Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, In the front of my lower jaw I have only 5 teeth left and none at the back. I have severe periodontal disease and high blood pressure, so I have absolutely no conditions for implants. Of the 5 teeth, the middle three are mobile — one very much and two slightly — while 2, one on each side, are firm and h

Dear Sir/Madam! The reasons you have listed are not contraindications to implant placement. Even with high blood pressure and periodontal disease, implants can be placed very successfully. The two firm teeth in the lower jaw (I assume they are the canines) are certainly worth kee

Visitor asks:

I went to a dentist who recommended dental implants. All well and good, except that I nearly fainted when I heard the price. Her estimate was EUR 24,000.00. Since this is simply too much for me (I can pay up to approximately EUR 5,000.00), what do you advise? A complete denture perhaps? Thank you 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! The price of treatment depends on the number of implants and the type of prosthetic restoration supported by the implants. There are different price levels: from a denture supported by two implants (roughly the most basic treatment programme for an edentulous jaw)

Visitor asks:

Hello, First of all, I should say that I am one of those patients who experiences severe anxiety before visiting the dentist (to such an extent that the local anesthetic only starts working when I have forgotten that I even visited the dental office). I would like to know whether it is possible to have my teeth treated

Dear Sir/Madam! If the tooth in question shows no periapical changes on the X-ray (pathological process around the root apex), the tooth does not need to undergo root-canal treatment (filling) again before definitive restoration with a post and crown. For the procedure itself, we

Visitor asks:

Hello. I have a question regarding the price of services and how long it would take to have my teeth repaired. I have problems with the upper central incisor as well as the upper lateral incisor. There is practically no central incisor left, only the root in the gum, while the lateral incisor has a cavity on the back.

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, it is difficult to answer what type of treatment would be suitable for the stated problem. If we restore the central incisor with a dental crown and the lateral incisor with a filling, the price is as follows: crown: 210 EUR (metal-

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, Since my dentist does not perform surgery, I came across your practice while searching online. I am 61 years old, healthy, and I would like to have my teeth examined and restored. In the upper jaw at the back I have bridges; in the lower jaw on the left I have only my four front teeth. On the lower righ

Dear Lidija! The price of an implant is EUR 750, or up to EUR 1,000 if artificial bone material needs to be added during implantation. If a larger number of implants is required, we can agree on an individual discount. The examination, consultation and X-ray are included in the p

Visitor asks:

HELLO. MY UPPER LEFT LATERAL INCISOR SUDDENLY STARTED TO HURT VERY BADLY, SO THE TOOTH WAS OPENED, BUT IT COULD NOT BE SAVED AND WAS LATER EXTRACTED. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS MISSING TOOTH COULD BE REPLACED. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT AN IMPLANT, BUT THE SITUATION IS THAT I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CENTRAL AND LA

Dear Sir/Madam! You have two fixed prosthodontic options available: -a conventional bridge (if the neighboring teeth are severely damaged, this is the first-choice treatment) -an implant (if the neighboring teeth are intact and healthy). For a precise answer, I suggest that we pe

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam!! In 2004 I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed at oral surgery in Celje—Dr Žgank—but I still feel pain in the lower left area!!! Despite several visits to oral surgery in Celje and Ljubljana, nobody wants to open the area to see whether a nerve may have been compressed! My dentist says it is almost c

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! Considering that the tooth was extracted several years ago and you still feel pain, I believe this is neuralgic pain. Whether the problem is the result of nerve injury or not is impossible to say. Neuralgia is very difficult to treat and treatment is often unsucce

Visitor asks:

Hello! For three years I have had problems with painful joints. Despite examinations, no specialist has found the cause. For 35 years I had a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and no cause was found. Since a diseased tooth was removed, my sedimentation rate has been normal. Could a damaged or non-vital tooth be the c

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! Our profession does not have a way of proving links between foci in the mouth and focal diseases elsewhere in the body. Theoretically, every non-vital tooth can be a focus. Based on the information you have provided, one could certainly infer a certain connection

How much does it cost to replace all teeth with implants? Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam! We can tell you the price of an individual implant (EUR 750, or EUR 1,000 if bone augmentation is required) and of an individual tooth on an implant (EUR 420). Pontic units that are not seated directly on an implant cost EUR 210. For an exact calculation, we would

I would also like to mention that I would need implants at the upper left 5 and lower right 6. I would also like to know the price for this procedure. Kind regards TAMARA KOPER
