1: Well-designed treatment environment
Tokyo Midtown Dental Clinic is located on the same floor as Tokyo Midtown Clinic, which provides outpatient services such as internal medicine and orthopedics, and also focuses on preventive medicine, women's medicine, and advanced medical care.
In the dental field, we have created an environment to meet a wide range of dental needs.
2：Our approach to prevent infection
The treatment equipment used in our clinic is sterilized in Class B autoclave (high pressure steam sterilizer) according to European standard EN13060, whenever possible.
In this clinic, we supply treatment equipment under the supervision of dental hygienists.
3: Dental CT and Digital X-rays
We use CT and digital x-rays to analyze the teeth, bones, blood vessels and nerves in three dimensions so that we can perform more appropriate surgery, treatment and diagnosis.
4：Anesthesia, intraoperative monitoring
We will choose the most appropriate method of anesthesia such as intravenous sedation, depending on your case.
In addition, we constantly monitor “blood pressure” and “oxygen saturation” during surgery to understand the patient's condition.
Furthermore, on the 6th floor of Midtown, there are other medical departments where we are linked and collaborate.
5. Full follow-up service
Based on our experience, implants are designed to last depending on each patient's case in general.
In rare cases, an implant may not settle due to changes in the surrounding teeth or gum conditions, but in that case symptoms tend to appear relatively early, one to two years after treatment is completed. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you notice any wobble or other problems.
In addition, at our clinic, we will respond free of charge for remanufacturing due to defects or damage within 1 year of installation of the superstructure.Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Even if retreatment becomes necessary after 1 year, we offer the following discount system according to the number of years that have passed.
| Discount system | |
|---|---|
| Within 1-2 years | 50% discount |
| Within 2-3 years | 30% discount |
| Within 3-10 years | 10% discount |
*Free remanufacturing within 1 year after installation is subject to checkup within 3 weeks after installation and regular maintenance every 3 to 4 months.
*The free remanufacturing and discount system applies only to implants installed at our clinic.
*In the discount system, a separate treatment fee of “11,000 yen (tax included) x number of teeth” will be charged at each visit.

After surgery, you should come in for maintenance every six months. We will check the fixation of the implant, the condition of the cap, and the condition of the bite.

FAQ
Q: Can any person get an implant regardless of age?
A:The target age range is from late 20's to late 70's, and the patients are supposed to basically be in good health.
If you have a systemic history of severe heart disease, blood disease, autoimmune disease, etc., let us have an interview with you first, then we will decide your treatment plan.
Q: How long will the implant surgery and its treatment take, respectively?
A:The implant placement surgery will take approximately 2-3 hours. In addition, we would like you to spare time for pre-cleaning and post-operative rest.
Implant treatments start from preparation period such as consulting and end with a successful transition to maintenance phase.
This whole process will take at least half a year, and in the longest case, two years. Based on our experiences, rushing the results oftentimes leave problems behind. Please be advised that we want to professionally conclude our implant treatment, which may sometimes ask for your time commitment.
Q: When implants don't work?
A:There are many possible causes for implant failure, but it is possible to minimize the risk of failure by performing a thorough preoperative systemic and local examination before surgery, and taking a suitable surgical procedure.
In rare cases, the implant falls out when it fails to bond to the bone. We can use appropriate treatment to restore the bone and repeat the implant treatment.
Q：How long do implants last?
A:In many cases, implants can be maintained for a long time with proper care and regular checks.
To this end, we believe it is very important for you to carry out regular checkups.
Q: Can I work on the day of my implant?
A:Basically, we recommend you to keep resting immediately after the surgery.
You may be asked to refrain from exercise, drinking, smoking, and bathing on the day of the surgery.
Please understand that you will gradually recover for about two weeks after the surgery, and then you will be able to resume your life as before the operation.
Q: How much does it cost?
A:Price range from approximately 1,000,000 JPY.
