Visitor asks:

Hello, my 12-year-old son has had a permanent lower first molar extracted. It was treated for 1.5 years, but without success. We would like to know about the possibility of placing an implant or a bridge—whether these treatments are available on referral (free of charge) or what the approximate prices are. Thank you fo

Dear Sir/Madam! If the anatomical and other conditions allow implantation, it can certainly be performed. The insurance company does not cover this procedure. Price: -EUR 750 (implant) -EUR 420 (crown on the implant) -total: EUR 1,170. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I am very concerned about my three upper left teeth, where the wisdom tooth is also located. The gums, or saliva around these teeth, have had a very strong unpleasant smell for several months (I do not notice any discharge), and the gum in this area also bleeds frequently. However, despite intensive oral hygiene

Dear Sir/Madam! I certainly need to perform a clinical examination and then, if necessary, an X-ray. In this way we can assess the condition of the periodontal tissues and decide on treatment. Based on what you have written, I believe this is inflammation of the periodontal tissu

Visitor asks:

I am 44 years old. In the upper left jaw I am missing 6 teeth (I only have the central incisor). The right side is restored and arranged with a bridge. So on the left side I have a removable denture filling the gap. I would like to know whether it is possible to place implants on the left side (how many) and put a fixe

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I kindly ask for an answer: 1. do you accept new patients through health insurance, 2.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know what you advise when the lower jaw is left without teeth. At present my removable denture is still supported by four teeth, which need to be removed. I know implants are needed, but I would like your opinion: do you recommend two or more implants? When are the implants placed — imme

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! For better stability of a removable prosthetic restoration (denture), we need at least two implants (Price: 500 EUR — denture + 1500 EUR — two implants = 2000 EUR). A better effect is achieved with four implants (total price 3710 EUR: four implants + denture with

Visitor asks:

Hello! I would like to know how long one has to wait with you for the first, informational examination to assess the condition of the teeth and gums and prepare a treatment plan (gum treatment and prosthetics or implantation). Is it also six months? And after the examination, how long does it take before you actually 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! For the first examination (most often together with a panoramic X-ray) we schedule patients relatively quickly: within one to two weeks. If treatment (prosthetics, implantology) is not very urgent, we schedule the patient in approximately a month and a half. If yo

Visitor asks:

I am currently undergoing treatment for periodontal disease. I began noticing the gums receding from the teeth after about a week of using an interdental brush (around the lower left and right central/lateral incisors and canines), which my dentist recommended. Could the interdental brush have caused 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! The use of an interdental brush certainly did not cause the gum recession. The advice was appropriate; use probably began somewhat too late, so the recession is a consequence of reduced gingival edema that had persisted because of ongoing inflammation. The inflamm

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, Because of periodontitis I have damaged gums in the area of the lower central incisors. The left central incisor is already disturbingly loose, and my dentist mentioned the possibility of an implant since the lateral incisors are healthy. I would like to know approximately how much this costs and what t

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 believe you would like to replace the lost lower central incisor with a dental implant. Price: EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on implant); total: EUR 1170. We can schedule the procedure in approximately one month. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I am 32 years old. For about 20 years I have had crowns on metal posts on my two lower central incisors. The left crown has become dark near the gum and a small hole has developed on the inner side, higher up on the tooth; on the right tooth a small hole has developed on the outer side (in the upper part of the

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam! I have a question. I am missing a central incisor, and the bone above it is already quite badly "eaten away". I would like to know how much the bone augmentation would cost, or rather the entire procedure afterward. Thank you in advance for your answer.

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 mean implant treatment, bone substitutes can be added to the area of lost bone and a dental implant can be placed. The entire procedure is somewhat longer because the osteointegration period is prolonged due to poor primary stability of the implant. The imp
