4 X 210 EUR (metal-ceramic) = 840 EUR. The second, more modern solution is oral-surgical. Placement of two implants at the sites of the extracted teeth allows replacement of the missing teeth without grinding the hard dental tissues of the neighboring teeth. Price: 750 EUR (implant) X 2 + 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = 2340 EUR.As to why you have lost the teeth, it would be difficult to answer without an examination and an X-ray.Have a nice day!

Hello. I have a question and hope you can help me. I have a tooth in which there was supposed to be medication, or it was supposed to be temporarily cemented. It has already been half a year since my dentist opened this tooth and put in what was supposed to be medication or dental cement. Now everything has fallen out of the tooth, and he has already told me three times that he would make a crown, but nothing has happened. I now have an open tooth with a hole; only the walls and one piece protruding from the gum remain. I would like to know whether it is actually all right that he left this tooth open? Now I have to wait another two months. A crown was supposed to be made for the tooth, and I do not understand why I have already had to wait half a year for the crown and now an additional two or three months with an open tooth. I do not know why this cannot be arranged sooner, because it bothers me and I am afraid that the remaining walls of the tooth might break or that an infection could occur. Please help me with your advice.

Dear Sir/Madam!You should certainly trust your dentist, because there is probably a sound reason that can justify all of the steps taken. The process of treating a tooth can be lengthy and may require the root canal dressing to be changed several times. If the conditions in the root canal are still not suitable for its final filling, the process naturally becomes even longer. The timing for making a crown is additionally dependent on the date of payment by the health insurance company and consequently on the waiting time. I am convinced that the dentist in question will be able to answer the question you have also asked us.Have a nice day!

Hello! A few years ago the nerve in one of my teeth died. The non-vital tooth was then treated and sealed. A few months ago, however, part of this tooth chipped or broke off. In order to place a post, my dentist referred me for an X-ray at the time. After examining the image, she found a cyst (granuloma) (?). While rea

Dear Sir/Madam! I have problems with all my teeth. Can I register with you under the concession system?

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 26 years old and would like to know whether, if I want a removable orthodontic appliance, it is necessary to extract teeth, specifically the lateral incisors or canines. My dentist says that almost every orthodontist usually extracts at least one tooth to make room for the others. In the first year of secon

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Within orthodontic therapy, teeth need to be extracted if a study of the dental arches and teeth shows that there will not be enough space in the dental arch itself to align all teeth. The type of orthodontic disorder determines the type of orthodontic appliance.

Hello! My partner already has his own personal dentist, but because he has had very bad experiences with him, he is considering changing dentists. I would like to know whether you are still accepting new patients through public health insurance or only privately paying patients. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! We are accepting new patients in both clinics. There is a waiting period for appointments. Please call us. When determining the date of the visit, we will also take into account the severity of the condition from which the person is suffering. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know what payment options are available for services at your practice. Do you offer installment payments and, if so, over how many installments at most? I will most likely decide on an implant to replace my second premolar. Thank you very much for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! At our practice you can pay for services by bank transfer to our transaction account, by bank card, or in cash. We offer the possibility of paying in installments. The number of installments is agreed before the procedure. So far, the maximum we have agreed to has

My teeth are very badly damaged. Since they did not cause me pain until now, I avoided the dentist, but now I cannot anymore! At the same time I have a panic fear of dentists!! Can teeth be treated under general anesthesia?? A few teeth have broken off so far that the gums now cover them, which causes me a lot of pain

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! The first and probably biggest step is the first visit to the dentist. After an examination and X-ray imaging you will learn the treatment plan. The procedures are painless. Gather your courage and begin. Have a nice day!

Kind regards! For quite some time I have had a problem with the ceramic restoration in the upper jaw, from the right tooth 2 to the left tooth 6.

Visitor asks:

Hello! My dentist suggested crowns on my upper central incisors, which already have too many fillings. I would now like another opinion about what is more suitable at my age of 45: a metal-ceramic or an all-ceramic crown? Thank you very much for your advice!! Joško

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Both types of crowns are durable, functional, aesthetic, resistant to fracture and abrasion, and non-allergenic. They do not differ in the essential properties that a crown must have. Unlike a metal-ceramic crown, an all-ceramic crown transmits light and thus imit
