Dear Sir/Madam!
Local signs (pain, swelling, bleeding from the wound...) can certainly be closely related to the procedure and will also subside. Elevated body temperature and swollen, painful local lymph nodes can also occur as complications of an extraction (with systemic signs, we recommend taking an antibiotic). Kidney problems should not be directly related to the procedure, although indirectly, due to stress and reduced resistance, problems can also appear in other organ systems.

I am 36 years old. I have had periodontal disease for more than five years (upper and lower front teeth). Despite regular visits to the dentist every six months, when all hidden areas around the gums are cleaned, and despite regular daily cleaning, the condition is not improving. I would like to know whether it would be better to remove the teeth affected by periodontal disease and place a high-quality fixed prosthesis. I should add that I am also not satisfied with my smile, not to mention the bad breath that appears after some time. My teeth are clean and white, but they are not nicely aligned. I would like to know whether the gums can heal properly after the teeth are removed, how much prosthetic treatment for the upper and lower front teeth costs, how long such a procedure takes, what the steps are, whether the procedure affects everyday life and, of course, what the approximate price is. Thank you very much for your answer and I hope you can help me, because I have really become a little discouraged about my teeth.
Kind regards,
Marko

Dear Sir/Madam!
The decision on how radical the procedure should be depends primarily on the patient's wishes. Professional assessments and prognoses regarding the rate of progression of periodontal disease, which also determine the lifespan of fixed or removable prosthetic restorations anchored to the remaining teeth, are very unrewarding and sometimes even impossible. Whether a prosthetic restoration replacing all lost teeth will be satisfactory is again a question of how each individual perceives the problem. If you decide to retain dentures with dental implants, the probability of success is very high. Given the wide range of prosthetic and implant treatment options, you would need to visit the practice for a cost estimate, where we would take an X-ray and perform a clinical examination.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am 24 years old and have a 3 mm gap between the two front incisors in the upper jaw.
While reading through your answers, I found two possible "solutions". First, you mention building up the teeth with composite material used for white fillings, or dental crowns or aesthetic veneers as a more durable solution. I have some doubts about this method, since my two central incisors are already slightly larger than the neighboring teeth. Secondly, I found the option of a frenulotomy. I would like to know which option is more appropriate; in any case, I am looking for a longer-lasting solution. I would also be satisfied with only a partial reduction of the gap.
Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!
There are several ways to repair the problem you describe:
-restoration again with a filling (build-up). -placement of a crown (the most common solution in the case of more extensive damage to the crown). Price: EUR 210 (metal-ceramic), EUR 350 (all-ceramic; zirconia). If the entire dental crown is missing, an additional post build-up is required.
We will register new patients in the middle of next year. In that case, the fillings are covered by ZZZS.

Dear Sir/Madam! I am 38 years old and would like to ask the following. My front incisors have already been "repaired/built up" several times, and now the left one has chipped slightly. I would like to have new ones and would like to know whether an implant or a bridge would be better. The teeth next to the incisors are quite good, there is no pain; I would simply like to improve the appearance and my smile. I will pay for this service myself, but I also have a few minor defects (a filling or two), so I would like to know whether further services can be provided under the concession/public insurance. How soon could I get an appointment and, of course, what is the approximate price for restoring the incisors?

Based on what you have written, I believe you do not need dental implants or bridges, as the roots of the teeth mentioned should be healthy or at least adequately treated. If the problem is fracture of the dental crown, this can be restored by making an artificial crown or cap. This treatment provides a high-quality aesthetic and functional restoration with a five-year guarantee. Price: 210 EUR (metal-ceramic crown) 350 EUR (all-ceramic Zircon crown). We can begin the treatment in approximately one month. Please make an appointment by telephone.

Dear Sir/Madam!
The gap created after extraction of both central incisors and possibly also the lateral incisors can be restored in two ways: - making a bridge, which would therefore comprise four or six crowns. The price of an individual crown is 210 EUR (metal-ceramic) or 350 EUR (all-ceramic). - placement of implants; regardless of the size of the gap, we would place two implants. The price of each is 750 EUR (1000 EUR if artificial bone needs to be added). The price of a crown on an implant is 420 EUR, and an intermediate pontic (if it is a bridge) is 210 EUR. The prices include all procedures from the beginning to the final result.

Dear Sir/Madam,
about two years ago my upper first molar started to hurt. My dentist removed the old filling and made a new one. The tooth continued to hurt — I felt the pain most at the top of the tooth (not at the gum). I went back to the dentist, who only told me that the filling was quite large (deep) and that the pain would subside over time. Since that did not happen, I went to him again, but the answer was the same. I went to another dentist, who took a panoramic X-ray and discovered inflammation. He began root canal treatment. After the treatment was completed (he treated three roots), I was still in pain and again received the answer that the pain would subside. But it did not. I went to a third dentist, who under a microscope discovered two more (untreated) roots. He treated those as well and the tooth no longer hurt, but I could still somehow feel it (I know this may sound strange), for example when I pressed on it I could somehow feel it in the gum. Later the tooth itself no longer hurt either, but since then (for 6 months) the gum above the tooth has been tender to the touch (about 1 cm from the end of the tooth). It hurts quite a lot when I press it with a finger and is also sensitive when I brush my teeth. The dentist tells me that he has done everything that could be done and that he has treated all the roots. Since I no longer know what to do or whom to turn to, I would kindly ask for your opinion as to what could be causing my problems. Thank you very much,

Dear Sir/Madam!
The pain you describe (on pressure on the bone above the tooth) is characteristic of inflammation around the root tip. Theoretically, treatment of the problem described is similar to what has been done so far. Given that several people have already tried to deal with this particular problem, I can suggest root-end surgery (apicoectomy), which, however, will be difficult to perform because of the type of tooth. The reliability of the procedure is relatively low (70%), but this is probably the option before extracting the tooth.
