About
Located in Kurumazukacho, Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, this clinic operates on an appointment-based system for dental care. In addition to English language support, they accept credit cards and electronic payments, and offer accessibility features including parking and barrier-free facilities. The clinic provides treatment by board-certified orthodontists, and between 2017 and 2018, enhanced their equipment with the introduction of dental lasers, Carl Zeiss dental binocular loupes, and ozone water sterilization devices. Infection control measures include complete sterilization of instruments and equipment for each patient, as well as the use of disposable gloves, ensuring thorough hygiene management. Furthermore, in 2017, they introduced a mobile dental unit and began home visits to nursing facilities and private residences. These home-based services provide not only oral care but also regular visits 2-4 times monthly for aspiration pneumonia prevention, including functional training and oral muscle massage. They can also observe and document swallowing conditions using nasopharyngeal fiberscopes.
