Marina Dental Clinic
About
Marina Dental Clinic, located in Mashiki, Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture, is a dental practice led by a director with approximately 10 years of experience as an oral surgeon. The director has worked at Yokohama City University Medical Center and St. Luke's International Hospital, and holds certification as a specialist from the Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Drawing on this expertise, the clinic provides treatment not only for common conditions such as cavities and periodontal disease, but also addresses a wide range of oral health issues including halitosis, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), xerostomia, stomatitis, wisdom tooth extraction, and sleep apnea syndrome. Leveraging experience from university-affiliated general hospitals, the clinic also accommodates dental treatment for elderly patients and those with underlying health conditions, offering swallowing rehabilitation for dysphagia. The practice emphasizes patient communication, carefully listening to concerns and preferences while using illustrations, diagrams, and photographs to clearly explain treatment plans. The facility features digital X-ray equipment and a kids' room with picture books and DVDs. It is fully barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for elderly patients and those with strollers. English consultations and treatment explanations are available, and payment by credit card or US dollars is accepted. The clinic is a 3-minute walk from "Ojana" bus stop, with a total of 10 parking spaces available.
