Takasu Okabayashi Dental
About
Takasu Okabayashi Dental Clinic, located in Takasu, Kochi City, is a community-based dental practice serving the local area. Director Dr. Shigeyoshi Okabayashi completed graduate studies in crown and bridge prosthodontics at Tokyo Dental College, gaining clinical experience in Tokyo, Chiba, and Kochi before establishing the clinic. He also serves as a part-time lecturer at Tokyo Dental College, bringing a high level of expertise to patient care. The clinic covers a broad range of dental services beyond cavity treatment, including periodontal disease prevention, maintenance, pediatric dentistry, and oral surgery, with a system in place to support long-term care for patients of all ages, from children to the elderly. In terms of equipment, the clinic is equipped with a microscope offering up to 80x magnification, a dental X-ray CT scanner, a CAD/CAM system, and two types of dental lasers — CO2 and Er:YAG — enabling highly precise diagnosis and treatment. An in-house dental laboratory staffed by a full-time dental technician allows for prompt fabrication and repair of dentures and crowns. Visiting dental care is available for elderly patients or those with difficulty traveling to the clinic. English-language support and on-site parking are also provided for added convenience. The clinic operates an appointment-priority system to minimize waiting times, with online booking available 24 hours a day.
