Kind regards, I am 22 years old and have not visited a dentist for many years. My oral hygiene has not been the best either, and my smile and self-confidence reflect this. One upper central incisor was half chipped years ago and was replaced with some tooth-colored material or filling. Today that filling is visibly discolored and the gap between the filling and tooth is becoming dark brownish. The other central incisor is in the early stage of decay; the decay looks as if I had forgotten to clean food from between the two central incisors. The right lateral incisor is cracked from the back and appears greenish-blue from the front; the left lateral incisor is similar. If it helps, this decay has spread over the course of one year. I would like to know what could be done, how long it would take, and of course I would appreciate an approximate price. Thank you for your answer and have a nice day.

Dear Sir/Madam!If the defects are not too extensive, the incisors can be restored with composite fillings. The price of a filling depends on the number of tooth surfaces covered by the filling (on average around EUR 50 per filling; see price list). In this way, the teeth can be restored in one session.If the defects are too extensive, we recommend dental crowns. The teeth can be restored in two to three sessions provided that more extensive preparatory procedures are not required (root-canal treatments, extractions...). Price:-EUR 210 (metal-ceramic) X 4 = EUR 840.-EUR 350 (all-ceramic) X 4 = EUR 1,400.Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam, I would need 2 dental implants: the upper left second premolar and the lower right first molar. The second premolar bothers me in particular, as the gap is visible when I smile. The other teeth are in order; my next check-up is in a year and everything is fine. The main problem is that I am terribly afraid of the implant because of possible complications. My dentist is encouraging me to do it so that the other teeth do not move. Can you tell me what complications could occur in my particular situation, and whether there is another, less complicated method to replace at least the second premolar? I am also interested in the price; I think that together with the crown it is somewhere around €1,300. Thank you very much and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!In principle there are very few complications with implant placement. Fear of pain during or after the procedure is completely unnecessary. The procedure takes approximately half an hour. In the lower jaw, injury to the mandibular nerve may occur. In the upper jaw in the second-premolar region, the most common problem is the amount of bone and the size of the maxillary sinus. These problems can always be avoided. Ten-year survival of a dental implant is more than 90%. Price:-EUR 750 (implant) + EUR 420 (crown on the implant) = EUR 1,170.Have a nice day!

Hello! I would like to know what options there are for replacing the upper first and second premolars. One option is an implant, but it is financially out of reach for me. Would a bridge be an option regardless of the condition of the roots, or are there particular factors that matter? What is the price of this treatme

Dear Sir/Madam! My teeth are in a catastrophic condition. In the front part of my lower jaw I have only 4 crowned teeth left, which have often been painful lately and are now also loose.

Dear Sir/Madam! The range of possible solutions is so broad that, based on what you have written, it would be very difficult to suggest an appropriate one. An X-ray and a clinical examination are required. You can make an appointment by phone (04/5300660). Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a problem with my lower right first molar.

Dear Sir/Madam! Nerve injury is a complication of tooth extraction in the lower jaw. It is not the result of unprofessional work, and believe me, the therapist is far from indifferent when this occurs. Regeneration is unfortunately long-lasting and it is not possible to predict e

Dear Sir/Madam,
in primary school my upper first molar was treated and devitalized. I had no problems with it until another dentist in secondary school decided to replace the filling. Since then I have had problems with this tooth every year. First it started hurting, they placed and changed medication, took X-rays and closed the tooth again. The following year it started hurting again and the same story repeated. Almost every year the same. One year ago (I am now 22) it started happening even more often. Practically the whole year, almost every month, I was at the dentist with severe pain. She treated the tooth and within no more than a month I was back at her door, usually with a very swollen face. At the last examination I therefore asked the dentist to extract the tooth because I could no longer tolerate the pain. She looked at me in surprise and asked whether I really wanted that, since then the tooth would be gone. Of course I do not want that, but I cannot endure the pain indefinitely either. Afterwards I wondered whether I had made the right decision. I have read that you write a lot about teeth that may be a focus of bacteria and that sometimes there is no other option than extraction. But in my case I myself expressed the wish to have the tooth removed. The dentist even told me that if I changed my mind they could start treating it again. I do not know whether it makes sense to treat the tooth, since treatment has already failed so many times. I had already been scheduled for the extraction, but I happened to be ill at that time, so they gave me another appointment half a year later. Now this tooth has been open for almost a year and for the first time I have absolutely no problems with it. I would also like to know whether it often happens that upper teeth move on their own when one tooth is extracted. Both my mother and a friend had the second molar move into the place of the first molar within two years, and now they no longer have a gap.
Kind regards and thank you in advance for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! To decide about extracting the tooth, I would need to see X-rays (a local film and a panoramic radiograph). If the X-ray shows no pathological changes in the periapical periodontal tissues and the root-canal fillings are radiographically satisfactory, but the toot
