Cavity treatment in Lviv

A filling after the exam: we remove what is decayed and keep what is yours. No “invisible filling in 15 minutes for everyone”.

Decay does not “go away”. Early on, one filling is often enough. Night pain or a sharp reaction to cold may mean the nerve — and a filling will not be enough. At Dental Story we examine first, take an image if needed, then plan — we do not start the drill on sight.

How we treat cavities

Diagnosis first

We check whether this is a surface defect or pulpitis. That decides the visit, not a “standard filling”.

We keep what is yours

Only decayed tissue comes out. We do not drill healthy enamel “just in case”.

A modern material

A composite matched to the tooth. The shade is chosen in the chair, not from a one-size catalogue.

An honest fork

If almost no wall is left — we talk about an onlay or a crown, not a giant filling “for a year”.

How the visit works

  1. 1

    Exam

    We look at the teeth and ask about pain and sensitivity. An X-ray if the decision would otherwise be blind.

  2. 2

    Plan and price

    One filling, several teeth, or canals already — we say so before we start.

  3. 3

    Treatment

    Anaesthetic, isolation, decay removal, filling. You feel pressure, not pain.

  4. 4

    Bite check

    We adjust the height so it is not “high” and give simple rules for the first day.

Cavity FAQ

Can a cavity be treated without a filling?

Early demineralisation can sometimes be held with hygiene and fluoride. A hole needs a filling. Home remedies do not close decay.

How long does one tooth take?

A usual filling is about an hour. Several surfaces or deep decay take longer. If the nerve opens, the plan becomes endodontics.

Does a filling hurt?

Not under anaesthetic. The injection stings for a few seconds. Cold sensitivity afterwards is common and fades.

Why did a filling fall out after a year?

A large filling on thin walls, a heavy bite, or decay at the edge. Sometimes the tooth already needed a crown — we will say so this time.

How much does cavity treatment cost?

The services calculator gives a range. The exact sum follows the exam: one surface and deep decay with the nerve are different jobs.
