Matsuoka Chuo Dental
About
Located just a 5-minute walk from the Nijo-16-cho Streetcar Station on the West Line in Minami 16-jo, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Matsuoka Central Dental Clinic is a community-focused dental practice. The clinic's core philosophy centers on "alleviating patient anxiety and pain," with a strong emphasis on painless treatments. They have introduced nitrous oxide inhalation sedation, which helps calm fear and anxiety simply by inhaling through the nose, creating a considerate environment for those who dislike dental treatments or are sensitive to pain. Additionally, by actively incorporating advanced equipment such as high-precision Nd:YAG laser devices and plasma arc irradiators, they have achieved shorter treatment times. Appointments are required, and the clinic demonstrates careful attention to waiting time, with TVs and books available in the waiting area and treatment rooms. They also provide thoughtful care for families with small children, featuring special video screenings in the treatment room and post-treatment rewards to help children feel comfortable visiting. English-speaking staff are available, parking is provided, and the clinic is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and holidays.
