1: Preparing the treatment environment
Tokyo Midtown Dental Clinic is located on the same floor as Tokyo Midtown Clinic, which focuses on outpatient care such as internal medicine and orthopedics, as well as preventive medicine, women's health care, and cutting-edge medical care.
In dentistry, we have created a comfortable treatment environment to meet a wide range of needs.
2: Infection prevention measures
Whenever possible, medical instruments used in our clinic are sterilized in a class B autoclave (high-pressure steam sterilizer) that complies with the European standard EN13060.
At our clinic, all treatment equipment is provided under the supervision of dental hygienists.
3: Installing a dental CT scanner
At our clinic, we use CT scans and digital X-rays to analyze teeth, bones, blood vessels, and nerves in three dimensions, enabling us to provide more appropriate examinations, diagnoses, and surgeries.
4. Anesthesia and intraoperative monitoring
At our clinic, we will select the anesthesia method that is most appropriate for each patient, such as intravenous sedation, depending on the case.
During surgery, we constantly monitor the patient's blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and other parameters to keep track of their condition. Furthermore, on the medical floor on the 6th floor of Midtown, we work with not only dentistry but also other medical departments.
5: Comprehensive after-sales support
In general, from our experience, we believe that implants can be used for a lifetime, depending on the maintenance and conditions.
In rare cases, implants may not take hold due to changes in the condition of the surrounding teeth or gums, in which case symptoms tend to appear relatively soon after treatment is completed, within 1 to 2 years. Please feel free to consult us about any loosening of implants.
In addition, at our clinic, we will remake the superstructure free of charge if it malfunctions or breaks within one year of being fitted.
Please feel free to contact us.
If retreatment is required after one year, we offer the following discount system according to the number of years that have passed.
| Discount System | |
|---|---|
| Within 1 to 2 years | 50% discount on applicable medical expenses |
| Within 2 to 3 years | 30% discount on applicable medical expenses |
| Within 3 to 10 years | 10% discount on applicable medical expenses |
*Free remake within one year of fitting is available on the condition that you visit us for a check within three weeks of fitting and for regular maintenance every three to four months.
*The free re-fabrication and discount system only applies to implants installed at our clinic.
*Under the discount system, an additional treatment fee of 11,000 yen (tax included) x number of teeth will be charged each time you visit the clinic.
