About
Shin Dental Clinic, located in Tanigami Higashi-machi, Kita-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a dental practice situated along Arima Kaido, approximately a 5-minute walk from both Tanigami Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line and the Tanigami Station bus stop on Hankyu Bus. Dr. Shinichi Kozai, the clinic director, holds qualifications as a dentist, nurse, and public health nurse, and is known for providing treatment from a perspective that connects oral health with overall systemic health. The clinic allocates approximately 60 minutes for initial consultations, conducting thorough oral examinations and providing detailed explanations of treatment plans. A key characteristic of their approach is a strong emphasis on informed consent—ensuring patients fully understand and accept the treatment before any procedures such as drilling are performed. For early-stage cavities, the clinic avoids unnecessary drilling and considers approaches that allow for potential remineralization through proper care and monitoring. In addition to general dentistry, the clinic offers dentures, periodontal treatment, and cosmetic dentistry, taking a comprehensive approach that considers overall oral balance and bite alignment rather than focusing solely on localized treatment. The clinic prioritizes infection control by replacing instruments for each patient and utilizing extraoral suction systems and medical-grade air purifiers. English-speaking services are available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments. With five parking spaces and a barrier-free design, the facility offers a highly accessible environment. The clinic operates on a reservation-priority system to minimize patient wait times.
