When booking at TED, confirm whether your appointment is for assessment, cleaning or treatment, and what the fee includes.

Can I use insurance?

At TED, we plan your care and explain the private fees before you decide. We provide reports and certificates for international insurance claims, with reimbursement subject to your policy. Japanese public health insurance does not cover treatment here.
