Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! On the left side I have 4 dead teeth (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7). I would like to know whether I would need a partial denture to replace the teeth and how much it would cost. Would I have to cover all the costs myself even if I have valid 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! The teeth can be replaced with a removable prosthetic solution (partial denture) or a fixed prosthetic solution (placement of implants and a fixed construction). Denture prices vary depending on the method of fabrication and the quality of the denture: -EUR 500 (c

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have problems in the upper left. Teeth 4 and 5 (already crowned) have had root surgery twice; now they need to be extracted, and “decay” is visible on the panoramic X-ray. Teeth 3 and 6 are healthy! What should be done? Implant? How long does the procedure take, what is the price for the entire treatm

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 best solution is certainly an implant, because this allows you to avoid grinding healthy teeth. Usually two implants are required, although due to certain anatomical and other conditions it is sometimes possible to use one implant with a cantilever. The proced

Visitor asks:

Hello! Could you make only the prosthetic restoration on an implant for me (upper lateral incisor)? What material or which crown is most suitable given that it is fully visible? And how much would it cost? Thank you for your answer and kind regards! Katja

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 can make only the prosthetic restoration. Let us know the type of implant so that we can prepare accordingly. Price of the restoration (for Bredent): - EUR 420 (metal-ceramic crown) - EUR 700 (all-ceramic crown with zirconia abutment). Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I am missing half of both upper central incisors, or rather the teeth are worn into a curved shape because I wore a piercing for many years and it "ate away" the teeth. Both upper first and second premolars have been treated, but they broke after childbirth. I would like to know whether I could have ven

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 have correctly understood the description of your dental status, you need four crowns on the premolars (two left, two right) and two crowns or veneers on the incisors. The price of the service depends on the material you choose: - EUR 210 (metal-ceramic crown

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have a crown on my upper central incisor. This tooth has hurt several times, or rather it has been sensitive. Twice a pus-filled bump appeared above it — so twice in approximately 9 years. When it appeared in December 2011, I went to the dentist and he told me that it was nothing serious, just inflammation. Wh

Dear Sir/Madam! If the root canals are not patent, or the canal is inaccessible for other reasons (root post), then in the clinical situation described we consider an apicoectomy. The success rate of apicoectomy is quite low, especially in cases where its performance is limited b

Visitor asks:

Hello! Eight months ago my son had a porcelain crown made on an upper central incisor (on a post). After a few months I noticed that the crown had become grey. I would like to know how it is possible that this artificial tooth changed colour, and whether there is any solution so that the difference in tooth colour will

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 think you may have misunderstood the dentist and that your son did not receive a crown, but that the tooth was only built up with composite material. In that case, the crown or material can darken because the tooth core also darke

Visitor asks:

I have a partially erupted wisdom tooth that needs to be removed. I would like to know whether there is a high chance that the nerve could be severed. Kind regards

Dear Sir/Madam! The degree of risk can be estimated approximately by reviewing an X-ray. In principle, the complication mentioned is very rare. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! In the 5th grade of primary school I injured both upper front central incisors. I then underwent treatment and repair of the teeth. In the 8th grade the dentist made "posts" and crowns. Soon afterwards I had pain in my left arm, neck and on the left below the heart (AT THE TIME I DID NOT CONNECT THIS).

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 believe there is no connection between the two problems described. This certainly does not mean that the tooth does not require additional treatment, because it represents a chronic focus that can cause disease elsewhere in the body (focal infections). However,

Visitor asks:

Hello! Both of my upper lateral incisors are crooked and protrude outward. I would like to know whether they can be corrected in any other way besides braces, because there is not enough space behind them for them to return to the proper position (the canines are too close; at the orthodontic examination I was told tha

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 best way to correct the problem described is certainly orthodontic treatment (with braces). If this is excluded for professional or subjective reasons, the problem can be corrected with fixed prosthetic treatment (crowns, veneers...). Most often, treatment is

Visitor asks:

Hello! Both of my lower tooth 6s are badly damaged. On one, only the root remains, while the other is completely broken off on one side. I would like to know the price for two new teeth and, before that, for extracting these roots. Thank you for your answer. 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! A missing lower tooth 6 can be replaced in two ways: - if you still have tooth 7 present, we can make a bridge from tooth 5 to tooth 7. This of course requires preparation of both abutment teeth. Price for one side: - EUR 210 (crown) X 3 = EUR 630. A better option
