Visitor asks:

Hello! Today my dentist placed a new filling. When she asked me whether it was too high, I bit down and it seemed fine. When I got home, I noticed that it is a little too high. Although it does not bother me, I would just like to know whether this is okay or dangerous, because my next appointment is in 1 month.

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! Minor disturbances are acceptable. A disturbance that noticeably interferes with biting and other normal functions should be corrected soon, because it can ultimately lead to more serious problems such as teeth grinding (bruxism). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello On my existing bridge, the dentist ground down the upper layer of the bridge so that the dark metal part is now slightly visible. I would like to know whether the ground-off layer can be reapplied to the existing bridge or whether the black spot can be “whitened” in some other way? Thank you and kind regards, Saš

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 bridge can be repaired by applying material. The aesthetic result is good, but it can happen that when the structure flexes, a small piece comes off again. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! I would like to know whether you perform apicoectomy under the public concession and what the waiting time is.

Hello! In the area of the lower jaw on the left, I have had a bony prominence for several years (about 5 years), but it does not bother me. Nevertheless, my new dentist referred me to an oral surgeon for an examination in December 2013. The outpatient report states: "On examination, we find that this is the mandibular

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I am 50 years old, my teeth are small and the genetic quality is poor, but I make sure they are regularly cleaned and repaired. Unfortunately, I have many small fillings on my front teeth and, because I do not yet want veneers/crowns, I would like to know the following: - is it possible to use veneers 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 decision between veneers and crowns is based on several factors. If a considerable amount of hard dental tissue is missing (fillings), we prefer to make dental crowns. A veneer is bonded only to the front surface of the tooth. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Eight years ago I received a denture, but it is very poor and one of the front teeth has already come loose, so I glued it back myself. I would like to know after how long I am entitled to a new denture and, of course, what kind. 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! The service life of a denture is five years. However, this does not mean that the patient is automatically entitled to a new denture after that time. The insurer will cover the cost of making a new denture once the waiting period has passed and the dentist has est
