Private, self-pay practice in Azabudai (Minato-ku) built around US-trained dentists: the team page names four dentists holding degrees from New York University, UCLA and Tokyo Medical and Dental University, with a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a board-certified periodontist among them.
