Visitor asks:

Hello, I am facing a fairly extensive dental reconstruction and would like to ask the following. Because I have periodontal disease, my dentist suggested implants. Since I also lack bone, he recommended bone augmentation. I would therefore like to know how much bone augmentation with a membrane for one half of the uppe

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on the information you have provided, I can give you a price that includes implant placement together with bone augmentation for one half of the upper jaw, which you intend (I assume) to restore with a fixed prosthetic restoration (an implant-supported bridg

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have lost two upper teeth (22 and 21) and would like implants in this area. I would like to know whether the 420 Eur price for the crown refers to a metal-ceramic crown and whether you also offer a zirconia restoration, as I have read online that it is more recommended for the aesthetics of front teeth. Thank

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of 420 Eur applies to a metal-ceramic crown. An all-ceramic crown can also be made, at a price of 700 Eur. Your situation would most likely be treated with one implant and two crowns, so the price would be: -750 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (crown on the impla

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to ask the following. My dentist concluded that he cannot replace the silver fillings on my premolars because they are too large. He therefore decided on some procedure in which the walls of the tooth would remain, a post would be added, and then a ceramic cap. At least that is how I unders

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 price of the described procedure, making a crown with a post, is: -210 Eur (ceramic crown) -30 Eur (post). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I have a question. My dentist made four crowns on my upper teeth, on the first and second molars on both sides. Because I was unsure about the appearance, I chose veneered crowns, meaning the visible side of the tooth is white and the rest is metal. This now bothers me and I would like the whole tooth to be whit

Dear Sir/Madam! You have two aesthetic options: -210 Eur (metal-ceramic crown) -350 Eur (all-ceramic crown; zirconia) Both crowns have no visible metal. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, During my student years (I am now over fifty) I first had problems with an upper central incisor. In the 1980s, after the birth of two children, the tooth broke. At that time the nerve was removed and a post was inserted into the root. Years ago I had the crown replaced, but the root filling was not renewed. Abo

Dear Sir/Madam! We can arrange the first examination relatively quickly (within a few days), but it would be best if you called me on 040 294488 so that we can coordinate the appointment. Further treatment naturally depends on the diagnosis and the probable prognosis, which I wil

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know the price and possible solution for my situation concerning my central incisor. In my teenage years I lost half of the tooth and my dentist built it up. I assume it was restored with white filling material. Quite some time has passed and the built-up part has changed colour; it is one or two

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! Based on what you have written, I assume that only a new composite build-up is needed. The price of the procedure is 65 Eur. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

I went to the dentist and, because my lower left first molar is practically three-quarters filling, he advised grinding the tooth and restoring or building it up with some kind of post, which would then be shaped back into a tooth. He said he would not extract the tooth. I should mention that I have problems with infla

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! Based on what I have read, I believe the tooth needs a crown with a root post. The price of the procedure is: -210 Eur (crown) -30 Eur (root post) Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I am not sure whether you are the right person to ask about my problem, but I will try anyway. Today I felt a lump on the roof of my mouth, about half a square centimetre in size. It is very painful to touch. Could this be dangerous? Is it possible that it is some kind of infection that I transferred in

Dear Sir/Madam! I cannot answer your question without a clinical examination. You can call me on 040 294488 so that we can arrange a time for an examination. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am 60 years old and have always had uneven front teeth, and over the years these irregularities have become increasingly pronounced. Otherwise the teeth are healthy. My dentist told me that the only solution is to extract the front teeth (perhaps leaving one central incisor) and replace them with a br

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 cannot answer your question without a clinical examination and an X-ray. If your periodontal tissues are also healthy, orthodontic treatment is the first treatment of choice because it is the least radical. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a problem: both upper canines are longer and look somewhat vampire-like, as I would describe it. The lateral incisors are positioned further inward. I am wondering whether the canines could be shortened by grinding and the lateral incisors corrected with veneers, so that the central incisors, lat

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 treatment you describe is certainly possible, but it is not necessarily the first treatment of choice. In such a case we most often recommend orthodontic treatment, which is non-radical but usually long-term and more or less inconvenient because of the fixed a
