U Dental Office

About

Located on the 2nd floor of Ebisu Blume in Tokyo's Ebisu district, 'U Dental Office' is a dental clinic led by Dr. Takehiro Ogawa, who holds certifications from both the Japanese Society of Periodontology and the Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. With extensive expertise, he serves as a lecturer for implant and GBR courses at Morita Corporation and as a visiting researcher in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Keio University Hospital. The clinic's guiding philosophy is 'fundamental treatment rather than symptomatic care,' offering comprehensive services including cavity and periodontal treatment, precision root canal therapy, vital pulp therapy (VPT), implants, orthodontics, ceramic restorations, gummy smile correction, and whitening. A distinctive strength is their focus on periodontal plastic surgery and bone/tissue regeneration techniques such as GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) and sinus lifts. They frequently accept cases deemed untreatable at other facilities—patients told they 'cannot save the tooth' or that 'implants are impossible due to insufficient bone'—with Dr. Ogawa having internationally presented innovative tooth-preserving surgical techniques in English-language publications. The clinic maintains a team-based approach where board-certified specialists handle their respective fields of expertise, with staff dentist Dr. Tanaka obtaining Japanese Society of Periodontology certification in 2025. For patients with surgical anxiety, sedation treatment administered by an anesthesiologist is available on an outpatient basis. The clinic takes a comprehensive approach to oral health, providing thorough pre-treatment explanations of current conditions, treatment plans, and expected outcomes, while documenting procedures through photographs and videos to ensure transparent care. They voluntarily participate in patient satisfaction surveys conducted by the NPO Japan Dental Care Evaluation Organization, demonstrating commitment to objectively improving healthcare quality. Payment methods include credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. The clinic is open Monday through Sunday (closed Thursdays and holidays) with evening hours available, making it convenient for working professionals to schedule appointments.
