Dear Sir/Madam, For some time now, because I myself have recently had quite a few problems with my teeth, I have been reading your kind answers to various questions about dental treatment. I am 43 years old. At present I have considerable problems with the teeth in my upper jaw, most of which are covered by fixed restorations with porcelain crowns. My dentist had to remove one bridge two years ago because of a granuloma, leaving a gap there. The current examination/panoramic X-ray shows a new granuloma and another two poor roots in the upper jaw. Part of the bridges will have to be removed and teeth extracted (teeth on the left and right sides of the jaw), and the dentist determined that a partial denture plus up to 6 crowns on both sides of the jaw will be necessary, connected across the palate (so I would feel it on both sides of the palate). This worries me quite a lot, because I was very satisfied with the fixed restorations and I am afraid of a removable denture. I have had the crowns for 9 years. I therefore remembered your answers about implants and would be very interested in what possibilities I might have, approximately how many implants I would need, information about the price including crowns, etc. It would not be necessary to remove all the bridges. Could I book a first examination at your practice (with the concession/public service I understand the waiting time is up to 6 months), because the matter is fairly urgent (granuloma and poor roots, i.e. 3 teeth in poor condition). My dentist has also set the date 20.01.2011 for the beginning of the procedures. The lower jaw will also need treatment, but at present treatment of the upper jaw is certainly more urgent because of the diseased teeth. Thank you very much for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!You can certainly make an appointment for an examination at our practice (by telephone on 04/5300660), because only after an examination and X-ray will we be able to give you an exact quotation and a treatment timeframe. You may be able to estimate the price range of a solution yourself from the following figures:EUR 750 (implant without added artificial bone), EUR 420 (crown on implant), EUR 210 pontic (crown between two supports; implants), EUR 210 (crown on tooth), EUR 900 (implant with addition of artificial bone).Have a nice day!

Dentist - Your questions

Visitor asks:

Hello, I am getting fixed braces in January. I noticed caries on my lower back molar. My dental check-up is only after the braces have been fitted. Can the tooth be filled once I already have fixed braces, or should I rather go to a private dentist and have it treated before the braces are fitted? Thank you in advance

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! In principle, a filling can also be made once the braces are already in place, but it is more difficult. I recommend treating the caries before the braces are fitted. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam. I am 47 years old and have a problem with my upper front teeth, which are chipping. I have small fillings on almost all of them, some more visible than others. This bothers me greatly from an aesthetic point of view. I would like to know whether it is sensible or possible to have the front teeth covered

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Aesthetic veneers are a relatively delicate fixed-prosthetic restoration and most often require a firm and healthy tooth substrate. If the fillings are small and do not involve key areas of the dental crown, fabrication is of course possible. The procedure is less

Hello!! I am a young man and my teeth are badly damaged; I have several cavities and a chipped tooth. I would like to know whether the procedures are painful, and if so, whether they can be done in such a way that I would not feel any pain because I am very afraid of the dentist!!!!! I would also like to know whether y

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! With the use of local anesthetics, the procedures are painless. Nevertheless, dental treatment can still be stressful and unpleasant for some individuals. We can also prepare you for this with sedative medication. Several procedures can be performed in one session

Hello! I am 21 years old and have very bad teeth, including a few cavities, and I would like to know whether the procedures hurt because I am very afraid of the dentist.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Procedures are performed under local anesthesia and are therefore painless. Several services can be carried out in one session, depending on how long you are able to cooperate during the procedure. The price of a crown is 210 EUR (metal-ceramic), 350 EUR (Zircon c

Visitor asks:

Hello. In my lower jaw, on the left I am missing the second and third molars, and on the right the first, second and third molars. My wife is urging me to get a partial denture. I would like to know how well that works and how much it costs. Kind regards.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! I believe that with the dental status you describe you would not wear a removable denture because you do not actually need one (too few teeth are missing). The best solution for the described situation is a fixed prosthetic one (replacement of the missing first mo

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, after one year of unsuccessful root canal treatment of my upper left second premolar, my dentist decided on an apicoectomy because, in his opinion, there is no other solution. I have a full bridge/crown restoration on the upper teeth. After the first apicoectomy, during which the root tip was removed, p

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I believe the only possible solution is removal of the tooth. The tooth can be replaced with a conventional fixed prosthetic bridge or, even better, with a dental implant. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, considering that I have been advised to get an upper denture, but even at the age of 60 I am not enthusiastic about this, I would like to know whether I can come to you for an examination and consultation? Have a nice day, Tone

Visitor asks:

Hello. I am a 22-year-old woman and several years ago I chipped off half of my upper front tooth (central incisor). At the moment the missing half has been replaced by an artificial part that is simply bonded to my tooth. I am considering a more permanent solution and would like to know whether implantation is the most

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! If the root portion of the tooth is without abnormalities and the periapical bone area shows no changes on an X-ray, it is best to keep the tooth and restore the crown portion with an artificial dental crown. An implant is an option when the tooth has to be remove

Visitor asks:

Hello. A wisdom tooth is emerging through the gum on the lower right side. It was supposedly never meant to erupt because, based on a panoramic X-ray (a few years ago), my dentist found that there was no room for it. Now it hurts and there is already a little pus. Today she cleaned the opening and placed a strip. The t

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! I could answer your question after reviewing an X-ray (panoramic radiograph) and performing a clinical examination. The procedure has no effect on breastfeeding! Have a nice day!
