Horio Dental Clinic
About
Horio Dental Clinic, located in Minamidaira, Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, has been serving the local community as a trusted neighborhood dental practice since its founding in 1991. Director Dr. Yoshinobu Horio, a graduate of Osaka University School of Dentistry, holds certifications as a specialist of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology and as a registered dentist with the Japan Diabetes Association, and is recognized as an expert well-versed in the relationship between dental health and systemic diseases. The clinic offers a wide range of services centered on general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and preventive dentistry, covering everything from cavity treatment and dentures to cosmetic dentistry and implant consultations, as well as care for bite and temporomandibular joint issues. A distinguishing feature of the clinic is its approach to treatment and prevention from the perspective of connecting oral health to overall systemic health, grounded in the understanding that periodontal disease is closely linked to systemic conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. The clinic's care philosophy emphasizes proposing treatment plans tailored to each individual patient and providing thorough, easy-to-understand explanations. English-language service is available, and the clinic offers a parking lot with seven spaces. It is also conveniently accessible, located just a short walk from the Takatsuki City Bus stop "Minamidaira Nishiguchi." Hours are 9:00–13:00 in the morning and 15:00–19:00 in the afternoon, with closures on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
