Okamoto Dental Clinic
About
Okamoto Dental Clinic, located in Uchihonmachi, Yamatotakada City, Nara Prefecture, is conveniently accessible from multiple train lines: approximately 5 minutes on foot from Takada Station on the JR Wakayama Line, and about 10 minutes on foot from both Yamatotakada Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line and Takadashi Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line. With over 100 years of history since its establishment, the clinic has long supported dental healthcare in the local community. A distinctive feature is that the clinic director is a female dentist, creating a welcoming environment for patients who may feel nervous with male dentists or hesitant about showing their oral cavity. Many staff members have parenting experience, and the clinic places emphasis on preventive dentistry for young children. Its proximity to Takada Elementary School and local kindergartens makes it easy for families to visit together. The clinic offers a wide range of services primarily under insurance coverage and emphasizes proposing care methods tailored to each patient's lifestyle, rather than simply providing treatment. It meets facility standards for comprehensive dental treatment management fees, enabling appropriate care for patients with systemic conditions under proper management. Additionally, it complies with Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare standards for medical safety, ensuring emergency response protocols are in place. Clinic hours are 9:20 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2:30 PM, with afternoon sessions until 5:00 PM except Wednesdays, which extend until 6:00 PM. The clinic is closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. English assistance is available, credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, and parking for four vehicles is provided.
