Laser Dental Fillings
Imagine having a dental filling without the sound and vibration of a conventional dental drill.
And often, without an injection.
For many patients, this changes the way they experience dentistry.
At Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry in Nicosia, Cyprus, I use Er: YAG laser technology to remove tooth decay with precision, helping preserve healthy tooth structure while making treatment more comfortable.
I have used dental lasers in my clinical practice since 2000.
Because restoring a tooth should be as thoughtful as preserving it.
A Dental Filling. Without the Familiar Drill.
For some patients, the hardest part of a dental filling isn’t the cavity.
It is the sound of the drill, the vibration, or the thought of an injection.
Er: YAG laser technology offers a different experience.
Instead of using a rotating instrument to remove decay, I use controlled pulses of laser energy to prepare the tooth.
This allows precise removal of affected dental tissue while preserving healthy enamel and dentine.
Many laser fillings can be completed without local anaesthesia, allowing you to return to your day without prolonged numbness.
You can experience the difference, not just see it: less drilling. More Comfort.
How Laser Dental Fillings Work
Every filling begins with an examination.
I assess the extent of the decay, the tooth’s condition, and how much healthy structure I can preserve.
During treatment, the Er: YAG laser removes decayed tissue with controlled energy pulses, without the familiar vibration of conventional drilling.
Once the cavity is prepared, I restore the tooth using a carefully selected tooth-coloured filling material.
At Yiannikos Centre, we use Admira Fusion by VOCO, a ceramic-based ORMOCER® restorative material, for appropriate direct restorations.
The final restoration is shaped and finished to respect your tooth’s natural form and bite.
My aim is to remove what is damaged while preserving what is healthy. Precision Begins with Preservation.
A filling involves two important decisions.
How we prepare the tooth and what we place inside it afterward.
I believe both deserve attention.
Laser technology helps me prepare cavities conservatively, while our biological restorative philosophy guides material selection.
Before choosing a restoration, I consider material composition, clinical performance, your tooth’s condition, and your individual needs.
Good restorative dentistry begins with understanding both the tooth and the material.
Experience Behind the Technology
Dental lasers have shaped the way I practice dentistry for many years.
I began incorporating laser technology into my clinical work in 2000.
In 2006, I completed my MSc in Lasers in Dentistry at RWTH Aachen University, Germany.
That same year, I received the Golden Award for clinical research in dental lasers at the ISLD Congress in Berlin.
I teach in the MSc in Laser Dentistry at Sigmund Freud University Vienna.
This experience influences how I select laser wavelengths, plan treatments, and preserve natural dental tissues.
Technology becomes valuable when experience guides its use.
A Different Experience for Adults and Children
Some patients have avoided dental treatment for years because they remember an uncomfortable experience.
Others simply dislike injections or the sound of a dental drill.
Laser dental fillings offer a different way to approach many cavities.
For children, this can help make early dental experiences more positive.
For adults, it can make returning to dental care feel easier.
At our Nicosia clinic, Er: YAG laser technology is available for cavity preparation in both primary and permanent teeth.
Sometimes, one appointment can change how you feel about the next.
