Minttu Virkki
Dentist
I graduated from Kuopio in 2018, and since then I’ve worked in a wide variety of dental roles. I enjoy the variety of this profession, so whether it’s treating a sore tooth, performing a minor cosmetic procedure, or carrying out a major restoration, you’re welcome to visit!
As a dentist, I’ve been described as calm and steady-handed. Another sign of positive feedback on my work is that patients who have avoided dental care in the past always return to my practice. I like to explain things to patients in plain language so that everyone understands what is being done, and of course, the patient always has the right to influence the course of treatment.
I would highlight root canal treatments as my area of expertise, given my extensive experience. There have been many occasions when a patient has fallen asleep in my chair during a root canal procedure, so my goal is always to make this a pain-free and relaxing experience. I am also familiar with treating bite-related issues. However, I am happy to perform all kinds of basic dental care, such as checkups, fillings, extractions, prosthetics, and cosmetic procedures. If necessary, I can easily consult with dental specialists.
I speak Finnish and English.
