Akao Dental Clinic
About
Akao Dental Clinic, located in Nishihara Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a dental practice supporting the oral health of local residents in the nature-rich Aso region. The clinic operates weekday morning and afternoon sessions, offers Saturday morning appointments, and is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Services include cavity treatment, dental implants, and wisdom tooth extraction. For wisdom tooth extraction, thorough consultations and X-rays are conducted, with dental CT scans used for precise examination and diagnosis when necessary. This equipment enables detailed assessment of the patient's condition and the development of appropriate treatment plans. The clinic also emphasizes preventive care, noting that as cavities progress from the enamel surface to the inner dentin, symptoms such as sensitivity to cold and hot foods emerge—encouraging patients to seek care before pain develops. During consultations, the clinic listens carefully to each patient's concerns and does not push unnecessary treatments, instead working together to establish treatment plans that patients can fully understand and accept. Multilingual support is available, including English and Korean. The facility includes a parking lot and is barrier-free, accommodating patients arriving by car or using wheelchairs.
