About
Hori Dental Clinic is a dental clinic located in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It offers general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontics, with a wide range of treatments including periodontal disease care, implants, orthodontic treatment, whitening, cosmetic dentistry, and temporomandibular joint disorders. A defining feature of the clinic is its strong emphasis on the prevention, treatment, and management of periodontal disease. The director, Dr. Katsutoshi Hori, holds a doctorate in dentistry and serves as a certified member and councilor of the Japanese Society of Oral Rehabilitation, and has held positions including academic director and Kyushu branch chief of the Japanese Society of Dental Oriental Medicine. The clinic's philosophy is founded on the principle of "avoiding extraction, nerve removal, and unnecessary tooth reduction as much as possible," with a focus on healthcare that considers not only oral health but overall systemic wellbeing. The clinic serves patients of a wide age range, from infants to individuals over 100 years old, and also offers home visit dental care, making it accessible to patients who have difficulty visiting in person. The integration of oriental medicine into treatment is another distinctive aspect of the clinic. English-speaking services are available, a parking lot is provided on-site, and consultations are accepted from 8:30 a.m.
