Welcome to Minoru Laser Dental

Do you dread visiting the dentist? A number of people do. Often people put off having a regular dental check up because they are frightened of the pain from having fillings or other procedures. The problem here is that without a regular check up and cleaning your dental health only worsens. This often results in more work done when you do actually go see your dentist. This means more money and more pain. Did you know that you can have fillings done without a needle? This takes away a lot of the pain of visiting the dentist! Dr. Kapusianyk was one of the first dentists in the Richmond area to do needle-free laser fillings. He has been using a laser to do fillings since January, 2004. His laser propels water to gently clean out the tooth decay. After the decay has been removed Dr. Kapusianyk fills the hole by bonding a white filling. This stops the decay from progressing closer to the nerve and reduce the chance of further damage to the tooth. Lasers are much more minimally invasive than regular dentist drills and less insulting to the nerve. A laser is also helpful in killing bacteria to stop the decay in its tracks. It also gives a better surface area to bond the white filling to and hold everything together. The other great thing about laser fillings is that lots to times people do not need a needle.
