Our goal is to provide the best treatment options that is unique to all individuals. We also emphasize in clear communications between our staff and our patients, thereby creating an environment that is comfortable for all of our patients to receive treatments
We first review the medical history to make sure that the patients are healthy enough to receive dental treatments. We also review the current oral hygiene of patients. After taking the necessary x-rays and periodontal probing depths, we present the treatment plan to the patient. After discussing the different treatment options, we finalize on what would work best for the patient. We strongly emphasize on the clear communication at this point so that patients are comfortable with proceeding to the treatment.
During the treatment, we explain in detail of what is going to happen. Thereby relieving patients of any anxiety about the uncertainty of what will happen during the treatment. We also give details if any possible post operative complications might be present.
After all the treatments are done, we advise patients to be placed on the maintenance program. At the recall visit, we explain about how patients can take better care of their oral hygiene. By having patients understand how dental complications can occur, they can take better care of their oral conditions.

Dr. Morita has been my dentist for the past few years. Before becoming his patient, I used to see dentists who would rush through the exams and cleanings. However, once I became a patient at Morita Dental, I noticed Dr. Morita takes his time with the examination and dental work, and his dental hygienist is very thorough and does not rush at all. The dentist is very detail oriented, honest, and takes great care of my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Morita to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and outstanding dentist.

(Translated by Google) It's the worst dental clinic that preys on expatriate Japanese. We recommend that you choose another clinic as your home doctor. (Original) Zhu Zai Ri Ben Ren woShi iWu nisuru, Zui Di naChi Ke Yi Yuan desu. zehiBie noYi Yuan wohomudokutanisurukotowooQuan meshimasu.

(Translated by Google) A year ago, my 4-year-old daughter was treated for dental caries. After that, when I had a regular examination of cavities in Japan, it was discovered that the nerves of the teeth that had been taken and buried by Morita Dental were completely dead. The cause was that Morita Dental did not remove the cavities and buried them. When removing cavities and filling them, make sure that you have removed the cavities. This time, I completely lost one of my child's teeth. Last year, I had a dentist Morita treat my 4-year-old daughter for dental caries. When I had a regular dental examination in Japan this year, the nerves of the teeth treated by Morita Dental were completely dead.

I recently switched to Morita dental after having a great experience with my previous dentist in a different area. I have been consistently impressed with the professional experience at Morita dental. Parking is convenient, the office is clean and bright, and the staff is very welcoming. Dr. Morita is a skilled professional and takes the time to visit with me and keep me up to date on the status of my health. You can tell he is genuinely interested in his patients. I especially appreciate the skill with which he handles my teeth. Each movement is precise and measured, exactly what I would expect from a highly trained medical professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Morita and his team. They have been great for me.

I highly recommend Dr. Morita for young kids. I brought my 4 and 5 year olds who had previous trauma from a different clinic. Dr Morita was very communicative and extra gentle so that the kids felt totally comfortable. He also gave us parents a lot of information about our kids individual dental health that we never received elsewhere. Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) We were told that our insurance was out of Morita Dental's network, but since it was a checkup, there was no copayment, so we made an appointment for our child's checkup. At the time of visiting the hospital, our insurance covers 100% of the examination, but we reconfirmed that there would be no out-of-network Morita Dentist charges, but the receptionist said "No". , underwent a medical examination of the child. However, you are responsible for all claims from your insurance company. When I checked with the insurance company, Morita Dental's billing error was discovered. I would like to request it again, but there was a partial co-payment. He didn't give me a satisfactory explanation about that either, and said, "Please see the website of your insurance company." This is an absolutely unreliable dental office.
