Sakuma Dental Clinic
About
Located in Fuchu-cho, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, this dental clinic offers barrier-free access and on-site parking, with English-language services available. The clinic provides general dentistry, preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and teeth whitening, and has been upgrading its facilities, including renewing dental chairs. The clinic's approach involves conducting examinations at the first visit, ensuring patients receive thorough explanations and understand their treatment plan before proceeding. The clinic addresses questions and concerns as thoroughly as possible to promote understanding of treatment procedures. Post-treatment maintenance is emphasized, with a focus on creating an environment resistant to cavities and gum disease to prevent recurrence. Regarding hygiene management, all instruments used in treatment are started from a sterile state in sterilization packs, which are opened in front of patients immediately before treatment begins. The clinic distinguishes between sterilization (sterile state) and disinfection (removal of bacteria to some extent), and all handpieces for drilling teeth are fully sterilized. Clinic hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the morning and 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the afternoon, with Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and holidays being closed.
