The World Health Organization ( WHO ) Charter defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social stability, and not simply the absence of disease or infirmity .
Now, it is no exaggeration to say that life is influenced by the presence or absence of a sense of purpose.
The same goes for teeth. If you have lost a tooth for some reason , swallowing without chewing can reduce stimulation from the mouth and reduce blood flow to the brain. As a result, brain function declines and people become reluctant to go out or meet people. This cannot be called "healthy". Even if you lose your teeth , you should have artificial teeth such as dentures or implants installed so that you never forget to chew .
In this way, always preparing for the worst case scenario will make a big difference 5 or 10 years later.
interacting with society, and living a healthy, cheerful and happy life play a part in success in life , and teeth play an important role in achieving this . Therefore, it is important to have a solid sense of purpose when it comes to teeth.
For those with such a sense of purpose, we will provide the latest dental treatment, including implants and aesthetics .

Reception

Patients are welcomed at the reception counter, which has an impressive soft arch. In addition to making reservations for your next medical treatment and paying your bill, we also accept questions, so please feel free to contact us.

Waiting room

We strive to create a calm space. We have sofas and chairs where you can sit comfortably, so please relax while waiting for your medical treatment or payment.

Clinic room

Performs actual oral treatment. We place patient safety first, and we are a clean space where we take thorough infection prevention measures and hygiene management, so you can feel safe visiting our clinic.

Unit (medical chair)

We use a unit that can perform treatment efficiently to reduce the burden on patients. The seat is comfortable to sit on, so you won't get tired even during long treatment sessions.

Root canal treatment

When tooth decay progresses to a large extent, it eats away at the nerves, causing severe pain. Root canal treatment is performed to relieve pain and save as much of the tooth as possible.
At our hospital, we have introduced American-style root canal treatment as a treatment method that reduces the need for retreatment. The rotary cutting tool also removes dirt that has accumulated in complex areas.
In addition, we use our hospital's unique treatment methods to achieve highly accurate root canal treatment, including the use of YAG lasers with high sterilization effects and titanium NiTi files that enable even complex treatments.

Implant treatment

One of the treatment methods for missing teeth is implant treatment. An artificial tooth root made of titanium is implanted, and the artificial tooth is fixed where it fuses with the bone. Improvements can be seen in both functionality and aesthetics, with less stress on remaining teeth and a more natural appearance.
At our hospital, we have achieved high-precision digital treatment and perform flapless surgery, which is less invasive. In addition to being able to have artificial teeth fitted on the day of surgery, we also have a system in place that allows us to provide precise treatment, such as having artificial teeth fabricated in specialized laboratories with advanced technology.

Orthodontics

Generally, orthodontic treatment uses metal wire devices, but our hospital also offers treatment using transparent and inconspicuous mouthpiece-type devices (Invisalign).
To straighten your teeth, it is very important to take accurate impressions of your teeth. Therefore, our hospital has introduced iTero, which records tooth impressions as digital data, to create highly accurate treatment plans. In addition, for difficult cases, Invisalign can also be used in combination with a wire device (maneuver).

Non-metal treatment

This is a treatment in which inlays and crowns are made from non-metal materials to cover the scars left by dental caries treatment. Ceramic is a material that can restore aesthetics, but our clinic also offers Pekton, which is a newer material next to these materials. Pekton is a type of plastic that is characterized by its high strength and light weight. It is an excellent material that has the ability to absorb shock when chewing, and plays the role of the periodontal ligament of natural teeth. In addition, we also support zirconia crowns and CAD/CAM crowns that can be manufactured through insurance treatment.

Whitening

When your teeth become sparkling white, you will feel more confident in your appearance and your life will be enriched. Teeth whitening is an easy way to improve the aesthetics of your mouth.
The medicines we use at our hospital are personally imported from the United States. There is also a type with a high concentration of the main ingredient, so you can sufficiently whiten your teeth with home whitening that you can continue to perform on your own. Of course, we also offer in-office whitening, so we will listen to your wishes and propose a treatment method.

Periodontal disease treatment

Periodontal disease is considered one of the major causes of tooth loss. Inflammation spreads unnoticed, and in the worst case scenario, bone resorption may result in tooth loss. It is a disease that requires early detection and early treatment.
In recent years, it has become clear that periodontal disease has a negative impact on overall health. It may increase your risk of serious illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and aspiration pneumonia. For patients whose periodontal disease cannot be cured with basic periodontal treatment alone, we also consider periodontal surgical treatment, and we also treat severe periodontal disease.

Occlusion

Oral movements such as chewing and speaking can only be performed smoothly if the temporomandibular joints are in a healthy condition. However, various tissues are involved in the temporomandibular joint, and its movements are complex. Therefore, if your bite is misaligned, your balance may be disrupted and your temporomandibular joints may become painful. In addition, systemic symptoms such as migraines, tinnitus, and stiffness in the neck and shoulders may appear, and temporomandibular joint disorder may be diagnosed based on these symptoms comprehensively.
Your bite is very important for your dental health, so it is important to have it checked at regular checkups.

Beauty treatment

We believe that oral health is not just about eliminating pain or restoring function, but also has a lot to do with aesthetic beauty. By restoring not only your body but also your mental state, you can achieve true health.
As you get older, fine lines may become more noticeable and wrinkles may appear on your lips. By restoring your youthful appearance through beauty treatments, you will gain confidence and a healthier look. You can easily improve your aesthetics while receiving dental treatment.
