Franko Bajc

Ljubljana, Slovenia

Dr. Hočevar will be on stage with his patient

Franko Bajc, a 28 year old young man from Ajdovščina started his sports career at the age of 4 as an alpine skier. He grew up on horseback and skis. After 12 years of professional sport he gave up skiing and set out on a mission to do it all. He started studying at the Faculty of Sport and taking on different challenges. That’s when he started his media career, in 2016 by taking part in the reality show Survivor. Since then, most people know him as a reality show participant. He has also participated in TV shows like The Farm, Dancing Stars, Exathlon and the boxing match that has had the most YouTube streams in Slovenia. He was the first Slovenian to win two reality owls. He is currently working as a stuntman, actor and a TV presenter, influencer and horse trainer.

 

At the age of 17, he misjudged a situation while playing sports and fractured 4 upper incisors. Since then he has visited many dentists who solved the problem by performing 3 root canal treatments and placed crowns. Later on apicoectomies were also performed. This did not solve the problem as he had to take antibiotics at least once a year because of constant pain and infection. He decided to put an end to this and had all 4 upper front teeth extracted at Center Hočevar and replaced them immediately with 4 ceramic implants. At the same time, they also removed 2 infected molars and replaced them with ceramic implants as well. He is now the proud owner of Swiss Dental Solutions ceramic implants, which were fitted at the Center Hočevar without any complications or pain
