Hello. For replacement of an old filling in my lower first molar, my dentist said that an inlay would be necessary. After looking at prices, I noticed a considerable difference between the price of a filling and an inlay, so I would like to know whether an inlay is really necessary for this tooth or whether a new filli

Dear Sir/Madam! If there is more extensive destruction of the dental crown, an inlay is certainly a better solution (for example compared with a white filling). The material is considerably stronger and the seal is better... The alternative to this solution is, of course, a large

Visitor asks:

Hello Mr Rotar. I would like to ask the following question. I broke a front tooth in half; can my own tooth be repaired in any way, or do I have to have it extracted and an artificial one made??!! Thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regards. PS — a friend recommended you to me.

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 prognosis of the tooth depends on the location of the fracture: -fractures down to the level of the tooth neck can be treated relatively easily by making a dental crown or a filling -fractures in the middle third of the root are usually fatal for the tooth -fr

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am missing the upper left lateral incisor. Can this tooth be replaced with a bridge attached to the canine, and is that then fixed prosthetics or can I remove it myself?

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 tooth can be replaced in two ways: -Making a bridge or cantilever, in which the missing tooth can be supported by a crown on the canine alone. -Placing a dental implant, which avoids preparation of the neighboring tooth. In neither case do you remove the resto

Visitor asks:

Hello I would like to ask: I have chronic periodontitis and I am 33 years old. Over the past year or so I have already lost almost all my teeth. Although I still have 7 teeth in the lower jaw, three of them are already loose. Is there a solution where I could have the remaining teeth extracted and receive a fixed dentu

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 the question correctly, you would like a partial denture to be attached to teeth that could still remain in the mouth. This is certainly possible. It is also possible to combine the existing teeth with a fixed construction (bridge) on implants. To

Visitor asks:

Hello.. two years ago I had a tooth extracted, the upper right first premolar.. I still have the second premolar.. I would like to know what could be done so that I could have something placed there and there would no longer be a gap? I no longer dare to smile, I am very afraid of the dentist... three years ago I had 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 Sir/Madam! The missing first premolar can be permanently replaced in two ways.: -making a bridge, which requires preparation of two neighboring abutment teeth, onto which three new crowns are cemented. -placement of an implant, whereby the neighboring teeth are left intact.

Visitor asks:

Hello. In my upper jaw I have two dentures, one side with 4 teeth and the other with five. I would like to know how much it would cost to restore the entire upper jaw, including the front teeth. Does any part of this fall under health insurance?

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 still have nine teeth in the upper jaw, which could be used as abutments for a complete semicircular fixed construction (12 teeth). Price of the treatment: -210 Eur (porcelain-fused-to-metal crown) X 12 = 2520 Eur. The price includes

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, what is wrong with a tooth that has supposedly been "dead" for a year, yet during root canal cleaning I react as if someone were poking a live wound with a sharp object? Thank you and kind regards.

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 pain is caused when the endodontic file touches the periodontal ligament, the membrane that also surrounds the root tip and thus determines the length of the canal. Contact with a responsive periodontal ligament is a good way to check the length of the root ca

Visitor asks:

I would like to know whether it is possible to have all my dental work done at your clinic under local anesthesia? I have quite a few things that need fixing and I would like to have everything done at once. Is that possible and, of course, what would the price be? Thank you.

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 certainly treat teeth under local anesthesia. To provide an exact estimate, I need to take an X-ray and perform a clinical examination. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, 14 days ago I had a tooth (first molar) placed on an implant abroad. Now the tooth has started to become loose. I would like to know how this can be repaired. Thank you for your answer and kind regards. Please do not publish my name. Thank you

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! Most likely the screw that secures the abutment in the implant has loosened. The problem can be fixed. Have a nice day!
