Visitor asks:

Hello I am missing one lower central incisor and the other one is also very mobile and will fall out at any time. I would like to know the approximate price for implants. Kind regards Nedim

Dear Sir/Madam! If I have understood the problem correctly, the solution is as follows: removal of both lower incisors and placement of one implant that would support two missing crowns. Price of the procedure: -750 Eur (implant) X 1 = 750 Eur -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 1 = 42

Visitor asks:

I have periodontal disease. Apparently I have had the disease for many years, but my dentist did not recognize it. I cannot understand how this is possible. I take above-average care of hygiene (interdental brushes, mouthwashes). I am, however, often under stress. I have already started treatment, scaling. I would like

Dear Sir/Madam! To answer, I would need to see at least a panoramic X-ray. If I could also perform a clinical examination, that would be even better. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! Many years ago, in an accident, I damaged my upper four front teeth (2,1,1,2). I wore a social-insurance bridge for 13 years, and apart from its unattractive appearance I never had any problems with the broken teeth. Last year, however, when I had the bridge replaced with a metal-ceramic one, the problems starte

Dear Sir/Madam! Any decision to make a new prosthetic construction on abutment teeth that are non-vital carries a certain risk. In every case we try to bring the condition of the abutments as close as possible to optimal (correct existing root fillings, insert posts...). Assessin

Visitor asks:

Hello, I am contacting you with a question. For the last few years I have noticed an unusual sensation in the area of my right ear (as if some container were placed over that area – a feeling of mild pressure... pressure changes with altitude equalize faster in the right ear than in the left. It starts popping quickly.

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! I do not think there is a connection between the dental and ear problems you describe. We decide on root canal treatment of a wisdom tooth if it is practically feasible (accessibility, canal morphology...). If treatment is not feasible, we extract it. I have never

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 35 years old and have very nice teeth, but still a major problem. At the age of ten, my orthodontist extracted all four healthy second premolars because there was too little room for the wisdom teeth to erupt. My teeth then aligned. Five years ago, however, pain started in the left first molar, which was ri

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! The lost first molar is best replaced with a dental implant. Price: -720 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (crown on implant) .To decide on treatment of the first premolar I would need to see the X-ray. Extraction is the last option. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would kindly ask for as quick an answer as possible to my question: Four years ago I had pain in the upper left first molar and the tooth was treated, the nerve was removed and the root was filled. Ever since then the tooth has caused occasional more or less severe pain, about which I informed the den

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! An apicoectomy, that is, removal of the root tip, is very difficult to perform on the tooth in question. The only option is retreatment of the root canals if the canals are passable. If the involvement of the periodontal tissues around the root tip is too extensiv

Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like to know how root canal retreatment works. The tooth is already dead, but it hurts. I recently had an X-ray and they noticed a shadow under the tooth, which means a granuloma. I would like to know whether this procedure is covered by a referral or is self-pay, and what your prices are. Thank you for

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! For patients registered at our practice, the procedure is fully covered by insurance. Unfortunately, we therefore cannot accept a referral and the procedure is self-pay. The price per session is 90 Eur. Treatment usually requires two visits. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a bridge on the lower right side and the last tooth is problematic. The dentist drilled a hole through the bridge and treated it... but unsuccessfully. That was 2 years ago. Now I already have a large hole; the tooth does not hurt, but I would still like to have it treated. Please provide informa

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! In principle, root canal treatment is completed in two to three sessions. The price of the procedure in this case is (2 X 90 Eur). For an answer I would definitely need an X-ray, which is also sufficient to assess the prognosis of treatment. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, My two upper central incisors are crooked and I would like to know the best solutions for this and the prices, or whether it can be treated in some other way and not only with orthodontic therapy. (For example, with zirconia crowns, grinding)

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! The best and also the most doctrinally correct solution is orthodontic treatment. The teeth can also be reshaped, thereby masking or concealing irregularities in their position. This can be done in the following ways: -reshaping with composite materials, which is

Visitor asks:

Hello. I would like to know what the options are for replacing the upper teeth. On the left and right both second premolars and wisdom teeth are still good, everything else is missing. What solutions are possible at least for replacing teeth 1–4 on the left and 1–4 on the right? Is a complete upper denture also possibl

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! The solutions are as follows: 1. Partial denture with a cast metal base. The first premolars remain in their existing form, and the denture is attached to them with clasps (hooks). The denture does not completely cover the palate. Price: 900 Eur. 2. Partial dentur
