Shigematsu Dental Clinic
About
Shigematsu Dental Clinic, located in Kiyama Town, Miyaki District, Saga Prefecture, has been providing community-rooted dental care since its founding in 1989. The clinic's director, Dr. Hideki Shigematsu, graduated from Fukuoka Dental College and obtained a Doctor of Medicine degree from Kurume University. He also serves as the chairman of the Miyaki-Tosu District Dental Association, contributing to the advancement of local dental healthcare. The clinic's core philosophy is guided by three principles: "extract as little as possible," "drill as little as possible," and "cause as little pain as possible," with a strong emphasis on clearly explaining treatment plans to each individual patient. Services offered include general cavity and periodontal treatments, as well as a wide range of specialties such as preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and orthodontic treatment. The clinic's expertise is further demonstrated through memberships in multiple professional societies, including the Japan Academy of Esthetic Dentistry and the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology. Strict infection control measures are in place, including per-patient exchange and sterilization of dental instruments, disinfection of the waiting room, and regular ventilation. In addition to multilingual support in English, Korean, and other languages, the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and is equipped with a parking lot and barrier-free facilities, making it accessible and welcoming to a wide range of patients.
