Hikarigaoka Dental Clinic

About

Hikagaoka Dental Clinic is located in Hikagaoka, Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, providing community-based dental care. The clinic welcomes patients from a wide area including Tajimi City, Kani City, and Toki City, serving patients of all ages from children to the elderly. One of the clinic's defining features is its thorough commitment to hygiene management. All instruments are processed using a Class B high-pressure steam sterilizer — the highest standard in sterilization equipment — and gloves, engines, and handpiece motors are changed between each patient to ensure strict infection control. In terms of equipment, the clinic is outfitted with dental CT scanners, simulation software, cephalometric imaging for orthodontic diagnosis, and nitrous oxide sedation, supporting high-precision diagnosis and treatment. Prior to treatment, informed consent is carefully carried out in a dedicated counseling room, creating an environment where patients can proceed with full understanding and confidence. Treatment rooms are private or semi-private, with careful consideration given to patient privacy. A dedicated treatment room for children is also available, featuring a kids' play area and a grand piano, designed to help children who feel anxious about dental chairs grow comfortable through a playful experience. English-language services are available, making it easy for patients who prefer consultations in languages other than Japanese to seek care. The clinic provides a spacious parking lot with 13 spaces, accommodating patients arriving by car. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays as closed days.
