Cavity Treatment and General Dentistry

Cavity Treatment and General Dentistry in Ginza, Tokyo

From a small cavity to a painful tooth, we explain what is happening and your treatment options in English before we start. We offer tooth-colored fillings and ceramic restorations. For root canal treatment, Dr. Uchida refers you to Dr. Yamauchi, a dentist who focuses on root canal treatment (endodontics) using a dental microscope. Dr. Yamauchi performs root canal treatment at Ginza UC Dental on two Thursday afternoons a month.

All fees listed above are for private (self-pay) treatment and are not covered by Japanese national health insurance.

Treatment period

A filling or inlay usually takes 1 to 2 visits. A crown usually takes 2 to 3 visits. Root canal treatment usually takes 2 to 4 visits before the crown. Because Dr. Yamauchi sees patients here twice a month, these visits are usually about 2 weeks apart.

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days after treatment

  • Numbness from local anesthesia for a few hours

  • Ceramic restorations can chip or crack, especially with teeth grinding

  • Root canal treatment may not always resolve an infection, and retreatment or extraction may be needed

  • Swelling, pain or bleeding after extraction
