Prosthodontics and Implantology

Outline

Prosthetic treatment with crowns, bridges and removable dentures
Fixed prostheses such as crowns and bridges and removable dentures are provided to replace teeth morphology and missing teeth. We also specialize in treatment using the latest adhesive technology and esthetic dentistry.
Dental Implant treatment
Implant bodies are embedded in the alveolar bone, and artificial teeth called superstructures are attached on top of them to replace missing teeth and recover oral function. Specialized implant treatment groups are in charge of the diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment for Temporomandibular disorders
We diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders, whose main symptoms are pain in the jaw, joint noise, and limitation of jaw opening, based on clinical examinations and imaging tests using MRI.
Treatment of advanced cases introduced by private dental clinics
A clinical clerkship has been introduced within our department in order to homogenize the provided medical care and improve dental practice technology. For advanced treatment including full mouth reconstruction, conferences are often held, and we all are striving to provide the best possible treatment.

Head's Message

Dental prosthetic treatment involves creating an abutment and placing a crown on a damaged tooth, making a fixed bridge for missing teeth, creating removable dentures, and using implants to create fixed teeth. By properly restoring missing teeth and recovering the harmonious function of the mouth, it becomes easier to eat, speak, and feel confident in one's appearance. The Department of Prosthodontics aims to help maintain and restore oral health, which is essential for your comfortable daily life.
