Prevent cavities and periodontal disease with PMTC cleaning. What are the “tooth repair” effects unique to private practice?

Hello from SACHI Dental Clinic in Shibakoen and Mita. Today, we would like to introduce PMTC (Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning), a professional cleaning that helps maintain the health and beauty of your mouth.

What Is PMTC?

PMTC is a cleaning that thoroughly removes fine debris, stains, and bacterial films (biofilm) that daily brushing cannot fully remove, using specialized dental instruments. By polishing the tooth surfaces until they are smooth, it helps prevent debris from reattaching and is highly effective in preventing cavities and periodontal disease.

Why Patients Choose Our Self-Pay PMTC: Our Carefully Chosen “Treatment”

With our self-pay PMTC, we not only remove buildup but also carefully select materials that strengthen the teeth and help their beauty last longer.

1. Nano-particle care with “Renamel”: Its main ingredient, nano-particle hydroxyapatite, fills in and repairs (recrystallizes) microscopic scratches on the tooth surface that are invisible to the eye.
   Smoother surfaces: Teeth become less prone to buildup and stains.
   Care for early cavities (demineralization): Promotes remineralization of the teeth, aiming for stronger teeth.
2. Tooth-friendly “Concool PMTC Paste”: With very fine particles, it efficiently removes stains while minimizing stress on the tooth structure.

How It Differs from Insurance-Covered Cleaning

Cleaning under insurance-covered treatment is intended to “treat disease (such as periodontal disease),” and there are limits on the materials that can be used and the time available. Self-pay PMTC, on the other hand, is intended for “prevention and maintaining beauty,” allowing us to use higher-quality materials and take more time to finish the tooth surfaces as if giving them a treatment.

We recommend self-pay PMTC for those who want to experience a smoother feel or who want to protect their precious teeth without damaging them.

(Self-Pay PMTC Cleaning Details)

Cost: ¥6,600 (tax included)

Treatment duration and number of visits: 1 visit (about 30 minutes)

Risks and side effects: We cannot guarantee that all stains and buildup will be completely removed.

If you have severe periodontal disease, we may prioritize treating it first.
An examination and diagnosis will be performed at your first visit, and PMTC will be offered from your second visit onward.

We will propose the cleaning best suited to each person’s oral condition. If you are looking for dental maintenance, please feel free to consult us.
