東淀川区・淡路駅の歯医者「くろだ歯科医院」｜Treatment

Dental hygiene treatment is delivered by a dental hygienist who will help to remove any plaque from your teeth that may have built up in certain areas. Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes,　this process is also known as scaling and polishing. An important aspect of the hygienist’s role is to show you how to look after your teeth so they remain free from plaque. You will be advised on the best brushing technique and given tips on flossing and using interdental brushes.

Dental hygiene at the dental practice also forms part of treating gum disease and bad breath. If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you will have specific hygiene needs that the hygienist will be able to assist you with.

It is recommend that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy.

Many people are unhappy with the appearance of their smile. How we feel about our smile can have a huge impact on our self-confidence and our personal and business interactions. Many people admit to hiding their smile because they feel their teeth are badly positioned, stained, chipped, too long, or too short…

Huge technological advances in the field of cosmetic dentistry have occurred in recent years, meaning that more and more patients are now able to achieve the smile they have always dreamt of. With our highly specialized and skilled team, each member bringing their individual skills into the mix, our cosmetic dental team at SENSHUKAI Dental Clinic is here to help.

There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear metal braces, known as invisible braces. SENSHUKAI offers this type of treatment to our patients, giving them the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning their teeth.

Invisalign is often a popular option for professional adults with careers and don’t feel comfortable wearing unsightly ‘train track’ conventional braces for a long period of time. The technology behind invisible braces is highly advanced and often results in reduced treatment time for patients, depending on their individual cases.

One option to improve the cosmetic look of your smile is to have your metal-colored fillings replaced with tooth-colored or “white” fillings. This is a safe procedure that involves one of our dentists removing any decay from your tooth, replacing the metal or amalgam filling with a tooth-colored filling. The new filling is made from a very hard substance and can withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite and chew over a long period of time. This allows you to smile without a metallic glint, giving your teeth a more natural appearance overall.

As dentists, we believe prevention is always better than cure, and we will always encourage and help you to take care of your teeth to prevent tooth decay. However, if you do have decay and need a filling, we recommend white fillings as a good solution that is both aesthetic and functional.

If you require a more extensive restoration than a crown or have multiple teeth that need to be repaired, a good solution is a denture or bridge.
Bridges are recommended to be made of a precious ceramic base, providing them with a solid structure and making them durable. When a bridge is needed in your smile line, porcelain is often added to the base to give it a more natural appearance. Bridges help strengthen the prepared teeth and make chewing and eating easier since they are fixed and cannot be removed.

Once you have a bridge fitted, it is important to maintain a diligent daily hygiene regime to ensure it remains free of plaque and to prevent bad breath.

Losing teeth can be a distressing experience. Many of the patients we see at Senshukai become self-conscious about smiling when one or more teeth are lost. Missing teeth can also cause problems with biting and chewing food, as surrounding teeth may become misaligned as they shift to fill the gaps. This places increased strain on the remaining teeth. Over time, the bone beneath the gaps begins to break down and resorb.
At Senshukai, we perform implant operations using advanced technology to address these problems.

As dental professionals, we believe in preventative dental care and encourage our patients to bring their children to the practice from an early age. Regular check-ups from a young age will ensure that children do not suffer from untreated dental decay, which can have devastating effects on their developing teeth.

Fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to safeguard your growing child’s teeth from developing decay. The fluoride is painted onto the surface of the child’s teeth, which helps to mineralize them. Fissure sealants, which are tooth-colored, are applied to the biting surfaces of teeth to prevent decay.

Studies have shown that the younger you bring your child to the dental practice, even if it’s just for a check-up, the more likely they are to have a positive experience and grow up without fear of the dentist. Our team will take special care of your child to make them feel safe and well-cared for.
