Differences of Implants from the others |
|
|
|
|
Dental bridges and removable partial dentures or full dentures have been
used so far, but in that case, we should polish even healthy tooth next
to missing tooth.
In addition, adjustment of full dentures is hard and fitting is not good. |
|
 |
|
If one tooth is lost, we will only replace it and will not polish the others. |
|
|
|
 |
|
If you had lost some teeth, we will plant some implants and connect them. |
|
|
|
 |
|
If you had lost the whole set of teeth, we will also plant some implants and connect them. |

We also use local anesthesia and sedation method with laughing gas so you do not feel pain during surgery.
Simultaneously, we monitor of your blood pressure, pulse, oxygen concentration in the vein and electrocardiogram. |

Picture of operating room: |
|
|
| 1Operating room and equipment which fit with implant surgery |
|
|
| ・ |
Operating room is cleaned by special filter; as shown from the arrow in the picture. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ・ |
We set large sink in the room to wash operator’s hand and arm perfectly. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ・ |
There is a shadow-less light with camera which kindles inside of mouth.
Operator and assistants look video from the cameras while operation and the video will be saved and be useful to treatments after operation. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| ・ |
This room is also X-ray room because leaden is embedded in wall, so we take a X-ray even in the middle of operation. |
|
|
|
Entrance is double door |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ・ |
There is a large light box to diagnose CT.
Three dimensional X-ray images are used for making surgery plan, explanation and confirmation during operation. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ・ |
We monitor patient’s pulse, blood pressure and oxygen concentration in
the vein taken during operation. |
| ・ |
It is so safe that operators can grasp patient’s condition clearly. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ・ |
We will keep understanding how to get you calm with laughing gas, so you can receive operation or treatment at ease.

| 2. Our goal, “keeping your implants for life.” |
|
|
We practiced and successfully achieve the program, “Eat by your own teeth for life,” through treatment and prevention of decayed tooth or periodontal disease.
Similarly, we recommend you to use implants for your life. |
|
|
|
| ① |
First of all, we make treatment plan of your mouth after checking your oral condition. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| ② |
The top priority is control of periodontal disease like pyorrhea alveolaris to get long term success.
It is obvious that bacteria of periodontal disease will invade implants
if you do not treat periodontal disease. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ③ |
We examine the reasons why you had lost your teeth, and then, we will treat the remaining teeth to prevent it from happening again.
In addition with implant treatment, it could let your teeth add longer time.
This is the implant treatment to keep your teeth for life. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ④ |
After implant treatments, you should receive maintenance to keep your implants for long term, if it is possible, for life.
It is important to removal bacteria from your mouth so we want you to learn how to care at home.
In addition, doctors and dental hygienists provide professional care every two or six months.
If you receive implant surgery with poor treatment for periodontal disease or you do not receive maintenance, inflammation will be caused around implants relatively, about 10 years after. This is becoming clear and periodontal disease is one of the cause of losing implants.
Like our case, however, the inflammation will hardly occur again because of enough treatments and prevention for periodontal disease.
This is also clear.
Bacteria cause decayed tooth and periodontal disease and it became possible to use our own tooth for life by wiping out the bacteria.
We practice the maintenance program, so we can achieve our goal “keeping your implants for life.” |

The highest rated implant system in the world.
|
|
|
|
A large number of manufacturer make so many kinds of implants now.
Most of implants made of titanium because titanium combines with bone, called osseointegration.
We use implants of straumann® .
They got the highest grade and have abundant data, so the system is useful and has great precision.
A lot of top doctors use this system, so we can get Information as the degree.
If you move to another place, you can receive the follow-up because it spreads throughout the world.
We think high degree implant treatment needs high rated implant system. |
|
|
| 4．Clean surgery with perfect infection control. |
|
|
We plant fixtures into bone by Implant surgery.
At that time, it is very important to prevent patients from bacteria not to infect.
Under dirty condition, there is also possibility, rejection will occur.
Surgeries are operated in a sanitary condition surgically to prevent you from infectious disease and to get surgery success.
We will cover you with sterilized suit in clean room and operators wear sterilized surgical suit and globes with their hands cleaned. |
|
|
 |
| Operators are in a sanitary condition surgically including patients. |
|
| Instruments are also cleaned by autoclaves. |
 |
(Disinfection accommodations
with six autoclave) |
In 2009, it happened that a patient who received LASIK, suffer from infectious disease.
Why this matter happened? It is because the surgery was not under clean condition.
Unfortunately, however, there are similar cases in dental office, with normal white robe and imperfect sterilized instruments.
Operation in sanitary condition costs more but this is essential and we do this thoroughly. |
|
|
|
5. |
Background of high success rate for implant treatments; more than 99% success rates.
We will handle any hard cases.
|
|
|
|
The first time our director operated implant treatment was in 1993 when he worked in faculty of dentistry of Nagasaki university.
He already has the experience of over 15 years, at present, operates 60 cases a year; it means about 100 implants.
what difficult cases correctly.
The doctor and dental hygienists has a lot of experiences and received training enough.
For example, our director has the degree of specialist of periodontal disease and degree of director.
In Europe and America, the specialists lead implant treatment because it is necessary to be familiar about periodontal treatment, to get long term success of implant treatment. The degrees are also background as surgeon.
Our director attend societies about implant, five national societies like Academy of Osseointegration and International Team for Implantology, and then, participates in three societies in Japan. He and staffs attend and present in their meetings pasotively.
And that, he always gather the latest information through six kinds of national journals written in English and he is a vice-president of ITI study club Kyusyu.
Moreover, our vice-director is a member of Japanese Society of Periodontology and Japanese Society of Oral Implantology, and two hygienists are certificated by Japanese Society of Periodontology and a hygienist is certificated by Japanese Society of Oral Implantology.
Six skilled hygienists support our treatments.
They study to increase their knowledge about implantology through study session in office, seminars, academic meetings and presentations.
Sometimes, our director and staffs are asked for lectures by colleges or study groups because of our high rated implant treatment.
We think that our high level treatments are supported by enough experiences,
actual results and excellent staffs. |

We will correspond any hard cases. In cases which bone dissolved, for example, art of bone development is also used.
In another case which upper back teeth has no bone, we conduct upper-jaw drilling operation.
If you would like to treat your front tooth, we would operate esthetic implnats treatment to get back beautiful tooth whoever can not tell deference.
Commonly, implants with periodontitis will be high risk. But we control it while implant treatments, so that risk will be reduced.
We often heard “Is it true that implants for upper tooth are impossible? ” or ”I can not set implants to front tooth? ”
Indeed, upper part has thin bone because of macillary sinus and in front part, ethtetics covers treatment.
This is why these treatments are known to be difficult cases.
We treat such a case so let us show our cases. |
|
|
|
