Summary
Centrul Stomatologic Raional Cahul is a state-owned municipal enterprise (Întreprindere Municipală) founded in 2000 under the Cahul District Council. It is the main public dental facility for the Cahul district and has participated in EU- and UNDP-supported health infrastructure projects. Procurement records indicate the centre operates dental chairs, X-ray equipment, and a ceramic furnace for a dental laboratory. No dentist names, service list, or prices are published in any accessible public source.
Two slightly differing street numbers appear across sources: str. Stefan cel Mare 23 (e-licitatie.md, infodebit.md) and Stefan cel Mare 19B (Yandex Maps). The e-licitatie.md procurement profile lists the official registered address as No. 23. The implantologie.md profile email [email protected] is listed under this clinic; it matches the founder email of Dental Excellence SRL (Sergiu Radu) — this may be a data-entry error on the directory's part and does not affect the physical address or IDNO verification. Administrator recorded as Kulia Vitalii (as at 2026-04-16 per infobiz.md search snippet). IDNO 1003603010673.
