Hello.
This is E-Comfort Dental Clinic.
When patients visit our dental clinic,
we first help with check-in at the front desk.
When we ask why they came in, some people
answer like this:
The clinic where I got my implant disappeared..
I kept putting up with the pain.
The clinic where I’m getting root canal treatment sent me a text saying it’s closing.
I’m still under treatment, so I came because I was worried.
Every time we meet patients like this,
we realize that so-called “runaway dental clinics”
really do exist around us.
What makes these situations unfortunate is
that you can feel all the negative emotions patients experience,
such as anxiety, hardship, and helplessness.
When a dental clinic suddenly disappears like this,
patients have to bear everything themselves.
In the case of treatments like implants,
where regular follow-up care after treatment is important,
it can affect the lifespan of the implant,
and in cases where treatment is divided into stages,
like root canal treatment,
if the clinic disappears before treatment is fully completed,
patients have to visit another place all over again.
The time, extra costs,
and inconvenience that arise in the process
all become the patient’s burden.
So the most important thing is
that when you first choose a dental clinic,
you should look for one that does not disappear easily
and operates for a long time.

If you want to avoid being harmed,
make sure to know this!
Except in cases of closure due to unavoidable reasons,
such as health-related issues,
if a clinic emphasizes only excessively low costs
or presents unrealistic conditions, such as promising to complete treatment within a short period,
you should be careful.
Also, if the treatment cost is excessively low
or treatment is carried out without sufficient explanation,
there is a possibility that follow-up care will be insufficient,
so you should make a careful judgment.
You should check whether the treatment process and cost information are transparent,
and whether the attending medical staff’s treatment philosophy and clinical experience
are clearly explained.
And...
Whether they have provided treatment in one location for a long time,
and whether they have a good reputation within the local community.
You must be sure to check these things.
You may ask,
“What’s wrong with being able to do an expensive treatment cheaply?”
I would like to answer that question like this.
There is a reason why something is expensive.
Some of the consultation booklet content handed out to implant patients
Let’s use implants as an example.
Among implant materials,
you’ve probably heard of Osstem Implant, the best-known one, right?
Did you know that Osstem Implant
also has grades?
Osstem Implant is divided into
SA - CA - BA - SOI grades.
Among these, the best grade is the SOI grade.
The photo above is part of the consultation booklet
that we actually hand out to patients at our clinic.
As stated in the consultation booklet,
we use SOI-grade implants.
Naturally, the higher the grade,
the better the treatment prognosis.
If you don’t know where to go,
choose an “older dental clinic” first
E-Comfort Dental Clinic
has been providing treatment in the same location
for more than 10 years.
Of course, this is not true in every case.
But I think it is not information
that patients would lose out by knowing.
Rather than a place that advertises
unbelievably low prices!
Where should you go, then?
It would be nice if you could visit several dental clinics,
get consultations in person, and then decide,
but realistically, that is difficult.
So when choosing a dental clinic,
I hope you will look at its age,
that is, how long it has been around.
There are two dental clinics.
| ☑️ A place that has been providing treatment in one location for more than 10 years (e.g., E-Comfort Dental Clinic) |
|---|
| ☑️ A place that has just opened |
Which one is the dental clinic least likely to disappear easily?
It is the first clinic.
A place that has been providing treatment in one location for more than 10 years.
In today’s era of dental overexpansion,
providing treatment in one location for more than 10 years
is by no means easy.
That means it has strong ties with local residents,
and it is also proof that the dental clinic treats patients responsibly.
So I hope you will visit a place
that has been providing treatment in one location for a long time.
Providing treatment in one location for more than 10 years,
is not easy, but E-Comfort Dental Clinic is doing it.
I wrote this simply with the hope
that at least one person would find the right dental clinic,
so please refer to today’s content
and find a good place.
Thank you.
