Hirata Dental Clinic
About
Hirata Dental Clinic, located in Michisanmachi, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, has been providing community-rooted dental care for over 50 years since its founding in 1972. Under the leadership of Dr. Kazunari Hirata—who holds a doctorate from Nagasaki University School of Dentistry and specializes in oral surgery—the clinic is guided by the philosophy of "enabling patients to chew with their own teeth as much as possible," with a treatment approach focused on maximizing the preservation of natural teeth rather than relying on extractions or tooth reduction. All staff members are nationally licensed dental hygienists, delivering professional and attentive care ranging from thorough guidance during cleanings to monitoring subtle changes in the oral cavity. The clinic is equipped with the state-of-the-art CAD/CAM system CEREC (inLab MC X5), enabling high-precision, rapid fabrication of ceramic and zirconia prosthetics in-house. Same-day in-house repairs of dentures and crowns are also available. The clinic offers a broad range of services including periodontal disease prevention guidance, oral surgery, implants, and teeth whitening, and many patients spanning three generations—from children to the elderly—are said to visit regularly. English-language support is available, and the clinic features parking and barrier-free facilities, making it easily accessible to a wide range of patients.
