Addressing Doubts About Dental Treatment: New 60-Minute Second Opinion Program by a US-Certified Prosthodontist in Nagoya

Eden Dental Office (Naka-ku, Nagoya, Director: Ryosuke Murai) will launch a '60-Minute Second Opinion Outpatient Service' (5,500 JPY, available in-person or online) on July 1, 2026, supervised by Director Murai, a US-certified prosthodontist. This service aims to provide a neutral forum for patients seeking fair, third-party perspectives on their dental care.

What is Prosthodontics? Prosthodontics focuses on restoring lost teeth, chewing function, and aesthetics. In the United States, it is a specialty officially recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA), requiring the completion of a three-year specialty program at a CODA-accredited graduate school.

Background While approximately 1.3 billion dental treatments occur annually in Japan, many patients feel underserved regarding treatment plan discussions, especially for high-cost, long-term options like implants or ceramic procedures. Conventional 'free initial consultations' are often geared towards recruiting patients for the clinic, failing to address the need for impartial second opinions.

Service Overview - Name: 60-Minute Second Opinion Outpatient Service - Fee: 5,500 JPY (tax included, prepaid. Deductible from treatment costs if a elective treatment appointment is made at the clinic). - Format: In-person or Online (Zoom). - Start Date: July 1, 2026. - Feature: Provides impartial opinions from a neutral, third-party perspective. Consultations for patients who intend to continue treatment with their current doctor are also welcomed.
