Shishikura Dental Clinic
About
Shishikura Dental Clinic, located in Shibamachi, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a community dental clinic with a 35-year history. The clinic offers an English-speaking environment, parking facilities, and barrier-free access. Their treatment philosophy prioritizes minimally invasive cavity treatment, focusing on preserving natural tooth structure. For children, they provide not only preventive care but also toothbrushing guidance to create an environment that discourages cavities. For young children with early-stage, painless cavities, the focus is on suppressing cavity progression, avoiding unnecessary drilling to prevent fear of dental visits. For patients with time or distance constraints, they offer "intensive treatment" sessions lasting 60-90 minutes to reduce the number of visits. To minimize pain, they use needle-free injections, pre-anesthesia, and laser anesthesia, and offer special noise-canceling headphones upon request. The clinic treats periodontal disease, provides dentures, and offers white fillings and crowns. They prioritize insurance-covered treatment while also offering self-pay options. They recommend regular check-ups and aim to maintain long-term relationships with their patients.
