Hanaoka Dental Clinic
About
Hanaoka Dental Clinic, located in Shinchi-cho, Gose City, Nara Prefecture, is a community-focused dental practice offering comprehensive dental care. A distinctive feature of this clinic is its commitment to "health promotion." This approach goes beyond simply treating dental problems; it emphasizes supporting patients in maintaining and improving their oral health. During regular check-ups, the focus is not only on early disease detection but also on confirming that good oral health is maintained, thereby encouraging patients' motivation for self-care. The clinic director, Dr. Shigeki Hanaoka, is a Doctor of Dental Surgery who graduated from Osaka Dental University. In addition to preventive dentistry, he specializes in prosthodontics, offering various options including silicone linings, titanium materials, and clasp-free dentures. The clinic also focuses on temporomandibular joint disorder treatment, providing a systematic approach through bite adjustment, night guards, splint therapy, and medication as needed. Aesthetic procedures such as home whitening and tooth coating are also available, handled by experienced dental hygienists. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. English-speaking support is available, and the clinic has a parking lot, making it convenient for patients visiting by car.
