Visitor asks:

Hello, I would like to know what the waiting times are for my husband, who needs new artificial teeth in the upper front. He has had artificial teeth since childhood; only 4 remain and they are breaking... I would like (as a wife naturally does) for him to get this sorted out as soon as possible. I know that the waitin

Dear Sir/Madam. On Thursday, 4 August 2011, my son (9 years old) had an accident. During an ill-considered jump into shallow water, both maxillary central incisors were traumatically avulsed (PERMANENT TEETH!!!). Because it was already late in the afternoon and no dentist was working, I took him to the emergency depart

Dear Sir/Madam! In the case described, it is best to reimplant the teeth as soon as possible. You can perform reimplantation yourself at the scene; if you cannot do this, the teeth must be stored appropriately until professional help is available. Store them in saline solution, t

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have a deep pocket next to the second molar. The surrounding tissue was very inflamed. My dentist has now been treating it with medicated strips for 10 days, but it is not helping. He says no caries can be seen. I am still in a lot of pain. What other treatment is available instead of the strips?

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! Once the acute condition has been resolved (treatment with strips), it is most often necessary to perform scaling and root planing in the pocket and curettage of the soft tissues. If necessary, guided tissue regeneration of the periodontal tissues may also follow

Visitor asks:

Hello! I have problems with my teeth because they are very brittle and break easily. I take very good care of hygiene (brushing, flossing), which is also visible because they are very nicely white. The only problem is that they are brittle and I am afraid this could lead to more serious consequences. Is there any gel o

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 the teeth are brittle because of poor enamel or dentin structure (hypoplasia or aplasia of enamel or dentin), the pathological condition must be treated appropriately. You can contribute to the treatment yourself by using toothpastes that contain high concentra

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to ask about the possibility of removing complicatedly positioned wisdom teeth. The problem is that they are not growing outward in the 'expected' direction, but sideways into the other teeth, and from time to time I get an unpleasant sensation throughout the jaw. I am especially worried because, du

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! Wisdom teeth do not cause crowding, i.e. they do not push the other teeth in the mesial direction. We remove them if they cause problems in the form of inflammation of the periodontal tissues or if, by pressing on the root area of the second molar, they cause reso

Visitor asks:

Hello! Years ago I lost an upper front central incisor. Now I would like to have an implant with artificial bone. The crown would be ceramic. I would like to know how much everything would cost and whether payment in instalments is possible, and in how many instalments. Kind regards, Anita

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: - EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 150 (bone addition, if necessary) + EUR 420 (crown on the implant) = EUR 1,320. Payment in instalments is possible. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am interested in veneers. My upper right central incisor is slightly displaced toward the lateral incisor, and on the left lateral incisor I have had a filling for several years which becomes unattractively discolored. Is it possible to have veneers only on the central and lateral incisors? What is the price i

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 fabrication of veneers is not limited only to incisors. The goal of treatment is certainly a top-quality aesthetic restoration of the dentition. The price of one dental veneer (the price includes all procedures and materials) is EUR 350. We offer payment in in

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I need a complete denture. I would like to know how long I will be without teeth, because I work in contact with people. What is the waiting time if I am a self-paying patient, when could I come to you for the first examination, and how long would you need for the final fabrication? Thank you very much

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 you require immediate care, we can make an immediate denture on the same day that the remaining teeth are removed. You are therefore without teeth for only a few hours. The final denture is made in four visits (the time from extraction to the start of fabricati

Dear Sir/Madam, On August 4, 2010, my son collapsed and struck his mouth against a door, fracturing tooth 1.1 in the root. After emergency treatment at the Dental Clinic, we were advised to remove tooth 1.1, insert an implant and restore a new tooth. After an orthodontic examination, the orthodontist found that the low

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on the procedure you have undergone (examinations by specialists...), I believe I can only agree with the conclusion. However, to give my opinion on the method of treatment, I would need to examine the situation myself. Please call me by phone. Have a nice d
