Visitor asks:

Hello! I am missing teeth number 4 and 5 in the upper jaw; they were recently extracted. Because the gap is visible when I smile broadly, it bothers me, but I would not like either a bridge or an implant. I would like to know whether there is a removable mini-denture that I could place in the area of the missing teeth

Dear Sir/Madam! We can help you by making a removable replacement (a small temporary denture, locally called a "frog"). This type of replacement is intended for temporary restorations, but at your request you can also wear it for a longer period. It is not recommended as a perman

Visitor asks:

Hello, I wear a removable appliance for my lower teeth because they are not completely straight. I would like to know whether such an appliance also corrects an asymmetrical jaw. If I move my lower teeth forward so that they are in the same plane as the upper teeth, you can see that my lower jaw is not level but slopes

Dear Sir/Madam! Based on what you have written, I believe you have a unilateral open bite. This type of malocclusion is difficult to correct. I do not have enough information to answer your question. Please call us. Have a nice day!

Dear Sir/Madam! I have had a complete denture for 10 years and I would like to know whether you could make me a new one, because the one I wear seems too small to me; as I say, I keep biting on the teeth. My dentist is ill and no longer works. I was a private-paying patient. I would now like to know whether I have to p

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 a conventional complete denture is EUR 500. ZZZS covers the cost of making it in full if you are registered with a dentist and the waiting period for making such a denture has elapsed. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello! My father is 81 years old and has major dental problems. All his teeth are loose, he has great difficulty eating, and he does not have a regular dentist. He has a bridge in both the upper and lower jaw. I would like to know whether there is any possibility for him to come to you for a private examination. Kind r

Visitor asks:

Hi! I am interested in porcelain veneers. I would like to have them placed on both upper central and lateral incisors because these teeth have fillings and the color difference is visible. Can a small zirconia crystal also be bonded onto a veneer later on? Is it possible that such a crystal could damage the porcelain?

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! Porcelain veneers are among the more demanding fixed prosthetic procedures and have a relatively narrow indication. The reason for choosing this treatment is subjective (the desire for a better appearance...). The procedure on the teeth is less radical than making

Visitor asks:

Hello! About two months ago my upper second premolar broke. My dentist gave me a referral to a dental prosthodontist, so I went to the dental clinic, but there they told me that my own dentist could take care of it. I went back to my dentist, but he does not want to do it. Could you tell me what I should do, what optio

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! Based on what you have written, I believe the tooth should be restored with a root post and a conventional crown. You can choose the type of crown and post yourself. Price: - EUR 210 (metal-ceramic) - EUR 350 (all-ceramic). The technician needs approximately one w

Visitor asks:

Hello, I still have an upper baby canine at my age, but it will now be extracted because it is no longer healthy and is loose. My dentist suggested an implant. I have to decide between a cheaper, more aesthetic option costing 600–700 euros and a more durable solution costing 1200 euros. I do not understand what the dif

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 difference should not be in durability: both the implant and the bridge should be permanent solutions. Both solutions are very aesthetic, although in the case of a bridge construction we also place crowns on the neighboring teeth and can therefore alter them a

Visitor asks:

GOOD DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE FOLLOWING. I SEVERELY DAMAGED MY TEETH THROUGH BRUXISM AND ACID REFLUX, SO THE MOLARS BROKE OFF ON ONE SIDE. I WENT FOR AN EXAMINATION AND THEY PREPARED THE TEETH. I WANTED ALL-CERAMIC CROWNS, BUT THEY PREPARED THEM INCORRECTLY FOR METAL-CERAMIC CROWNS. I THEN DECIDED THAT, SINCE IT WA

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! Based on what you have written, I believe inflammation of the dental pulps has developed in the teeth mentioned. From the type of pain you describe, I conclude that the condition is irreversible and requires root canal treatment; that is, removal of the pulp (with

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am 50 years old and have survived a heart attack. I have a stent in an artery to keep it widened. I would like to know whether implants would be harmful to my health. Kind regards.

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! Dental implants do not represent an additional health risk in your case. Additional caution is required during the surgical procedure itself, as you are continuously taking medication that prevents blood clotting. You need to be appropriately prepared before the p

Visitor asks:

I would like to know about these dental crowns for 4 teeth. And what is the price? Is tooth whitening better?

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! Crowns are a prosthetic treatment that replace or simply alter the original dental crown. The procedure is relatively radical because the existing crown of the tooth (intact or damaged) must be prepared into a conical shape onto which laboratory-made crowns are bo
