Hello everyone! We are specialists practicing dentistry in Nakanoshima, Osaka.My
name is MotohiroOtsuki and I work as a specialist of Periodontology/Implantology,certified
by EFP (http://www.efp.org/).
I studied periodontology at the department of periodontics at the university of
Gothenburg in Sweden for 3 years , in order to be a specialist of periodontics.Dr.
Toshihiro Ushikubo,who studied endodontology for 2 yearsat the department of Endodonticsat
the university of Pennsylvania in the U.S. made a strong partnership in order
to spread evidence-based dentistry in Japan and to providehigh quality global
standard treatments to our patients. We, as specialists, think that there are
few clinics that can provide satisfactory treatments to patients who come from
abroad.
Many of my friends have many friends who come from abroad, said that they
were afraid of seeing dentists in Japan due to the difficulty of communicating
with Japanese dentists in English. We would like to be a clinic that is really
friendly to patients. We can provide specialized and customizedtreatment for each
patient from basic to advanced level treatment.
Our strong and unshakable philosophy is “Save your teeth”. Nowadays, there are
many teeth being extracted which we may save rather than providing unnecessary
treatment or replacement. For example, other dentists may extract your teeth and
install dental implants but… “We” can save your teeth based on
our precise diagnosis and highly skilled techniques which have been established
through many years of training. In fact,dental implants can satisfy and give relief
to many patients who have lost their oral function. Yes, it is truethat dental
implants supported by plenty of evidence arevery good tools for oral rehabilitation.
However, there is no scientific evidence stating,“ An Implant is better than a
tooth.” Our first mission is “Save your teeth”,so we are trying our best to achieve
it. Since our teeth are a gift, why don`t you seek the chance to keep them?
Here at DUO Osaka Dental Clinic , We can all speak English.Please do not hesitate
to come in our clinic and contact us. You are most welcome!
Sincerely yours,
DUO dental clinic director, Specialist of Periodontology: MotohiroOtsuki
