Dear Sir/Madam! My upper right canine never erupted. My dentist removed the deciduous one when I was 21. I had never had any problems with it, but because I was afraid of having a small cavity repaired on that tooth, I asked the dentist to extract it. The permanent tooth never came out afterwards. There is now a gap in that place. I would like to know whether surgical placement of the missing tooth is possible, since the tooth is clearly visible on the X-ray but lies horizontally toward teeth 1 and 2. Secondly, does ZZZS cover any of the costs related to my dentist “filling” the missing gap in my mouth, which is very bothersome? I would be very grateful for your answer. Kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!In the case you describe, we usually choose between the following treatment procedures:-the permanent canine can be slowly pulled out of the bone with an orthodontic appliance and moved into the desired position.-the permanent canine is removed and a dental implant is placed later.-the permanent canine is removed or left in its location and a bridge is made (which involves preparing the adjacent teeth). The choice among these methods depends on the position of the permanent canine in the bone, the condition of the adjacent teeth and, above all, the patient's willingness to accept the individual options.Have a nice day!

Hello! I would like to know whether it is possible to make a bridge containing some all-ceramic (AC) and some metal-ceramic (MC) units. I am also interested in the approximate price of an upper bridge where on one side teeth 4, 5 and 6 are missing (3AC, 4AC, 5MC, 6MC, 7MC), and on the other side tooth 5 is missing (4AC, 5MC, 6MC). I have heard that after extraction it is good to wait at least three months before deciding on a bridge; is that true? If I make an appointment for prosthetic treatment as a private-paying patient, I would also like to know the waiting time and the number of visits needed for such a procedure. Kind regards, and compliments for taking the time to answer these questions, Nina

Dear Sir/Madam!We have not yet made a combined bridge of this type in our practice. We can make it entirely all-ceramic or entirely metal-ceramic. The price of a metal-ceramic crown or pontic is EUR 210, while an all-ceramic crown or pontic costs EUR 350 (zirconia). How long after filling we load a tooth or do not load it depends on the clinician's judgment, and an X-ray will usually also be needed to answer this question.The waiting time in our private practice is approximately one month. We need two to three visits to make bridges. We can make everything at once or separately.Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have the following question. I have an implant in the lower left, in the position of the first molar, which was placed abroad about four years ago. Because the screw has loosened, the tooth on the implant is now mobile and this bothers me quite a lot. I would like to know whether you can repair this o

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I believe that the screw securing the abutment in the implant has most likely loosened. The problem can be corrected, but in most cases we have to destroy the existing crown. The price of a new crown on an implant is EUR 420 if it i

Visitor asks:

Good day, Doctor! Two months ago you made me a partial upper denture. Now I have noticed something with the pronunciation of the letters S and T. Will this settle down, or can something else still be done? Thank you for your answer.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Speech disturbances are very difficult to predict when making new fixed or removable prosthetic replacements. If the initial disturbance does not disappear, we can try changing the shape of those parts of the denture that are important for the pronunciation of par

Dear Mr Rotar, I am 32 years old and I sincerely wish to find a good dentist who would repair my teeth. Because of my previous experiences, I am panic-stricken by dentists, like many people.

Visitor asks:

A month ago my dentist opened a tooth because of pain. Since my dentist is on vacation until mid-August, the tooth is still open today. Pus is still draining from the tooth, and the gum hurts when pressed near the end of the root. In my opinion the pus should already have stopped draining. I would like to know after ho

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! In principle, drainage of purulent discharge should stop within a few days at the latest. Why it has persisted for so long could only be answered after examining a local or panoramic X-ray. Have a nice day!

Hi. I have three teeth that need fixing. One already hurts a lot, and I would like to know whether it is possible anywhere to have this done without paying (through insurance), because unfortunately I cannot afford a paid procedure. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam! It is very difficult to answer your question precisely, because from what you have written I cannot determine what type of treatment is needed. Dental treatment and fillings are fully covered by the health insurance. The price of prosthetic treatment depends on th

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 28 years old and have always had rather poor teeth despite regular brushing. During pregnancy the condition worsened and I received two artificial restorations on teeth: the upper left second premolar, which is completely fine, and the lower left first molar, which has started to hurt. I have not been to a

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on the information given, it is very difficult to infer the cause of the pain. I advise you to have an X-ray taken and show it to the nearest dentist. That dentist will certainly know how to solve the problem. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello, your answers have "encouraged" me to ask a few questions myself. I am 64 years old and still have my own teeth (4 are already missing), but unfortunately I also have progressive periodontal disease, untreated. In the upper jaw I noticed that where a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth have tilted sideways. O

Dear Sir/Madam! I can answer your question only after examining a panoramic X-ray and performing a clinical examination. You can make an appointment for the X-ray by calling 5300660. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

A 3D X-ray shows that tooth 5 has only one root canal filled; the other was not filled. The tooth was treated approximately 25 years ago. Because of occasional pain in this tooth, my dentist advised opening the tooth, which is covered with a zirconia-ceramic crown. What is the price at your practice for treating, filli

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam! One treatment session at our practice costs 50 EUR. Usually two to three sessions are required for the desired therapy; in the case of resistant infections, sometimes four. The price includes all root canal treatment procedures leading to the desired result: an X-
