Iwamatsu Dental Clinic
About
Iwamatsu Dental Clinic, located in Katana-machi, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, is a community-based dental specialty clinic. A defining feature of the clinic is its individualized treatment approach tailored to each patient's unique condition. Director Dr. Takeshima operates under the philosophy that "if there are 100 patients, there are 100 different treatment methods," emphasizing patient dialogue over standardized care in developing treatment plans. At every appointment, the clinic carefully explains the patient's current condition and treatment details, and its commitment to answering questions and concerns honestly lies at the core of its care philosophy. Clinic hours are from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with closures on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Notably, the clinic operates with flexibility by opening on Thursdays during weeks that contain a public holiday. A kids' space is available inside the clinic, creating a welcoming environment for patients with children. English-speaking staff are on hand, making the clinic accessible to those who are not confident communicating in Japanese. The clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, provides ample parking, and features a barrier-free design to ensure easy access for patients with physical disabilities.
