^{Honolulu Shika Iin}

While dentist visits are routine for most people, those who experience a language barrier could face an uphill battle when it comes to feeling comfortable receiving oral care. At Honolulu Dental Clinic, this unique family dentist offers additional services to residents of Oahu by helping the Japanese-speaking population on the island feel relaxed during their appointments.Like many practices throughout the island, the office offers general aesthetic procedures like fillings, crowns, teeth whitening, implants, and root canals, as well as preventative procedures such as cleanings, exams, and home care training. What sets them apart from the other offices is their ability to convey the importance of good dental habits to residents who speak English or Japanese.Dr. Riichiro Sato, who is bilingual, understands the differences between cultures as well as the needs, concerns, and methods for explaining dental practices. As a dentist well-versed and educated in both English and Japanese customs, he can not only bring those perspectives to his practice, but he is also better able to break through language barriers to improve the quality of life for those who call Oahu home.If you’ve felt apprehensive to seek dental care for communication reasons, let Honolulu Dental Clinic help.
