Consultation System

Objectives of Consultation

Our objectives in providing consultation are to “improve the QOL*” of patients, guardians, and caretakers through oral health, and to realize our goal for “good-quality dental care in a familiar place to be available for anyone, anywhere, at any time.”

*QOL…Quality of spirit, lifestyle, and life

Consultation System (Consultation Flow)

At our center, we strive for oral health management by working with local areas so that patients can visit their local dental clinics in the future.
Dental treatments are on a rotating basis where different dentists and dental hygienists will be serving every time.
We take treatment/preventive measures and transition to periodic check-ups by making use of intervals between hospital visits after the patient’s oral cavity has stabilized. Depending on the patient’s situation after transitioning to periodic check-ups, we will introduce them to local dental institutions that work with our center.

First-time Consultation

We will ask about the patient’s reason for visit, degree of disability, and day-to-day lifestyle.
Then, we will examine the patient’s mouth, and explain how and for what aims future consultations will progress.

Cooperation with Local Dental Care Institutions

We cooperate with primary care dentists so persons with special needs can receive care at ease at a familiar place in their communities.

Our center


We refer patients who we believe can receive care from another local dentist to local dental care institutions fit for the patients and their families.
If you come to the Center by referral from a local dentist, you may return to your primary care dentist once you become accustomed to receiving dental care.
