Aiming to become a family doctor you can visit for the rest of your life
Kasuga Dental Clinic has been in business for seven years.
We would like to express our gratitude to our patients and everyone who supports us every day.
Over the past seven years, our clinic has worked in collaboration with midwives active nationwide, local pediatricians, otolaryngologists, and the nursery teachers and registered dietitians who work at Kasuga Nursery School, to provide support for the three areas necessary for children's health: eating, breathing, and good posture.
Kasuga Dental Clinic is a dental clinic that is open to children from birth.
By preventing the three causes of tooth loss - tooth decay, periodontal disease, and misalignment - from the age of 3, you can maintain dental health and extend your lifespan without having to spend expensive medical expenses and time on treatment in the future.
We will continue to serve your health and strive to be your family doctor that you can visit for the rest of your life.
FEATURES Features of Kasuga Dental Clinic
Protecting your teeth for the future through prevention
Dental treatment
Teeth have a "lifespan." With each treatment, the lifespan of a tooth shortens, and although it varies from person to person, after 1-2 treatments, the tooth will reach the end of its lifespan. To prevent this from happening, Kasuga Dental Clinic offers a wide range of treatments, including preventive dentistry and various private treatments. In all treatments, we propose appropriate treatments with the first priority on "taking care of your teeth."
For children and adults
For orthodontics
Leave it to the specialists
Our clinic has orthodontic specialists certified by the dental association, and we offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments, from preventive orthodontics using mouth guards for children to wire orthodontics for adults.
Preventive orthodontics for children: Myobrace system
The Myobrace System is an early preventative orthodontic treatment for children between the ages of 15 and XNUMX. Unlike adult orthodontics, it aims to align teeth naturally without extractions or brackets. By wearing a removable mouthpiece while sleeping, children are taught to breathe through their nose, to place their tongue correctly on the upper palate, and to swallow properly, allowing the jaw to fully develop to its natural size. As a result, there is enough space for all the teeth to fit in, and the teeth grow naturally straight.
Effects of Myobrace treatment
- Correcting bad oral habits
- Improve jaw development and position
- Improve your teeth alignment
- Promotes optimal development of the facial bone structure
- Improved health
- Promotes healthy eating habits
You will develop the following habits:
- Nose breathing
- Correct tongue position at rest
- The correct way to swallow
- Lips closed
Invisalign: Comfortable and discreet
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that gradually straightens your teeth by wearing a mouthpiece-type orthodontic device for a certain amount of time every day and replacing the device every two weeks. The biggest advantage is that it is removable. It can be removed as needed for meals, brushing your teeth, etc., so you don't have to sacrifice much of your daily life. Developed by Align Technology, Inc. in the United States, Invisalign is the mouthpiece orthodontic system with the largest market share in the world due to the ease of use of the device and the high precision of treatment.
With the introduction of the 3D digital scanner "iTero",
Treatment is "fast, accurate, and comfortable"
With the introduction of the latest 3D digital scanner "iTero," it is now possible to create highly accurate mouthpieces that are made entirely digitally. In addition to improving technical precision, the elimination of the need to fill the mouth with impression material to take a mold as in the past not only speeds up the process but also makes it easier for people with strong gag reflexes who have difficulty with molds. In addition, because dental impressions are handled as digital data, there is no time required for physical transportation, and the time it takes for the mouthpiece to be delivered has been shortened. Another major benefit is that it is now possible to simulate the oral cavity after orthodontic treatment during pre-consultation.
Awarded "Gold Status"
Yutaro Kuribayashi, the Fukuoka Region Director, has treated over 100 cases of Invisalign, an orthodontic treatment method, and has been certified as an "Invisalign Doctor" by Align Technology, Inc. He will continue to do his best in dental treatment and strive to improve himself every day.
Conducted in a robust facility environment
Precision Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is said to be highly difficult and has a lower success rate in Japan than in other countries. Our root canal treatment, performed by experienced dentists in a well-equipped environment, has the following features.
- Over 7 cases of elective medical treatment in seven years
- Of these, 0 cases required tooth extraction.
- Most treatments are completed in one session
Five points of our precision root canal treatment
More accurate diagnosis using CT
Because root canals are complexly curved, in order to prevent retreatment, it is necessary to accurately grasp their shape and remove every bit of the contaminated pulp. At our clinic, we have introduced CT to examine the shape of the root canal and the surrounding tissue in more detail. CT scans allow us to discover the existence of root canals that have been overlooked at other clinics and accurately grasp the condition of lesions at the end of the root.
Use rubber dam to reduce risk of recurrence
A rubber dam is a device that covers the parts of the mouth other than the teeth to be treated with a thin rubber membrane to prevent bacteria in saliva from getting into the teeth to be treated. By using a rubber dam, the risk of recurrence can be significantly reduced.
Using a microscope, the condition of the root canal can be accurately grasped during treatment
As mentioned above, the root canal is curved in a complex way, so it is difficult to accurately grasp the condition with the naked eye during treatment. Therefore, at our clinic, we use a microscope that can magnify the view up to 20 times that of the naked eye. This allows us to accurately remove contaminated areas.
Nickel-titanium files are used to thoroughly remove the contaminated pulp
In root canal treatment, contaminated pulp is removed using a needle-shaped instrument called a "file." Compared to the stainless steel files commonly used in Japan, nickel-titanium files are flexible and can penetrate deep into the complex shaped root canals.
MTA cement is used to firmly seal the root canal after nerve removal
Root canal treatment involves a process called "root canal filling," in which the cavity left after the nerve is removed is disinfected and sealed. Precision root canal treatment can use a superior material (filling agent) called MTA cement, which has stronger sealing properties and antibacterial effects than those used in insurance treatment.
We cooperate with specialized clinics for root canal treatment
Our clinic is affiliated with the Matsuura Dental Clinic Endodontics Department, a clinic run by Dr. Akira Matsuura, an American-certified endodontist who completed the postgraduate specialist course in endodontics at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
Matsuura Dental Clinic Endodontics Department is an elective root canal treatment clinic and is a specialist in preserving natural teeth.

Relieve anxiety
Relax and treat.
Laughing gas anesthesia provided.
Nitrous oxide anesthesia involves inhaling a gas called "laughing gas" through the nose, which has the effect of putting you into a relaxed state, making you less likely to feel anxiety, tension, fear, or pain during treatment. It makes you feel slightly drunk, which may be hard to imagine, but it is by no means dangerous. After nitrous oxide anesthesia, local anesthesia is administered by injection, which can significantly reduce stress during treatment.
The world's highest peak
Dental technology is here
Tokushinkai Group has its own dental laboratory department, "World Lab," with over 200 experts with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Among them, the high-quality department, Ultimate Styles, which is staffed with top-class dental technicians, has many excellent technicians active on a global level, including Naoki Hayashi and Hirotomo Tada.
What a Meister who is active on the world stage can do
In this case, the upper front and back teeth were created by Hayashi Naoki, restoring a beautiful smile. You can see that the finish is so natural that it is indistinguishable from natural teeth. The subtle color and shape of the artificial teeth are determined by the dental technician's design sense. It is precisely because he is a master craftsman active on the world stage that he is able to achieve a finish that is natural and beautiful in appearance, and that anyone would recognize as being just like natural teeth.

Founded 45 years ago with "team medical care" About the Tokushinkai Medical Corporation Group
The Tokushinkai Group began in 1981 in the former Niitsu City, Niigata Prefecture (now Akiha Ward, Niigata City), a small rural town with a population of about 6.
We started out as a typical small dental clinic with three treatment units and six staff members, but since our founding we have always strived to provide patient-centered dental care.
Furthermore, ever since our founding, we have had doubts about the outdated dental industry, and with the aim of "creating the world's best dental group," we have sought to break away from an industry dependent on the state and instead build an organization that contributes to the nation.
As of September 45, 2025 years after our founding, we have grown into an organization with 10 locations around the world, employing over 102 staff members representing 10 nationalities.
Within Japan, we are one of the largest dental medical groups, treating approximately 0.3 patients per year, which is equivalent to approximately 70% of the total number of dental patients in the nation.
Additionally, in the field of dental technology, we have manufacturing bases and design centers in Japan, the United States (LA, Dallas), Myanmar, and Thailand (Bangkok), and are involved in the manufacture of dental prostheses for countries all over the world.
The Tokushinkai Group will continue to develop people and organizations that will help bring back confidence and vitality to Japan through the field of dentistry.
