Sato Dental Clinic
About
Located in a residential area of Sakanoichi, Oita City, Oita Prefecture, Sato Dental Clinic provides community-based dental care. The clinic aims to create a welcoming atmosphere that feels like visiting a friend's home, featuring a spacious waiting room with flooring and barrier-free design that makes it easily accessible for patients of all ages. The clinic offers general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and oral surgery services. General dentistry includes cavity treatment, periodontal disease treatment, sensitive teeth care, and teeth whitening. Oral surgery procedures include extractions of baby teeth and wisdom teeth, periodontal surgery, and laser treatments. In pediatric dentistry, the clinic follows an approach of easing children's anxiety before beginning treatment, allowing parents to accompany their children into the treatment room and observe the procedure. This consideration is one of the ways the clinic helps children overcome their fear of dental treatment. The clinic is equipped with carbon dioxide laser technology, CCD cameras that display the inside of the mouth, non-clasp dentures (Flexite dentures) with less visible metal parts, and ultrasonic toothbrushes. For early treatment of underbite in young children, the clinic uses a mouthpiece-style orthodontic device called Myobrace. Office hours are weekdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM, Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with Sundays and public holidays closed. A parking lot is available on-site for those arriving by car. English language support is also available. The clinic has implemented various initiatives to make dental visits enjoyable for children, such as giving rewards to young patients who do their best during treatment.
