A dental technician lab that our patients can see, Labo Intec

Inaba Dental Office has an onsite dental technician lab called Labo Intec. This dental technician lab can be viewed from the waiting room and patients can see how dentures are made.

Our dental technician, Kiyotaka Takagi makes dentures for our patients there. It is a small laboratory but there are many precision devices within, giving the room the look of an airplane cockpit.

Taking hints from a Swiss clockmaker's factory
At a Swiss clock making factory that Dr. Inaba happened upon once, customers were able to view the inside of the factory. He took this hint from 30 years ago and decided to incorporate this style into our clinic.

It is a wonderful system that builds trust with our patients since they are relieved to be able to see the face of the dental technician making their dentures.

Onsite Dental Technician, Kiyotaka Takagi

A veteran dental technician who has made more than 2,000 dentures for patients
Our onsite dental technician, Kiyotaka Takagi, has been with us for more than 20 years. Takagi has been specializing in telescope system dentures under Shigeru Inaba (current advisor) at Inaba Dental Office ever since it was located in Dentsuin, Bunkyo Ward.

He is a veteran dental technician who had made more than 2,000 dentures for our patients. One of the merits of the telescope system is that once a set of dentures are made, they can continue to be used for a long time with slight adjustments. But during the very few times when patients need to come in for adjustments, Takagi quickly remembers the patient's face.

His specialty is German telescope system dentures
Takagi specializes in German telescope system dentures. It takes time to make a set of telescope system dentures, but they are well worth the wait.

Onsite dental technician, Kiyotaka Takagi, tells us that he likes working on full jaw Riegel telescope dentures the best because it is easy to make the colors and shapes on his own and he feels a real sense of satisfaction in his work when they are done.

He was taught directly by Dr. Inaba Shigeru directly about the telescope system which the doctor brought back from Germany. This is the so-called orthodox version of the technology. Currently, he is also a demonstration lecturer for the IPSG Society.

The doctors are very relieved to have him on staff and leave all of the craftsmanship concerning patients' teeth in his hands.

Merits of the onsite dental technician office

There are great merits for the patients and the doctors to have an onsite dental lab and an onsite dental technician.

Things checked for when making dentures
+ shape of teeth, color
+ firm fit
+ no wiggling
+ ease of pronunciation
+ condition of bite alignment

In order to make dentures that fit just right, it is important to ask the patients what they hope to achieve and what worries they have. It is often the case that patients are not used to their dentures the first time they put them in. There can be slight discomfort or pain. By making slight adjustments, we can make dentures that fit just right.

Detailed slight adjustments are possible to take care of even minor discomfort
We are able to quickly make detailed slight adjustments to take care of even minor discomfort because our dental technicians are located onsite. Also, it is a great help that information exchange concerning tooth shape, color, denture design, and other such information can be easily facilitated between the doctors and technicians.

The doctors and dental technicians work in cooperation at our clinic and because of this, they are able to make dentures that fit our patients perfectly. The partnership between the doctors and the technicians is extremely important.
