Okada Dental Clinic, located in Higashitanaka, Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture, opened in November 2020. The director, a graduate of Tohoku University School of Dentistry, established the clinic with the vision of creating a place that not only treats cavities and periodontal disease but also enhances QOL by making eating enjoyable. The clinic caters to a wide range of patients, from infants to the elderly. They offer a diverse range of specialties including preventive dentistry, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, home visit dentistry, maternity dentistry, and aesthetic dentistry. While primarily providing insurance-based treatment, they also offer self-pay treatment for aesthetic purposes. Emphasizing painless treatment, the clinic features a kids space where families with children can feel at ease. The clinic interior walls are coated with VK-500, a special paint with antiviral, antibacterial, and deodorizing effects, maintaining a clean treatment environment. In terms of equipment, the clinic has introduced digital panoramic X-ray devices and carbon dioxide lasers, balancing precise diagnosis with reduced patient burden. The clinic also focuses on home visit dental care for elderly patients and those with mobility difficulties who find hospital visits challenging. A distinctive feature is their consistent acceptance of emergency patients since opening. In addition to English support, electronic payments, and parking, the clinic also accepts LINE reservations, demonstrating thorough consideration for creating an accessible environment.
