By experienced doctors
Implant treatment
The director performs implant treatment on approximately 50 cases every year and has ample experience in the treatment. In addition, the Tokushinkai Group regularly holds implant training sessions, and he actively learns about new treatment methods and more.
Fully equipped surgery room for a safe operation system
It is used for microendodontic and implant surgery, periodontal surgery, etc. Not only is it completely sterilized, but we also have many of the latest surgical equipment available, so you can have your surgery with peace of mind.
Qualified childcare workers,
Temporary storage
In order to allow parents who have children and find it difficult to visit the dental clinic to do so, we provide free temporary childcare services by qualified childcare workers during treatment. In addition, the childcare workers themselves have the opportunity to learn about children's dentistry, such as MFT (Oral Myofunctional Therapy), through in-house training. We can discuss these topics with you when we look after your children, so if you would like to use this service, please let us know when you make your reservation.

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Furthermore, ever since our founding, we have had doubts about the outdated dental industry, and with the aim of "creating the world's best dental group," we have sought to break away from an industry dependent on the state and instead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, 2026 years after our founding, we have grown into an organization with 1 locations around the world, employing over 98 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.
