Nishida Dental Clinic
About
Nishida Dental Clinic, located on Port Island in Chuo Ward, Kobe, offers comprehensive dental services including general dentistry, preventive dentistry, and orthodontics. Dr. Akira Nishida, the clinic's director, graduated from Meikai University School of Dentistry and opened the practice after working at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital. The clinic prioritizes early intervention, using tooth-colored fillings for minor cavities instead of metal restorations. Periodontal treatment and denture services range from insurance-covered options to metal-free clasps and metal-base dentures. Preventive care includes professional cleanings and brushing guidance to help patients maintain oral health. Orthodontic treatment is available through their affiliated specialty clinic, Nishida Orthodontics, offering free initial consultations. A key feature is home-visit dental care, serving patients in five wards—Chuo, Hyogo, Nagata, Suma, and Nada—who have difficulty traveling. At-home services include X-rays, cavity treatment, and denture fabrication and repairs comparable to in-clinic care, along with oral hygiene instruction from dental hygienists. The clinic accommodates multiple languages including English and Korean and features barrier-free facilities. Outpatient visits are by appointment, with morning hours Monday through Saturday (excluding Thursday) and afternoon hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
