| Treatment description | Due to periodontal disease, the receded gum line causes the tooth to appear elongated, can cause sensitivity to cold, hot, sweet, or sour foods. Even in the absence of teeth sensitivity, the rugged root surface can be exposed and tends to deteriorate the periodontal disease by increasing the multiplication of bacteria. In this case, we correct it by performing a delicate surgery by taking a tissue graft. It is a very delicate gum surgery. |
| Approximate treatment duration | 90-120 minutes |
| Treatment period, Number of times | After controlling the inflammation and depending on the region and condition, in most cases it will be completed in one surgical session. In about 3 weeks after the surgery, we will remove the stiches and reevaluate the post-op condition. It will take about 3 weeks for recovery. |
| Cost | 1 region from 210,000 JPY +Tax (*Not covered by insurance) |

| Treatment description | Much of the gum can be seen while speaking, laughing, singing. In this case, you may not notice it but there is mild chronic inflammation. If this inflammation is left untreated, soon or later will lead to resorption of the supporting bone, resulting in teeth loss due to periodontal disease. There are several causes to this and depending on the symptoms, a periodontal plastic surgery technique called esthetic crown lengthening procedure can improve the gummy appearance. Other techniques can be used in combination. Both beautiful appearing gum lines and oral health can be achieved. |

Currently, implantitis (inflammation around the implants with bone loss) is a hot topic worldwide. Perfect periodontal treatment prior to implant treatment is imperative in order to avoid it. Otherwise the implant will not stay in the mouth in a healthy condition. Implantitis also affects systemic condition. It is important to obtain healthy gum tissue that is easy for the patient to take care of at home and also easy to maintain at the clinic.
With the final tooth (implant supported crown) position and its shape in mind, it is important to accurately design the position, and moreover to perform the surgery according to the design exactly. In other words, the depth of the implant, inclination, 3-d (dimensional) position are very important. This will allow for easy maintenance of the prosthetic screw and implant supported tooth, and will be able to use this implant for longer period of time.

I come from a family of generations of physicians, and from early on I wondered if the food that we eat and lifestyle habits that we have formulates the person’s life. From the many patients that I was able to treat, I noticed that by only focusing on a specific disease, some patients were not improving as well as I had hoped. For example, a patient with hypertension who was treated by Dr. Kasumi for periodontal diseases, their conditions drastically stabilized. Among patients suffering from diabetes, comparing those who were not treated for periodontal diseases and those who were treated by Dr. Kasumi, it took no time for the numerical values for those who were treated to approach the normal range. Currently, many systemic diseases, including genetic diseases, and periodontal diseases are being researched at the molecular level. We have more understanding of the correlation between arthritis and periodontal diseases. The connection between many chronic diseases and periodontal diseases is a current hot topic.
At Dr. Kasumi Nagatacho Clinic, we will also be managing periodontal diseases from antiaging perspective. We will be a bridge and make referrals to the necessary medical specialists according to the patient’s needs. Please be sure to visit for routine checkups to a periodontal specialist. It will also be beneficial for prevention of other diseases. Medically structuring and accurately designing lifestyles and so forth from any age in a developed country with longer longevity like Japan, there are many things that we can do for a healthy and beautiful life just by re-examining the quality of life.

Intravenous sedation is an infusion with sedatives that relieve the tension and pain and allows for pain free surgery that allows the patient to doze off while receiving the oral care. It is said that toothaches are one of the worst pain that human kind experiences. There are many Japanese people who are persevering and endure the pain, but the intravenous sedation, which is a world standard, can allow the patient to receive treatment without baring so much discomfort. Intravenous sedation is also known as relaxing sedation. The patient can receive treatment while comfortably dozing off, pain free and without fear.
For patients, I aim to provide a relaxing and safe and secure environment, and for the surgeon and their team, I thrive to provide an environment where they can fully concentrate on the surgery at hand. If there are 10 patients, there will be 10 different sedatives according to each patient’s general condition, genetic backgrounds, and mental health. During periodontal treatments there are occasions (cases) in which anesthesia and other drugs will be infused at the same time. At Dr. Kasumi Nagatacho Clinic, my goal is to personalize each case to the patient and the surgical team’s needs and I will provide the best possible treatment by customizing for each patient.

During my life I was blessed with supportive superiors and seniors, who taught me and guided me and these valuable advices have become my life possessions. I enjoy interacting with people and my happiness is to do work that makes the people around me glad. I wish to pass on the knowledge and experiences that I have learned until now to future generations. Even with my pharmacy background, I have come to experience various aspects, so I feel that I could be useful in a broad range of situations. Completing any tasks that I was entrusted with, having a positive mindset in any circumstance, and tackling any tasks that come with enjoyment is my forte.
It seems like fate that I was blessed with the opportunity to help with Dr. Kasumi’s work this time. I came to learn that I have limited knowledge in periodontal diseases and with new learning ahead, I wish to contribute, as a member of team Kasumi, in proving customized treatment for each patient.

I have been gaining experience as a dental hygienist. I have been working hard to learn from various fields and I have been caring for specialized oral care, but having empathy and care for each individual patients with cordial manners is something I keep in mind at all times. Oral health is directly connected to physical and mental health. If the oral health condition is made better, the overall body condition will get better, and will lead to beauty, then to daily happiness. I wish to sincerely support and learn more than ever, in order to bring out happiness and smiles for you.
