Visitor asks:

Hello, during children's play my 9-year-old grandson broke a tooth – the upper central incisor. They have already tried twice to glue the broken fragment back on, but each time it fell off again after only a week. Is there a more durable solution? We would not like this to affect his self-confidence, because the broken

Dear Sir/Madam! Tooth fragments that we try to bond back onto the tooth surface are usually not the most durable solution. It might be better to rebuild the tooth with composite material, which is also a completely non-radical procedure and provides good aesthetic and functional

Dear Sir/Madam, I have had a bridge on the lower left side for 16 years, extending from tooth 4 to tooth 8. Teeth 6 and 7 are missing. What would be the price of removing the bridge and replacing the missing teeth with two implants? What is the lifespan of Bredent implants? Thank you/kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam! The price of the procedure you are asking about: - EUR 750 (implant) X 2 = EUR 1500, - EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 840, - total: 2340. We remove the bridge free of charge because without that procedure we cannot begin the treatment just described. We prov

Dear Sir/Madam! A few days ago my dentist removed the root of my upper second premolar. I had already been without a tooth in that spot for several months. I have no pain, it is healing nicely, my jaw is healthy, and when I speak or smile it is not visible that I am missing a tooth. I only had a very severe reaction to

Dear Sir/Madam! In every case we aim to replace a lost tooth and maintain a continuous dental arch. This allows the biting forces to be distributed evenly among the teeth and prevents the teeth from moving toward the gap. An interrupted dental arch is also unfavorable because it

Visitor asks:

I have a problem. I do not know exactly what these teeth are called, so I will try to describe it simply: the first two teeth under my nose are fine, but the tooth next to them has chipped and it looks very unattractive. I do not know what I should do. Thank you for your answer and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam! The condition described is most often treated in a simple way: the dental crown is built up with composite material (white filling). If the defect is very large, prosthetic restoration with an artificial dental crown and perhaps even a root anchor (post) is requir

Hello, I would like to know what the waiting time is at your clinic for removal of an erupted wisdom tooth and the approximate price of the procedure. Is the procedure painful? I have a very low pain threshold, so I kept postponing the procedure.

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, two weeks ago I had an implant placed and everything went without complications. Three days ago, however, the area became swollen and painful. I was prescribed an antibiotic for 6 days. The X-ray showed inflammation beneath the implant. I would like to ask for your advice on how to treat this so that th

Dear Sir/Madam! It is difficult to answer your question precisely without seeing the X-ray. If problems occur immediately after implantation, we can most often resolve them with antibiotics, pain medication and cooling. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Mr Tomaž, first of all I would sincerely like to thank you, because I see that you answer all patients!! I would like to ask you: my dentist told me that I need crowns on my upper teeth. What kind of crowns should I choose, metal-ceramic or all-ceramic, because I see that metal-ceramic crowns are cheaper? I am int

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 warranty periods, durability, fracture resistance, marginal seal... do not differ significantly between the two types of crowns you are asking about. The difference is mainly in appearance. An all-ceramic crown has no metal core (coping) that would block the p
