Minato Kokai Clinic
About
Located in Ugo Town, Ogachi District, Akita Prefecture, Minato Koseikai Medical Corporation provides community-based dental care. The clinic's philosophy is 'dental care that protects not only today but also lifelong health,' emphasizing a shift away from the cycle of repeatedly drilling and filling cavities. They have adopted the scientifically-based prevention-focused 'Medical Treatment Model (MTM),' starting treatment by visualizing the current state of the oral cavity through data and photographs. The clinic's systematic approach involves explaining test results, initial treatment, and re-evaluation in stages before transitioning to long-term maintenance. They design individualized prevention programs based on patients' conditions and future aspirations, providing oral care that anticipates future risks. The facility features a spacious parking lot and barrier-free design, making it easily accessible for elderly patients and those with physical disabilities. They can provide assistance in English, accept credit cards and electronic payments, demonstrating consideration for diverse needs. The clinic is closed on Sundays, public holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, and the Obon period.
