DUO Osaka dental clinic
- Save your teeth-


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
DUO dental clinic co-director, Specialist of Endodontics : Toshihiro Ushikubo
