From “curing” to “preventing”
Our practice is based on dental medicine learned from Dr. Miyashita of the EPSDC Group [EPSDC stands for Enhancing Patient-supporting Dental Care], who is well-known for his Scandinavian (Swedish) style of dental care. We believe in fostering oral health from the ground up, even if that takes time, so we do not start treatment right away. First, we listen closely to what the patient has to say and we take time during the initial visit to perform tests and examinations and deliver a diagnosis. If necessary, we use a “microscope” that can magnify the affected area 20 times more than the naked eye to perform tests and examinations, perform restorations, and provide endodontic treatment.
Before treatment, we provide a “visual” explanation using x-rays and intraoral cameras so that you can choose the treatment that best suits your needs, and we answer any questions you may have.
Our clinic director specializes in oral surgery and he is a board-certified oral surgeon of the Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He practiced for many years while in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Showa University. Please consult us about temporomandibular joint disorder, trauma to the oral and maxillofacial region, and extraction of wisdom teeth that are difficult to remove.
Ideally, a dental clinic should be “a place for prevention” rather than treatment. Let’s take a proactive approach to “oral health care” by reviewing the causes of dental problems and by consciously reviewing our lifestyle and forms of care.
