At Sakura Dental Clinic, we believe visiting the dentist shouldn't feel like a chore. Since 2009, we've built a practice around one simple idea: treat every patient the way we'd want to be treated ourselves. That means taking the time to listen, explaining every option clearly, and never rushing through a procedure. Our bilingual team speaks both Japanese and English fluently, and our Namba location is just a three-minute walk from the station.
Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. We use ultrasonic scaling, air-polishing technology, and take digital X-rays with 90% less radiation than traditional film. Every visit includes a personalised hygiene plan tailored to your specific needs.
Brighten your smile safely with our GC TiON in-office whitening system or take-home custom trays. Our whitening treatments are gentle on sensitive teeth and can lighten your shade by 4–8 levels in a single session. We also offer combination packages for optimal, lasting results.
No more temporary crowns and second appointments. Our CEREC Primescan system digitally scans your tooth, designs the restoration in 3D, and mills a precision ceramic crown — all in about 90 minutes. The result is a natural-looking, perfectly fitted crown completed in a single visit.
Straighten your teeth without visible braces. As a certified Invisalign provider, we create custom treatment plans using 3D ClinCheck software so you can see your projected results before you start. Most adult cases complete in 12–18 months with discreet, removable aligners.
Missing a tooth? Our implant specialists use Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems with computer-guided surgical placement for maximum precision and minimal recovery time. We handle everything from single-tooth replacements to full-arch rehabilitation, right here in our clinic.
We make dental visits fun for little ones. Our kid-friendly treatment room features ceiling-mounted screens, flavoured polishing pastes, and a treasure chest reward system. We focus on building positive dental habits early, with gentle fluoride treatments, sealants, and age-appropriate oral hygiene coaching.
Japanese dentistry is known for precision, patience, and attention to detail. We bring those values into everything we do — from the way we prepare a filling to the way we greet you at the door.
We invest heavily in continuing education. Dr. Tanaka attends international conferences annually and our team completes over 100 hours of advanced training each year. This means you benefit from the latest techniques and materials, delivered with the care and hospitality Japan is famous for.
