Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, because I do not want a denture, my dentist advised dental implants. First she still needs to remove tartar from my lower jaw, after which she will refer me to a periodontist in Ljubljana. Depending on the periodontist's assessment, I will then decide between a denture and implants. This should be compl

Dear Madam! Implants are usually paid for at the stage when the sutures are removed. Each implant has a five-year guarantee against loss unless, because of relative contraindications (smoking ...), we agree otherwise. Payment in instalments by card is possible, as is payment by b

Hello. I am 26 years old and have not been to a dentist for 10 years. I do not have a problem with fear of pain, but I have other problems: excessive sweating, tremor and vomiting. Last week I went to the emergency dental service and they could not help me because I could not calm down at all. They therefore advised me

Dear Sir! You apparently suffer from extreme anxiety or fear of the dentist. The signs you describe are a consequence of negative emotions before or during procedures. Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is possible, but procedures carried out in such a state are strictly

I would like to know how much nerve removal and local anaesthesia cost... Can the procedure still be painful despite local anaesthesia? 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! Vital extirpation, or removal of the pulp, is a procedure that can be completed in one session or at most two if not all conditions for good root canal filling were met the first time. The price of the procedure is 50 Eur per session. Procedures under local anaest

Visitor asks:

Two months ago I had an accident, a fall from a bicycle. I fractured both my upper and lower jaw. I have a bridge on my upper teeth, which is also broken and slightly loose. If the supporting teeth need to be removed, how long will I need to wait considering my injuries? Thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regar

Visitor asks:

Hello, because of damaged bone, after deep scaling my gum receded and I now have spaces or little 'holes' between the teeth. The periodontist believes that any addition or closing of the spaces would further worsen the condition of the gums because cleaning would become more difficult. Apparently only orthodontic treat

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

Dear Madam! The periodontist's opinion should certainly be respected and trusted. To a certain extent, the interdental spaces can be reshaped and partly closed, but this must in no way affect food retention in the interdental spaces. The teeth can be reshaped with composite mater

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, On my upper bridge, the front surface on the lateral incisor has come off; I think it is called a veneer. The bridge is metal, and I would like to know whether this can be bonded back on or whether something else is required. 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! There are several solutions for the problem described: -if the veneer is not too damaged, it can be bonded back to the metal framework, with both contact surfaces requiring chemical treatment. -if the veneer cannot be returned to its original position, a new venee

Visitor asks:

Hello, Because of my fear of dentists, the condition in my mouth is terrible. In the upper right, the filling fell out of my first premolar and then almost the entire tooth chipped away. Only the inner side remains, plus a small amount on the visible outer side. Of the upper second molar I only have the root left. How

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! Before looking for a solution using implants, I would point out that, judging from your description of the fracture, the first premolar may still be salvageable with root canal treatment and fabrication of a root post and crown. The price of the procedure in this

Visitor asks:

Hello! My two upper central incisors are slightly chipped and I would like to know whether this can be repaired. I would also like to know whether the teeth can be levelled (the edges are slightly zigzag) and, finally, whether teeth can be straightened at your practice without braces; if not, where is this done? I woul

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!¨ Minor fractures of dental crowns can be repaired relatively easily. They are built up with composite materials, which provides good aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. The price of the procedure per tooth is 65 Eur. We do not provide orthodontic treatment ou

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know how the first examination for a bridge works at your practice: do I need to bring an X-ray of all my teeth with me, or can it be taken at your practice? I would also like to ask whether you could give me an examination date sometime in October. Thank you, kind regards, Darja Korenčan

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

Dear Madam! We can decide on the type and suitability of treatment much more quickly if you already have a panoramic X-ray. We cannot take that type of image with our equipment. To arrange an examination date, please call 04/5300660 or 040294488. We look forward to your visit!

Visitor asks:

Hello, because of an illness (an eating disorder), my teeth have begun to crumble and have been attacked by caries. I fill the small holes with Super Attack glue so that they are less visible. The teeth are of course completely unusable, and I would need a complete denture. I have not been to a dentist for about 15 yea

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

Dear Madam! I strongly advise against the procedures you describe carrying out on your own teeth. From what I have been able to understand, your first and biggest problem is taking the first step toward treatment of your teeth and oral cavity. I advise you to do so as soon as pos
