We can certainly make the prosthodontic construction on implants that have already been placed. The price of a metal-ceramic crown on a titanium abutment is EUR 420; the price of an intermediate pontic is EUR 210 if it is a bridge construction. The price of an all-ceramic crown is EUR 350 + all-ceramic abutment EUR 300. An intermediate pontic costs EUR 350. If you send us a panoramic X-ray on which the inserted implants are already visible, we will prepare an exact quotation.

Hello!
I am 51 years old. I have had periodontal disease for about 5 years (since it has been treated). I underwent curettage, I am invited for check-ups, and they say that my oral hygiene is satisfactory. At that time both lower central incisors were the most mobile, almost to the point of falling out. I managed to keep them; the inflammation temporarily calmed down and the teeth were somehow cemented together, so they are fixed and no longer mobile. The problem is that pus accumulates every day in the gum between the two teeth. There is a small hole in the gum that does not heal, and when I press the inner side of the gum with my tongue, foul-smelling pus comes out. What do you advise — extraction of the teeth?! I am worried whether this could lead to other problems (bone pain, etc.). I intend to have crowns placed over these teeth!? I want to keep the teeth, but not at the cost of other problems. Thank you for your answer!

Dear Sir/Madam!
Judging from your description, there is a fistula or sinus tract next to the tooth, which could indicate chronic inflammation at the root tip that occasionally flares up acutely, manifesting as a small discharge of purulent fluid through the sinus tract. We always decide on treatment of the tooth in question after reviewing an X-ray. The described tooth, as well as advanced periodontal disease, represent persistent chronic inflammations or foci that could theoretically affect disease processes in distant organs (joints). A discussion of this is complex and lengthy, but this possibility should certainly be taken into account. The decision to place crowns on existing but periodontally compromised teeth is made after reviewing an orthopantomogram, measuring periodontal pockets, determining clinical mobility, assessing the history of the disease, adherence to oral hygiene and, ultimately, the patient's wishes, and after considering all other options. To answer this question, we need to invite you to the practice.

Hello!
I have a bridge in the upper left jaw that is supported by the second premolar and wisdom tooth. They have now found that the wisdom tooth under the bridge has fractured, and my dentist told me she cannot help me and that the tooth has to be removed. I would like to know what the bridge could then be supported on if I lose the wisdom tooth, if a bridge can be made at all, and of course the price of the procedure.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Madam!
Since the last abutment of the bridge has failed, we can no longer make the same type of bridge. The last tooth in the row is therefore the second premolar, which can be considered a shortened dental arch. The solutions are as follows: -a partial denture (removable restoration), if the dental arch is also incomplete on the other (homologous) side. -a cantilever, meaning extension of the dental arch by one tooth, but in this case the construction must be extended toward the first premolar and at least two abutment teeth included; this is quite a radical procedure if the first premolar or even the canine is intact. -placement of one, or preferably two, implants and fixed prosthodontic reconstruction of the entire side. We can discuss the cost when you decide on the type of treatment and after a clinical examination and review of a panoramic X-ray. Please call us.

The probability also needs to be defined in relation to the age of the filling. After ten years, the statistical value for an amalgam filling (according to the literature) is approximately 25%. For white fillings, this probability is considerably higher even over a shorter period. The probability also varies greatly depending on the extent and location of the filling.

Dear Sir/Madam,
a few weeks ago a pus-filled lump appeared above my upper lateral incisor, from which pus and blood drain. At the examination, my dentist told me that because the lateral incisor below is non-vital, he suspects that the tooth has cracked and that this pus-filled lump is a consequence. He also told me that the tooth would need to be extracted and an implant placed, although he advised me to seek an additional opinion. I would like to know whether it is possible to have an examination with you and what the price of an implant is.

Dear Sir/Madam!
A root fracture can certainly cause the problems you described. The choice of treatment for a fractured root depends on the location of the fracture: -fractures in the cervical part of the tooth are usually not problematic; the coronal part is removed and the tooth is restored with a post and an artificial crown -fractures in the apical part are treated with apicoectomy, an operation in which the broken root tip is removed through an opening in the bone -fractures in the middle part of the root are usually fatal for the tooth -vertical (longitudinal) cracks are fatal for the tooth and require extraction. An extracted tooth can of course be replaced with a dental implant (price 900 Eur) Book an examination by telephone at 04/5300660 or 040294488.

Dear Sir/Madam!
I have an upper bridge that spans 10 teeth. It has already been 12 years, and over the last year or two I have had terrible bad breath. Despite cleaning my teeth several times a day, even chewing gum cannot eliminate the odour.
Because I notice food getting behind the teeth (I hope nothing is decaying underneath), I would like to know:
Is it possible to remove the bridge and then place the same bridge back with new cement and minor repairs? I am asking both from a financial point of view and because the teeth/bridge are otherwise good and I have become used to them.

Dear Sir/Madam!
The cause of bad breath is most often deposits on the tongue. Studies carried out on thousands of subjects have shown that the problem is resolved fastest by brushing the root of the tongue. In your case, of course, the bad breath could also be associated with accumulation and decomposition of food residues under the bridge. Without a clinical examination and X-ray, it would be difficult to say whether carious processes are occurring in the abutment teeth. If the bridge can be removed without damage, it could of course also be used again in the future.

White spots are most often the result of excessive accumulation of fluoride in enamel crystals. Unfortunately, the discoloration is deep and results from a change in the arrangement of the crystals, so it can only be removed by removing the discolored part of the enamel (grinding). The removed part can be replaced with composite material.

Dear Madam!
If implantology and orthodontics are excluded from treatment, then the only remaining option is fixed prosthodontic therapy. The method is quite radical and irreversible, because prepared teeth cannot be returned to their original condition, but it provides very good and rapid aesthetic and functional results that are also quite durable. The abutment teeth (canines and central incisors) are prepared at certain angles into the shape of a truncated cone. The altered shape of the dental crowns also provides enough space to replace the missing lateral incisors (in this case they are pontics in a bridge), while the tooth colour is newly adapted to aesthetic and subjective needs. For a final assessment, please send us a panoramic X-ray or come for a clinical examination.
