Medical Corporation Apple Dental Clinic, Official Partner of Vissel Kobe, Opens "VISSEL Oral Care Clinic" in Sannomiya

Apple Dental Clinic (President: Tetsuro Yoshimi), in collaboration with SCO Group Co., Ltd. and Rakuten Vissel Kobe Co., Ltd., opened "VISSEL Oral Care Clinic" in Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture on March 24, 2026.

This clinic is a preventive care space established within Sannomiya Apple Dental Clinic as part of the "Oral Care Project," which aims to widely promote the importance of oral health through sports. Through collaboration with the football club Vissel Kobe, we have created a space where people can feel more familiar with dental clinics, providing an opportunity for local residents to proactively engage in oral care.

The clinic's interior features a special design incorporating Vissel Kobe's club colors and emblem, creating an environment where patients, including supporters and fans, can feel a close connection to their local Kobe football club while visiting. We aim to be a new community-based oral care hub that is easily accessible for local residents to continuously maintain their dental health.

Background of Establishment

The health of teeth and mouth is an important factor related to daily eating, conversation, and overall systemic health. On the other hand, dental clinics tend to be perceived as places to go only "when there's pain," and regular check-ups and preventive care are often postponed.

Therefore, Apple Dental Clinic, in collaboration with SCO Group and Vissel Kobe, has decided to work on creating a dental clinic where oral care can feel more familiar, leveraging the power of sports. By establishing an environment that is appealing to supporters and local residents, we aim to encourage regular visits and raise awareness of preventive care.
