Dr. Ando, who has experience as an anesthesia injection instructor, provides careful verbal guidance and controlled technique to ensure even patients who are sensitive to pain can receive treatment with peace of mind. In terms of equipment, the clinic has dental CT and digital X-ray systems, enabling precise diagnostic examinations using 3D imaging to confirm the position of nerves and blood vessels as well as jawbone thickness. Infection control measures are also strictly implemented, with appropriate sterilization equipment for different instruments and medical-grade air purifiers maintaining a clean environment.
