Shima Dental Clinic
About
Located in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Shima Dental Clinic is a dental facility equipped with parking and barrier-free accessibility. The clinic provides communication in English, and the treatment rooms feature dedicated sterilization cabinets for the storage and management of instruments placed in patients' mouths. Instruments are either disposable or thoroughly sterilized, ensuring a safe treatment environment. The clinic maintains clear separation between clean and unclean areas for hygienic practice. Thorough counseling is conducted before treatment, and anesthesia is kept at approximately 37°C, close to human body temperature, to minimize pain. A relaxation room is available where children can stay with their mothers if they feel anxious. The clinic uses Diagnodent, a computerized dental caries detection device, for early detection. They have introduced Kavo treatment units equipped with centralized sterilization systems and offer low-pain treatments using impulse dental lasers. PMTC (professional mechanical tooth cleaning) is provided to thoroughly clean biofilm that cannot be removed with daily brushing. In case of tooth loss, three options are available: partial dentures, bridges, and implants.
