Medical examination fees
If you have a Japanese health insurance card, you can receive medical treatment with your insurance.
If you do not have an insurance card, you will be treated at your own expense.
Our clinic accepts credit card payments (Visa, Master, AMEX, JCB, DinersClub, and UnionPay cards).
Insurance treatment (If you do not have insurance card, you can receive treatment at your own expense)
cavity treatment
If you have symptoms of tooth pain or stinging, you may be suffering from sensitivity or tooth decay.
Cavities do not heal naturally, but instead progress rapidly, eventually forcing the tooth to be extracted. However, if treated early, the damage to the tooth can be lessened and the tooth can be preserved.
root canal therapy
When decay has reached the nerve of a tooth, this treatment removes and disinfects the nerve and nerve remnants. Only the root of the tooth is left and a dental material is attached to the top to avoid extraction and prevent deterioration of the oral environment. If left untreated, the treatment becomes difficult, so please consult us as soon as possible.
periodontal disease
Periodontal disease causes the gums to swell and the bone supporting the teeth to dissolve, causing them to become wobbly and eventually lead to tooth extraction. It has been shown that the bacteria can circulate to the brain, heart, lungs, and other parts of the body, leading to worsening of systemic diseases.
Dentures
Leaving missing teeth in place will eventually lead to misalignment and further decay. To prevent decay, dentures should be made.
Own expense menu
implant (esp. dental)
Since titanium implants bond securely to the jawbone, they do not shift when chewing as firmly as natural teeth. In some cases, the artificial teeth that are attached to the top of the implant look so natural that you cannot even tell that they have been treated.
Although dentures and bridges are less expensive and require less time for treatment, they have their own advantages and disadvantages, such as affecting the surrounding teeth and being troublesome to care for after each meal.
Our clinic offers low-cost bridges, so if you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Cost: 350,000 yen
whitening (e.g. of teeth)
- Those who have always been concerned about yellowing of their teeth.
- Those who want to look clean for work.
- Those who want to smile without hiding their mouth.
Our clinic uses Tion® whitening system. 40% of whiteners cause hypersensitivity, but TION® whiteners are less likely to cause hypersensitivity and provide a high whitening effect. We recommend safe whitening agents.
Cost: 33,000 yen
Inlay
An inlay is a "tooth filling" that is used to replace a portion that has been removed due to cavity treatment or other reasons. Silver-colored alloys are used for insurance purposes, but these silver-colored teeth are conspicuous in the mouth. There is also the risk of metal allergies due to the dissolution of metal ions over time.
We offer a variety of silver fillings, gold fillings, clear ceramics, and zirconia, which is harder than natural teeth, to meet the needs of our patients.

crown
A crown is a "tooth covering" that is used to replace a tooth that has been severely cut away due to cavity treatment (root canal treatment) or other reasons.
For insurance purposes, silver alloys or dental plastic (resin) with a metal inner surface are used.
Silver alloys are more noticeable in the mouth, and there are concerns about metal allergies.
Also, even if the surface is resin, it will gradually become more noticeable as it deteriorates over time.
We offer a wide range of metal-free materials as well as highly biocompatible self-financed metals.
Please feel free to contact us for further information.
