Karibe Dental & Orthodontics
About
Located in Kamihoshikawa, Hodogaya-ku, Yokohama City, this dental clinic offers services such as English support and parking facilities for local residents. Founded in 1947, the clinic has a long history, relocating over the years. After moving to its current location in 1973, it operated an orthodontic clinic in front of Hoshikawa Station for 40 years before adopting its current name. Treatment services are extensive, including cavities, dentures, periodontal treatment, preventive dentistry, dental checkups, teeth cleaning, and orthodontics. For cavity treatment, the clinic performs emergency pain relief followed by cause analysis, providing early-stage lifestyle guidance and brushing training to preserve natural teeth as much as possible. In periodontal treatment, they emphasize that prevention is paramount, recommending consistent visits for advanced cases. For orthodontics, they prioritize lifelong oral health over mere aesthetic appeal, moving natural teeth gradually to achieve a stable bite.
