Koshimune Family Dental Clinic
About
Koshimune Family Dental Clinic is located in Itsukaiichi, Akaiwa City, Okayama Prefecture, situated approximately 6 kilometers north of Seto Station on the JR Sanyo Main Line and just steps from the Itsukaiichi-kami bus stop on the Uno Bus Mimasaka Line. The clinic's director, Dr. Shinjiro Koshimune, holds a Doctor of Dental Science degree with a specialization in preventive dentistry from the Graduate School of Kyushu Dental University. Under the philosophy of moving "from cure to care," the clinic places strong emphasis on preventive-focused treatment aimed at avoiding cavities and periodontal disease. The clinic is committed to thorough informed consent using photographs and diagrams, explaining the current state of the patient's oral health, treatment plans, costs, and timelines in detail before proceeding with any treatment. In terms of equipment, the clinic features digital X-rays that significantly reduce radiation exposure, a low-pain electric anesthesia device, and the DIAGNOdent laser system capable of detecting cavities at their earliest stages. An intraoral camera allows patients to compare before-and-after images, making it easy to follow the progress of their treatment. The interior features a calming wood-based design, with treatment rooms laid out with privacy in mind. The clinic provides a 7-space parking lot with each space offering approximately 3 meters of width for comfortable access. The entire facility from the parking lot through the waiting room to the treatment rooms is barrier-free, allowing wheelchair users to enter the treatment area directly. English-language support is available, and a staff team including four dental hygienists provides a wide range of services from preventive to general dentistry.
