Ujigo Dental Clinic
About
Ujigou Dental Clinic, located in Nakasho, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, has over 24 years of history since its founding. A defining feature of the clinic's philosophy is its shift from traditional treatment-focused dentistry to prevention-focused dental care. Even in treating cavities and periodontal disease, a preventive perspective is incorporated, with strong emphasis on maintenance to sustain oral health after treatment. The clinic also offers insurance-covered "Oral Function Decline Screening" for patients aged 60 and above, enabling early detection and response to declining oral function. Additionally, free monthly Thursday health classes are held, including a "Pregnancy & Parenting Orthodontics Class" and a "Nursing Care & Prevention Class," contributing to greater oral health awareness among local residents. The clinic has long been committed to supporting children's growth and development, offering preventive orthodontic treatment from around age 6 to promote nasal breathing and the development of oral muscles. Weekday hours are 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with the clinic closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. The facility is fully accessible and equipped with a parking lot. English-language assistance is available, and credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, making the clinic welcoming to a wide range of patients. Operating on an appointment-preferred basis, the clinic provides patient-centered dental care with a strong emphasis on thorough communication and careful explanation.
