Visitor asks:

Hello, my upper right wisdom tooth is growing out of alignment with the other teeth. Recently it has started growing toward my cheek and interferes with eating and speaking. I feel that it will need to be extracted. I would like to know: how soon could I expect to have the procedure if I come to you — perhaps the same

Dear Sir/Madam! You can make an appointment for the procedure by phone, and it is completed in one session. Price of the procedure: - EUR 60 (classic extraction) - EUR 90 (surgical removal, suturing...) Treatment of complications is not charged separately. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. Since I cannot wear a complete lower denture, I would like to have an implant-supported denture made. What is the price, how long does the procedure take and does insurance cover anything? Also, if I already have my own dentist, can I register with you? I would also have an upper denture made; currently it is at

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 prices you are asking about are: -complete denture (with cast base): EUR 710, -implant: EUR 750 (for denture stability we need at least two implants), -classic complete denture (upper with palate): EUR 500. It is not necessary to make both dentures at the same

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have a four-and-a-half-year-old son. Four teeth (4 and 5 upper right, 4 and 5 lower left) were ground down to the gum because pockets or tooth canals had become infected and filled with pus. These inflammations keep recurring; his gums are incised so the pus can drain, and he repeatedly receives antibiotics de

Dear Sir/Madam! Premature extraction of primary teeth will most likely cause problems with the eruption of the permanent teeth. The first permanent molar to erupt will move into the space of the premolars and thus cause a disturbance in their eruption. I believe that repeated adm

Visitor asks:

My son will need to have the roots of both upper central incisors removed after the teeth were knocked out. Since he is not yet 18 years old (he will be 17 in December), he cannot receive implants. I would like to know what the procedure is for making a non-invasive bridge (Maryland bridge or an inlay-bonded bridge). H

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 personally do not believe that your son is an unsuitable candidate for treatment with dental implants. I believe this would actually be the most appropriate solution because it is the only one that is non-invasive to the neighboring teeth. The service is not cov

Visitor asks:

Good day. I would like to ask what effect caries has on internal organs. Somewhere I read that there are fatal effects on the liver, kidneys and other organs, especially that bacteria found in the mouth cause these diseases. I am also interested in whether this is contagious, i.e. whether by transmitting these oral bac

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 give you an exact answer to the first question. Bacteria in the mouth (there are relatively few bacteria in carious processes compared with processes in periodontal tissues) can certainly affect other organs; the question is only to what extent (I do not

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have fairly healthy teeth; tartar often forms on the lower teeth and I have it removed by my dentist. What bothers me most is the dark color of my teeth, which is actually gray. What is the minimum number of veneers that would be needed on the lower and upper teeth to make the appearance different?

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 answer is primarily subjective (from your perspective). It depends on the smile line, how visible the teeth are when speaking... Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, I am missing the upper second premolar, but I did not decide on a bridge. I had an X-ray and the bone is too weak for an implant, so artificial bone needs to be added. I would like to know the total price of an implant with bone... and I am interested in durability (especially the bone). Does the bone become wea

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! Price of the procedure: -900 Eur (implant with added bone) + 450 Eur (crown on implant) = 1320 Eur. The implant has a five-year guarantee. Durability largely depends on good oral hygiene. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I have a broken dental bridge on teeth 5, 6 and 7 in the lower right jaw. Teeth 5 and 6 are prepared, tooth 7 is missing, and tooth 8 is healthy and intact. How much would a new bridge with ceramic covering cost? Thank you and 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! From what you have written, I assume you need a bridge consisting of four metal-ceramic crowns. The price of the bridge is: EUR 210 (crown) X 4 = EUR 840. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have a gap between my upper central incisors, and the central incisors are also larger than the other teeth. I would like to know whether correction with veneers would be possible and, if not, how much surgical procedures cost. Kind regards, Marko

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 central incisors (diastema) can be corrected conservatively (by build-up) or prosthetically (veneers or crowns). The price of one veneer is EUR 350. Surgical procedures (frenulectomy) are only required as preparation for orthodontic treatment (

Dear Sir/Madam! Payment in instalments is possible. Have a nice day!
