Sugimoto Hide Dental Clinic
About
Sugimoto Hide Dental Clinic is located in Kannami-cho, Tagata-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, a 4-minute walk from Oba Station on the Izu-Hakone Railway Sunzu Line. Under the direction of Dr. Hideki Sugimoto, the clinic operates with the philosophy of "creating a healthy mouth that allows you to enjoy eating at any age." A defining feature of the clinic is its commitment to tooth preservation through precise treatment using magnifying loupes, strictly adhering to a policy of minimally invasive drilling that removes only the decay-infected portions, preserving as much of the tooth and nerve as possible. The clinic has been designated as a "Strengthened Function Dental Office for Family Dentistry" certified by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, offering a system that enables continuous preventive care and maintenance under insurance coverage. Hygiene standards are also high, with the introduction of advanced sterilizers and gas sterilization equipment, thorough disinfection of dental chairs, and strict use of disposables as part of its infection control measures. The clinic places emphasis on oral development in children, employing an approach that promotes the development of chewing function without relying on orthodontic treatment. The facility is barrier-free, equipped with a dedicated chair that allows patients to remain in their wheelchairs in the treatment room, making it accessible to a wide range of patients. English-speaking services are available, credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, and a 13-space parking lot is provided.
