Root Canal Treatment in Chisinau

Top dental clinics in Chisinau, ratings and reviews

Root canal treatment begins where an ordinary filling ends: the infection has reached the pulp — the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth. A dull or throbbing pain appears and the tooth reacts to heat. The dentist must remove the inflamed tissue completely, disinfect the canal and seal it hermetically. It is the most delicate work done at a dental clinic in Chisinau.

Root Canal Treatment — dental clinics in Chisinau

Why the microscope matters

Root canals are thinner than a hair, often curved and branched. With the naked eye a dentist may miss the fourth canal in a molar — and a year later the infection returns. Under a microscope at 20x magnification the specialist sees the canal orifices and works precisely. A control X-ray after filling confirms the canal is sealed to the apex.

Cost and duration

Treating a single-canal tooth in Chisinau starts from 1200 MDL, a three-canal molar costs 2500–4000 MDL — several times cheaper than in Germany or Italy. It usually takes one or two visits of about 90 minutes. After endodontic treatment the tooth becomes brittle, so a crown is often recommended. Choose a clinic below.

Frequently asked questions

How much does root canal treatment cost?
Treating one canal costs from 600 lei. Teeth can have one, two or three canals, so the total depends on the number of canals and how complex they are.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Thanks to anaesthesia the treatment itself is painless. Mild sensitivity for a couple of days afterwards is possible and eases with ordinary painkillers.
Can the tooth be saved or is it better to remove it?
In most cases modern endodontics can save even a badly damaged tooth. Extraction is a last resort, since your own tooth is always better than an implant.
How many visits does root canal treatment take?
Often treatment is done in one visit, but a complex infection may need 2–3 appointments. The dentist decides after an exam and X-ray.
Is a crown needed after root canal treatment?
Often yes: a tooth without a nerve becomes brittle, and a crown protects it from cracking. This is especially important for chewing teeth under heavy load.
