My understanding of Romanian is only somewhat passable, so I can't refer you to a specific practice, but I think the Romanian Society of Orofacial Surgery and Veterinary Dentistry is a really good place to start. To my understanding they're the largest vet dentistry organisation in the country, and as such major vets should be affiliated, and it should make it easier to find a clinic that will be willing and able to help your kitty.
While I've not personally had my cat go through such a thing, my cat's vet dentist routinely does similar procedures. With an experienced dental surgeon, it should be no more risky than a standard dental cleaning, with any potential risk primarily coming from the anaesthesia, which is a minimal risk in healthy animals :>

If it's not a total emergency to get your kitty's tooth sorted (a specialist can assess this), you can ask to get a reference for a cardiologist in the clinic to check over your kitty's heart function before the anaesthesia, just for peace of mind. In some clinics, vet dentists won't even anaesthetise cats unless they have recent ECG results (outside of emergencies, of course), as they want to minimise any risks. For an operation, like fixing a fractured tooth, you might need to have basic bloodwork done, as well, primarily to assess clotting factors.
Sadly it's one of those things that can just happen :< perhaps your kitty had a clumsy fall, and hit the tooth on something. In some cats, there's sadly a genetic predisposition to more fragile teeth, as well. Most importantly, don't blame yourself. It's nothing you could've prevented.

Anaesthesia (or deep sedation) should cover only the time required to repair the tooth.
Apparently, some anesthesiologists prefer to apply general long-time anaesthesia, unnecessarily augmenting the risk.

Hi
solomonar
,
please allow me to ask you if the repair of this tooth is really essential for your cat's life, and if it is worth the risks. Is your cat still eating? Is he/she in pain or discomfort?
Do not misunderstand me, you know I did and will do much more than the best to keep my cats healthy, you know it well what I did in the past, and you can imagine what I will be able to do in the future if needed, but even I wouldn't go that far, I mean, unless it is a life saving procedure, I wouldn't take any chance or have my cat undergo that stress.

If the tooth isn't repaired it'll have to be extracted, which requires anaesthesia, regardless -- fractures can lead to chronic pain, infections, etc. If the tooth is able to be repaired, there's no reason not to go for it imo, as the extraction of an adult, deep-rooted tooth, isn't particularly quicker than repairs. In fact, Jum's dentist says she finds repairs quicker, on average.

The feline vet discovered the tooth fracture.
The dentist should then investugate- e.g X-ray, to recommend a certain procedure),
But I must find a high-level cabinet, to make sure they could apply any intervention, no matter how complex would be, and that the
anesthesia procedure is the appropriate one and not just a general one.

It just happened that my cat suffers gallbladder retention (now solved) at the same time. So I cant read the cat's behavior,
