Hello, I have a problem. While eating, a permanent tooth fell out (at least I think it was permanent), the upper left first premolar. Apart from the fact that I need to visit a dentist as soon as possible, I would also like to know what a dentist does in this case. What is the process? Thank you in advance for your ans

Dear Sir/Madam! The tooth can be replaced in two possible ways: -making a conventional bridge, which requires grinding and loading both adjacent teeth. Price: 210 Eur (metal-ceramic crown) X 3 = 630 Eur -placement of a dental implant, with the neighboring teeth remaining untouche

Dear Sir/Madam! I assume you are asking for the price of a full bridge in the upper jaw (that is, 12 crowns): -210 Eur (metal-ceramic crown) X 12 = 2520 Eur -350 Eur (all-ceramic crown) X 12 = 4200 Eur. The price includes all materials and procedures from the beginning to the fin

Visitor asks:

Hello! My 4-year-old daughter's upper first primary molar started to hurt, especially when pressure was applied. We went to the dentist... the little girl resisted drilling. The dentist could not completely remove the filling. She did remove most of it, however, so she opened the tooth (not completely). My daughter is

Dear Sir/Madam! The primary tooth was opened in order to release the pressure accumulating in and beneath the tooth. If the canal becomes blocked again by food debris or discharge, the tooth may start hurting again and swelling may also occur. Despite recurrent problems, I advise

Dear Sir/Madam! I did not fully understand the question, so I am giving you the prices for two solutions: -a complete denture supported by four implants (the denture is removed for cleaning, is stable and has no palatal plate): 750 Eur (implant) X 4 = 3000 Eur 900 Eur (denture wi

Hello! I would like to ask about a tooth. I keep having problems with one of my lower back teeth: the tooth neck hurts, and this has been recurring for about 3 months. I was at the dentist 14 days ago, where she applied some medication; I think it got a little better, but after a few days the pain returned... I use an

Dear Sir/Madam! Hypersensitivity of tooth necks to changes in temperature or osmotic pressure is quite a common problem. We manage it with special coatings and a correct brushing technique. I also recommend using special toothpastes that reduce hypersensitivity. Besides gum reces

Visitor asks:

what is wiser to make in place of the upper central incisors, a bridge or implants

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! As I understand it, the lateral incisors would still be suitable for treatment. Therefore there are two solutions: -making a conventional bridge from lateral incisor to lateral incisor, meaning four new crowns. Price: 210 Eur (metal-ceramic crown) X 4 = 840 Eur -p

Dear Sir/Madam, years ago I had crowns made on all my teeth, but now I would like to have them removed.

Hello, My child's (8 years old) upper incisors have started to discolor – they are developing vertical brownish streaks.

Dear Sir/Madam! The clinical picture you describe most closely resembles the accumulation of dental calculus, which can occur despite the effort you put into oral hygiene. The change is probably not related to a change in hygiene habits but may be connected with a change in the c

Dear Sir/Madam! If I understand what you have written correctly, the last tooth on the lower right is the canine or first premolar. In such a case, two implants need to be placed (in positions 4 and 6) to support a bridge. The prosthetic work in this case is not connected to the
