Araki Dental Clinic
About
Located next to Tsuruha in the Tetsutou Shopping Center in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Araki Dental Clinic opened in 2005 as a community-based dental practice. With general dentistry and pediatric dentistry as its foundation, the clinic offers a wide range of services including periodontal treatment, implants, teeth whitening, removable orthodontics, TMJ treatment, and aesthetic dentistry, catering to patients from young children to the elderly. The clinic's treatment philosophy is built on three core principles: 'minimize pain,' 'avoid extraction whenever possible,' and 'minimize drilling.' For early-stage cavities, the clinic prioritizes observation over immediate drilling, and actively incorporates periodontal treatment, root canal therapy, and when necessary, tooth replantation and transplantation to preserve patients' natural teeth for as long as possible. The clinic also emphasizes creating a comfortable environment focused on reducing pain and promoting mental relaxation during treatment. The director graduated from Hokkaido University School of Dentistry and completed specialized training in prosthodontics at the same university's graduate school, and is a member of the Japan Academy of Osseointegration. The clinic provides English-speaking services, accepts various credit cards (JCB, VISA, Diners, American Express) and electronic money (transportation IC, iD, Rakuten Edy, etc.), and has on-site parking. Extended hours until 7:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays make it convenient for patients visiting after work.
