Nakashima Dental
About
Nakajima Dental Clinic is located in Kagaminiikai, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, offering a wide range of services including general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, and visiting dental care. The clinic's director, Dr. Masanori Nakajima, has a distinctive background: after graduating from Kyoto University, he conducted research in "physical anthropology" — studying human evolution through the morphology of bones and teeth — at the University of Tokyo Graduate School, before obtaining his dental license at Hiroshima University School of Dentistry and gaining clinical experience at Hokkaido University Hospital prior to establishing the practice in Karatsu. Drawing on a skeletal perspective, the clinic offers comprehensive treatment encompassing the jawbone, dental arch, and gums, with a particular focus on cosmetic dentistry and occlusal improvement, while maintaining a commitment to continuous professional development. For dentures (removable prosthetics), Dr. Nakajima applies expertise gained through direct instruction from specialists at Hokkaido University Hospital. A dedicated visiting dentist is also on staff, providing regular dental visits to group homes and similar facilities, ensuring accessible care for patients who have difficulty coming to the clinic in person. English-language communication is available, and the facility features a fully equipped parking lot and barrier-free design, making it welcoming to a wide range of patients. Office hours are 9:00–12:00 in the morning and 14:00–17:30 in the afternoon, with the clinic closed on Sundays and public holidays.
