About treatment costs

So that patients can feel at ease about their treatment, we take time to explain the cost before treatment begins.

We explain the cost of both insured and private treatment in plain terms, and only start treatment once you are satisfied. If you have any questions or concerns about cost, please do not hesitate to ask.

Estimated cost of insured treatment and the first-visit fee

The first-visit cost for insured treatment (treatment covered by health insurance) is roughly ¥3,000–¥5,000, based on a 30% co-payment under health insurance.

The cost varies depending on the condition of your mouth and the treatment involved. We will explain the details at your appointment.

Your co-payment share under insured treatment

• 30% co-payment: general patients (ages 6–69)
• 20% co-payment: ages 70–74
• 10% co-payment: ages 75 and older (the Late-Stage Elderly Healthcare System)

If you have an infant medical subsidy certificate, single-parent family medical subsidy certificate, or similar, please show it at reception.

If the medical expenses you have paid in a year (January 1 to December 31) exceed ¥100,000, you can receive an income tax deduction by filing a final tax return.

About dental loans

This is a system in which a financial institution pays your dental treatment cost on your behalf, and you repay the financial institution in installments.

About issuing receipts and treatment statements

We issue a receipt and a treatment statement to every patient. The treatment statement lists in detail the treatment performed and the materials used, and you can also use it when claiming the medical expense deduction.
