Family Dental Clinic
About
Family Dental Clinic, located in Samani Town, Samani District, Hokkaido, is a community-based dental practice that supports the oral health of people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Director Dr. Yoshiteru Nakawaki graduated from Hokkaido University of Health Sciences and established this clinic after gaining research and clinical experience at his alma mater and serving as branch director at clinics in Sapporo. He serves as a certified dentist and councilor of the Japanese Society of Microscopic Dentistry and as a member of the Academic Training Committee of the Japanese Society of Endodontics, contributing to local healthcare as a highly specialized professional. The clinic utilizes dental microscopes to provide high-precision treatments for procedures requiring microscopic accuracy, such as root canal treatment. The clinic also uses digital X-rays, reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to conventional methods while delivering clear image diagnosis, and employs computer-controlled painless anesthesia systems with ultra-fine needles to minimize patient burden. For patients with strong dental anxiety, conscious sedation is available to alleviate anxiety while maintaining consciousness, allowing those who tend to postpone treatment to receive necessary care. In pediatric orthodontics, the clinic is a certified facility for the 'Müshield' appliance, designed to improve anterior crossbite in the primary dentition stage, enabling early intervention orthodontic treatment. The clinic offers English-language services and features parking facilities as well as barrier-free equipment.
