Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, About 7 years ago my personal dentist treated the upper left first molar. About three years ago and then again this winter I had fairly major problems (sinus inflammation). I took antibiotics 3 times. Based on the X-ray and after opening the tooth, the dentist advised extraction. We then did that, and a

Dear Sir/Madam! Bone-regenerative procedures are routine practice today. Replacing bone mass in the paranasal sinus is probably the most frequently used method. There are certainly cases that remain unsolvable even in the described way, but they are rare. To answer your specific

My partner's teeth are in very poor condition (the teeth are black, some are missing, there are black spots along the sides, etc.). He is only 37 years old and says he is very afraid of the dentist; finances are also a problem. I wanted to encourage him to make what I believe is an urgently needed visit to a dentist, b

Dear Sir/Madam! The condition itself is not transmitted to your teeth. However, when reviewing studies, we can see that bacterial flora (which in a person with numerous carious processes and periodontal disease is substantially different from that of a healthy person) can be tran

Visitor asks:

My lower central incisor has broken off. I would like to know what the possible solutions are, how quickly this could be done and what the price is. Thank you for your answer and kind regards, Urška

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 tooth has broken in the area of the tooth neck, the broken dental crown is replaced with an artificial crown attached to the root with a root anchor (post). If the tooth has not yet undergone root canal treatment, the root canal must first be prepared (root

Visitor asks:

Kind regards! For about a week I have been having terrible pain in my gums; the feeling is frightening. In the last few days this severe pain has also spread to both temples, around the ears and even down the neck. Today I went to the emergency dentist, who did nothing and simply sent me away, saying that my personal d

Dear Sir/Madam! Without additional diagnostic procedures (X-ray..) that are contraindicated because of pregnancy, it would be very difficult for me to answer your question. I might speculate and say that tartar is probably not the cause of your pain. The cause is most likely path

Visitor asks:

Dear dentist, I am writing to you because I am very dissatisfied. In a short time I have already changed two dentures, and a third replacement is supposedly to follow, because I also have problems with the second denture. I will describe the events in order: In September 2010 my dentist extracted my upper teeth because

Dear Sir/Madam! I will not get involved in the issue of payments and relationships between patients and therapists. In any case, problems with poor fit and poor stability of a denture follow the condition after tooth extraction. Six months after tooth extraction we can expect the

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! Last year my dentist drew my attention to a hard lump above the upper left central incisor and referred me to a specialist, who performed an apicoectomy and removed a cyst. At the same time he also inserted a build-up for a bridge. After healing, my dentist fitted a new bridge (3 front teeth) and a remo

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! Given the treatment history of the tooth in question, I believe that this is the appearance of a fistula or swelling and not a polyp. It will keep appearing as long as chronic inflammation is present in the area of the apex of the apicoectomized tooth, which occas

Visitor asks:

Hello, I have always wanted veneers, and since I noticed that your price list is more affordable, I would like to know how one needs to prepare for this procedure. I read somewhere that the teeth must be completely healthy. Would this mean that I would also have to replace my existing "fillings"? Would it be aesthetica

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 veneer requires a relatively firm and well-preserved substrate for bonding. A dental crown that does not have such a substrate (extensive fillings, fractures...) is better treated with a conventional artificial crown, which also restores the tooth functionally a

Visitor asks:

Hello! According to my dentist, my upper central incisor will fall out within one month. I would like to know the approximate price for placing an implant and, of course, your opinion on what you recommend (bridge or implant)? Thank you very much in advance for your answer and, of course, for your time! Kind regards, B

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 neighbouring teeth are intact, I definitely recommend a solution with an implant. We avoid unnecessary grinding of the neighbouring teeth and thereby reduce the likelihood of complications. Price: EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on implant) = EUR 1170. H

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! My dentist extracted a tooth 5 days ago, the lower first molar. She was extracting it for at least half an hour, as I apparently have strong roots. I had the tooth extracted because I am going to have fixed orthodontic braces. The procedure was difficult. I am taking painkillers, which help a lot, but w

Dear Sir/Madam! Pain is a subjectively determined sign and is therefore very difficult to comment on. In principle, we can say that there should not be severe pain after the procedure. Cooling the wound and analgesics certainly alleviate the condition. Systemic antibiotics are re
