Jiro Dental Clinic
About
Located in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, Jiro Dental Clinic is a dental practice dedicated to supporting the long-term oral health of local residents. Director Dr. Jiro Okuyama graduated from the Nippon Dental University School of Life Dentistry at Niigata, and after completing clinical training at Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital and working at clinics in the city, he established this clinic in 2013. Guided by the philosophy that "teeth are vital organs used throughout a lifetime," the clinic prioritizes treatments that patients can fully understand and accept rather than merely providing temporary relief. The staff strives to provide attentive care that goes beyond the typical healthcare provider-patient relationship, treating patients like family. Considering the unique characteristics of the region—mountainous terrain, heavy snowfall, and a car-dependent society—the clinic offers a free shuttle service by advance reservation for patients who have difficulty visiting the clinic. Additionally, through collaboration with "Kamoshika Hospital" and "Nursing Care Health Facility Ippuku," operated by the medical corporation Shitada, the clinic applies extensive experience in geriatric medicine and nursing care to dental treatment, establishing a system that enables comprehensive care through close cooperation between medical and dental professionals. With a parking lot and barrier-free facilities, the clinic provides an accessible environment for various patients and is widely used by people of all generations as a trusted dental practice rooted in the community.
