Katakura Dental Clinic
About
Katakura Dental Clinic, located in Arakicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, is a historic medical institution that has been providing community-based dental care for three generations since its establishment in 1921. The clinic is led by Director Takako Katakura, offering a wide range of treatments from general dentistry to oral surgery and dental implants. One of the clinic's distinguishing features is its high level of specialization; certified specialists with extensive experience handle oral surgery and implant treatments. Through medical partnerships with Tokyo Dental University Suidobashi Hospital and Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital, appropriate referrals are available when advanced treatment is required. The clinic also prioritizes its facility environment, equipped with medical-grade air purification systems and extraoral vacuum devices, while implementing sterilization and disinfection systems compliant with the Japan Dental Association's infection prevention guidelines. Appointments are scheduled to avoid overlap with other patients, and the clinic consistently provides clear explanations of each patient's condition before proposing treatment options. The clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and features barrier-free facilities. Operating hours cover weekdays and the second Saturday (morning only), with support for health insurance cards using My Number cards.
