Dental Radiology / X-Ray in Chisinau

Top dental clinics in Chisinau, ratings and reviews

Dental radiology is the first step of any quality treatment. Without an X-ray the dentist cannot see hidden decay under a filling, inflammation at the root tip or the amount of available bone. Every modern dental clinic in Chisinau uses digital equipment: the radiation dose is far lower than with film, and the image appears on screen within seconds.

Dental Radiology / X-Ray — dental clinics in Chisinau

Types of dental X-rays

A periapical X-ray shows one or two teeth — it is taken when decay is suspected and always before root canal treatment. A panoramic image (OPG) covers both jaws and is required before braces or prosthetic work. A 3D scan (CBCT) builds a volumetric model of the jaw — no serious clinic plans dental implants or complex surgery without it.

How much does a dental X-ray cost in Chisinau

A periapical X-ray costs 100–200 MDL, a panoramic one from 300 MDL, and a 3D scan from 700 MDL — several times cheaper than in Western Europe. Many clinics include the first image in the consultation fee. Below are dental clinics in Chisinau with their own X-ray room: compare prices, read reviews and book online.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a dental X-ray needed?▼

An X-ray shows what the eye cannot see: hidden decay, the state of roots and canals, cysts, and the position of wisdom teeth. Without it the dentist works blind, so diagnosis almost always starts with an X-ray.

How much does a dental X-ray cost?▼

A single-tooth X-ray costs from 80 lei, a panoramic image (OPG) from 250 lei, and a 3D scan (CT) from 550 lei. The exact price depends on the clinic and the equipment.

Is a dental X-ray harmful?▼

The radiation dose of a modern digital X-ray is very low — comparable to a few hours of everyday life. It is safe, but pregnant women should tell the dentist in advance.

How do I prepare for a dental X-ray?▼

No special preparation is needed. Before the scan you'll be asked to remove earrings, glasses and metal jewellery in the area so they don't distort the image.

Can breastfeeding mothers have a dental X-ray?▼

Yes, a dental X-ray is allowed while breastfeeding and does not affect the milk. Still, tell the dentist so they can take extra protective measures.
