Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, Recently my dentist made me a new bridge. After placement of the bridge I no longer have a proper bite because the replacement teeth on the bridge are too short or have been ground down too much. I would like to know whether it is possible to build up the occlusal part of the bridge with composite (the

Dear Sir/Madam! A build-up is possible, but given the location it would probably not be very durable. It is better to make a porcelain cap over the existing bridge, thereby avoiding removal of the entire bridge. Bridges may be cemented with softer cements, so it may be possible t

Visitor asks:

Hello! During an examination by my dentist, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of inflammation around the upper second tooth, which is already affecting the bone of the two neighbouring teeth. What treatment would you suggest, given that the upper lateral incisor is already mobile? An implant or a bridge? I would

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! If I understand correctly, you are, or soon will be, missing an incisor. If the neighbouring teeth are intact, I recommend placement of a dental implant. The implant is most often placed immediately after extraction, and then we wait approximately 3–4 months befor

DEAR SIR/MADAM THIS JANUARY MY DENTIST HAD TO REMOVE ALL MY TEETH BECAUSE OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE. UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT PRESERVE THE CANINES. AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT MY DENTURE HAS BEEN RELINED, I SIMPLY CANNOT WEAR IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. MY JAW HURTS, THE DENTURE FALLS OUT, AND I NO LONGER USE ADHESIVE BECAUSE

Dear Sir/Madam! A denture can be unstable for various reasons, most often anatomical ones (shape of the jaws...). We most often solve the problem by placing dental implants. If you would like more precise information or a prosthetic treatment plan, you can call us on 040 294488 o

Visitor asks:

I have two teeth that need treatment. I would like to know whether it is possible to get a temporary veneer while the teeth are being treated, whether it can be provided immediately on the same day the treatment starts, and the price. Please reply. Thank you. Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! Temporary restorations can take many different forms. In any case, they can be made immediately (on the same day). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like to know what you recommend for tooth erosion. Some teeth are very worn. Which procedures would be the least expensive (self-pay)? Maybe fillings in 3 layers? 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! You are probably asking about restoration of wedge-shaped erosions, i.e. defects of hard dental tissues at the enamel-dentine junction (above the gum). Most often we restore them with a filling (composite). In cases of extreme depth, however, we use prosthetic res

Visitor asks:

Hello, My problem is mainly financial. I think it will soon be 2 years since my last visit to you at the health centre. I would need 2 x 2 crowns (upper right 5 and 6, and upper left 4 and 5), which I simply cannot afford. All these teeth already have filled root canals, but I have had problems with one of them since t

Dear Sir/Madam! The insurance company covers the service if the crown is a solitary crown. If it is a bridge construction, insurance covers the crowns on the abutment teeth but not the pontic. Insurance also does not cover ceramic crowns (metal-ceramic or all-ceramic), but rather

Visitor asks:

Dear Dr Rotar, I already have 4 implants and am now in a situation where I need two new ones. After extraction of the lower right second molar, the areas of the second premolar and first molar also remained edentulous; these had previously been covered by a bridge between the first premolar and second molar. I am now m

Visitor asks:

Hello! One week ago an oral surgeon removed tooth 36. Already on the second day I felt that the entire root had not been removed; part of it is protruding from the gum. I would like to ask whether this will come out on its own or whether I need to return to the oral surgeon. I do not have severe pain; the area on the o

Dear Sir/Madam! After extraction, patients most often feel sharp bone edges that remain exposed to contact with the tongue, or bone fragments that broke off during the procedure. The bone will certainly remodel (resorb) on its own. Final bone remodelling takes 4–6 months. If a ro
