Ask Tomaž Rotar a question

Visitor asks:

I would like to know whether it is normal for swelling to occur after artificial bone (granules) has been placed in the jaw, with the swelling being worst on the third day (which is today). I am very swollen and have bruising under my eye, which is already almost closing it. I should add that because of peri-implantiti

Dear Sir/Madam! After the surgical procedure you describe, the signs you mention are very common, if not almost the rule. On the third to fourth day the clinical picture is usually most pronounced, after which the symptoms slowly begin to disappear. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know whether it is possible for my cheek above the tooth to itch after endodontic treatment, and what this means. The tooth does not hurt and is not sensitive, and there are no other visible signs on the cheek either (redness or anything similar). Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! I have not dealt with a similar problem myself, but I can assume that it is a consequence of the local anaesthetic, which I believe will soon disappear. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. On Monday I went to the dentist because of pain in an upper second molar that had been filled some time ago. She opened the tooth and placed some black medication inside to calm the nerve. It is now Wednesday and the tooth hurts when I press or bite on it. The pain is not very severe, but it is unpleasant. I wou

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! Pain after filling is a relatively common problem when extensive removal of diseased dentine is necessary. The treatment in this case is devitalisation of the tooth, i.e. removal of the vital dental pulp, which is carried out by means of “root canal treatment”. As

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am 63 years old and have had complete dentures for 20 years. They no longer fit me very well, especially the lower one. I would like to know how much new dentures (upper and lower) would cost and how long I would have to wait. Thank you very much for your answer.

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 complete dentures you are asking about is: 700 Eur (complete denture) X 2 = 1400 Eur. We adapt the start of the work to each individual as much as possible. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, what would be the total cost of extracting two lower front central incisors, one of which has already had root resection—a repeat apicoectomy failed—a temporary flipper denture, and then two implants and tooth restorations? Thank you and kind regards from Ljubljana.

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 the area mentioned, it is most often sufficient, and also the only feasible option, to place just one implant supporting two crowns (both central incisors). The price of the procedure, which includes all the services described, is: -750 Eur (implant) -420 Eur (

Visitor asks:

Hello, I am missing the first and second molars on both the left and right sides of the lower jaw. My dentist suggested a bridge on both sides, but it seems a shame to grind down the second premolars because they are healthy. The wisdom teeth on both sides have fillings. I think it would be better to replace the missin

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 believe one implant on each side would be sufficient (in principle, replacing the first molar is sufficient). The price of the procedure would be: -750 Eur (implant) X 2 = 1500 Eur. -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 2 = 840 Eur. Have

Visitor asks:

Hello. My lower right wisdom tooth is erupting. It has not even emerged from under the gum (and because of its angled position it probably never will). The X-ray showed that the tooth has to be removed. Last year I had an appointment with a surgeon, but because of exams and a job interview I could not attend the proced

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 the procedure we need a panoramic X-ray, which can also be taken at our clinic. The price of the procedure is 90 Eur. If the procedure is not urgent, we are booking appointments for mid-December. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have a gap between my two front teeth. How much would it cost to close the gap, and where could I have the gap between the front teeth repaired? Thank you for your answer and have a nice day!

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 gap between the two central incisors can be closed in several ways: -building up both incisors with composite, which is a non-invasive and reversible procedure but does not have a very long service life. Composites may become discoloured or damaged after a few

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 46 years old. I am planning a thorough restoration of my teeth and would like to know approximately what I can afford. In the upper left I am missing tooth 7, tooth 6 needs extraction (only the root remains), and tooth 5 is missing. In the upper right, tooth 7 is present but without a crown, and teeth 6 and

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 assume that the condition could be restored with four implants and four crowns on those implants. Price: -750 Eur (implant) X 4 = 3000 Eur. -420 Eur (crown on implant) X 4 = 1680 Eur. The price includes all materials and procedures from the beginning to the desi
