Tooth Filling and Caries Treatment in Chișinău
We offer tooth filling and caries treatment: we remove the damaged tissue and restore the tooth so that it looks natural and works as it should, keeping as much healthy tooth tissue as possible.
Caries can develop gradually and cause no clear pain for a long time, so it is important to find the problem before the damage gets deep.
What is caries
Caries is damage to the hard tissues of the tooth in which the enamel and then the dentin (the layer under the enamel) are gradually destroyed.
In the early stages caries may hardly bother you. As the damage deepens, sensitivity to cold, hot and sweet appears, and then pain may follow.
If the disease reaches the deep layers of dentin, deep caries develops. It lies close to the pulp (the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth) and needs more careful treatment.
Without timely caries treatment the infection can spread to the pulp and lead to the need for root canal treatment.
When caries treatment is needed
When other treatment is needed
- If the tooth aches constantly or very badly, you most likely need root canal treatment.
- If the tooth is badly destroyed or most of it is filling, a crown may be needed after treatment.
- If there is swelling, throbbing pain or pain that gets stronger, we first relieve the inflammation and then plan the main treatment.

Stages of treatment
The doctor examines the tooth and determines how deep the caries is. If the damage is hidden or lies between the teeth, an X-ray is taken.
Anaesthesia is chosen according to your sensitivity so that treatment goes without pain.
Only the damaged areas are carefully removed, and the healthy tissue is kept.
The shape and colour of the tooth are rebuilt layer by layer, so that the filling looks natural.
We check that the tooth does not get in the way when you chew, and polish the surface for comfort.
How long it takes
In most cases a filling takes 20-40 minutes and is done in one visit.
If the damage is deeper or most of the tooth has to be restored, the procedure may take longer, and the doctor warns you about this in advance.
