Cavity treatment in Lutsk
A cavity is best treated while it is small: it is simpler, quicker and cheaper. We explain how it works and what affects the price of a filling.
In brief
- Treatment is done under local anaesthesia.
- Composite fillings are matched to the colour of the tooth.
- The price depends on the group of teeth and the extent of damage.
A cavity starts as a spot on the enamel, then destroys dentine and may reach the pulp — then pain appears and treatment becomes more complex. So plan a visit to the dentist not only when it hurts but also for a check-up.
At Dentika cavities are treated with modern anaesthesia and composite materials. The price list shows restoration of a front tooth, premolar or molar and rebuilding of contact points between teeth as separate items — they affect the cost and duration.
When to come in
- A spot or a “hole” has appeared on a tooth
- A tooth reacts to cold, sweet or hot
- Food gets stuck between teeth
- A piece of tooth has chipped off or an old filling has fallen out
- More than a year has passed since the last check-up
How it works at Dentika
- Examination and X-ray. The doctor examines the teeth and, if needed, takes a targeted X-ray to see decay between teeth and the condition of the root.
- Anaesthesia. First a gel, then an injection if needed. Treatment starts once the anaesthesia has taken effect.
- Removing the affected tissue. The doctor removes the damaged tissue, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
- Preparing the cavity. The tooth is isolated from saliva (rubber dam or a retractor) and the surface is prepared for the material.
- Filling. Composite is placed in layers and cured with a lamp; the tooth colour is matched.
- Adjustment and polishing. The bite is checked and the filling is shaped and polished so it is smooth.
What affects the cost
- Group of teeth: front teeth, premolars or molars
- Extent of damage — whether contact points need rebuilding
- Additional stages: medicinal liner, isolating the tooth
- Depth of decay: if the pulp is affected, root canal treatment is needed
Aftercare
- Do not eat until the anaesthesia wears off so that you do not bite your cheek or tongue
- If your bite feels high after a filling, call us — it can be adjusted
- Brush twice a day and use interdental brushes or floss
- Come for a check-up every 6–12 months or as the doctor recommends

Questions and answers
How much does a filling cost at Dentika?
In the 2026–2027 price list the lowest price for a filling (restoration of a premolar or molar without rebuilding contact points) is 950 ₴. For front teeth and more complex cases the cost is higher. The doctor names the final amount after examination.
Is treating a cavity painful?
Treatment is done under local anaesthesia. If you are anxious, tell the doctor — they will explain what will happen and stop in time if you are uncomfortable.
How long does a filling last?
It depends on the size of the filling, your bite and hygiene. That is why regular check-ups matter — the doctor will notice a problem early.
Why might a filling cost more?
If the tooth is badly damaged, additional stages are needed: rebuilding contacts, isolating the tooth, a medicinal liner. All of this appears in the price list as separate items.
