Visitor asks:

Hello! Because of an inflammatory process around a dead tooth and movement of the root under a crown, I will probably need surgical dental treatment. Could I receive this treatment at your practice, and if not, where should I turn? Thank you for your advice and goodbye.

Dear Sir/Madam! You can receive the treatment at our practice. Please call us by phone. We look forward to your visit.

Visitor asks:

Hello! A granuloma (I assume) has developed in the upper left area. A lump has formed that is very sensitive to touch and biting and is very bothersome. I would like to know the price of complete treatment for this and what the waiting time is. Thank you for your answer and kind regards. Matej

Dear Sir! I assume that you have swelling next to a tooth, caused by a purulent inflammation in the bone around the root tip of the affected tooth. To assess the type of treatment, we would need to examine X-rays, which you can also send us by e-mail if they were taken digitally.

Visitor asks:

Hello! I decided to write to you because I need your help. I am currently in financial difficulty, but my teeth are in poor condition, specifically two crowns. I would like to know whether it is possible to make only new outer facings on an old bridge, since the rest of the metal framework it is attached to is still in

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 assume that the crowns are veneered. In that case, the plastic facings can be renewed with composite materials, although the result is nowhere near as high-quality or durable as new crowns would be. The price of repair per crown is EUR 50. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have a problem: at night while I sleep I grind my teeth. This has happened since childhood, but it has started occurring every night. It is very disturbing for my boyfriend and for me because it keeps waking me up. Can this be treated?

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! Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a disorder that we encounter increasingly often in practice, which is also thought to be a consequence of the everyday stresses patients experience. The causes can also be simpler: iatrogenic (caused by our treatment) or due to changes

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, a few days ago at a party someone accidentally hit me in the mouth with an elbow, so my gum split above the upper incisors and the tooth became very loose. I had swelling and a swollen gum. The right incisor hurt so much that I did not eat for 3 days, and now it has begun to be very sensitive, especiall

Dear Sir/Madam! The injury you described is not insignificant, so you will most likely need a dentist's help. Tooth mobility after an injury suggests several possible diagnoses: -fracture of the tooth root in the middle or cervical third -tooth subluxation and severe injury to th

Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like your opinion on porcelain veneers. I am 21 years old and most of my teeth already have fillings. The fillings on my front teeth bother me very much, but I would not want to do something that I might later regret. I would also like to know the price of one veneer. Kind regards, Petra

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! Ceramic veneers are among the more demanding fixed prosthodontic procedures, and their indication is strictly aesthetic. Teeth with extensive fillings are usually not suitable candidates for aesthetic veneers, because veneers need a fairly firm and intact substrate fo

Visitor asks:

Hello! Soon I will need two implants or a bridge in the lower left jaw. I would like to know the price of the implants (everything included, including the work) and what you think about a bridge (price). Thank you for your answers! 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! I assume that you are missing two teeth. With normal anatomy of the lower jaw (sufficient bone volume and a normal course of the nerve), the best solution is placement of two implants and fabrication of two crowns on them. This avoids preparation of the neighbouring t

Visitor asks:

My dentist gave me a referral for an apicoectomy of tooth 24. I would like to know what your waiting time is, whether you perform it under the concession system, or how much it costs if I pay privately, and what the waiting time is. Kind regards, Marička

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! We do not have a concession for oral surgery, so we can perform the service on a private-pay basis. The price of the procedure is EUR 90. The waiting time is approximately three weeks. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to know whether you also make zirconia bridges. What is the price per tooth on a zirconia bridge? How much does treatment of a tooth with 2 canals (probably necessary) with a non-metal post cost? Thank you, and enjoy your holiday.

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! We also make all-ceramic bridges on a zirconia framework. The price of a crown is EUR 350. Treatment of a tooth costs EUR 50 per session. Two to three sessions are required to complete root canal treatment. A non-metal post can be made of glass fibre (EUR 30) or z

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to ask for an answer to the following question. I have problems with my upper first molar. It is a root-treated tooth in very poor condition; the filling fell out several months ago, after which my dentist only placed a temporary filling, which has now fallen out again. Very little of the t

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! Given the problems you have described, I would definitely like to see the condition 'in person'. Under the term deep bite, I do not see problems that could affect implant placement at the site of the first molar. There may of course be other reasons that make implanta
