The Tokyo Clinic Dental Office was established fifty years ago to serve the foreign community. It is associated with the Tokyo Medical and Surgical Clinic, and is located in the same building.
Four English-speaking dentists provide a wide range of dental services, including fillings, crowns, root canal treatment and children's dentistry. All treatment is done based on American methods. Three of the dentists are licensed to practice in the United States as well as Japan.
When necessary, referrals can be made to specialists for orthodontia (braces) and oral surgery. Although Japanese Social Insurance is not accepted, our office can fill out all other insurance forms.
