Abukawa Shika Koukugeka
Abukawa Shika Koukugeka is a dental and oral surgery clinic sitting in Tokiwadai, a quiet residential stretch of Itabashi. The oral surgery angle is the real draw here — this isn’t just a polish-and-fill operation. They handle more complex dental work alongside routine care, which matters if you’re dealing with something beyond a standard checkup.
The clinic has some English content on their website, which suggests awareness that international patients exist. Whether that translates to a smooth English-speaking experience at the front desk or chairside is less certain. Their site is worth checking before you go — it gives a reasonable sense of what they offer. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend as backup, just in case.
Tokiwadai Station on the Tobu Tojo Line puts you close, and Itabashi overall is navigable without being a major hub. Not the most central location for expats living in central Tokyo, but worth the trip if you need proper oral surgery rather than a basic dentist.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a clinic that takes its time with cases rather than rushing people through. The oral surgery specialization seems to attract patients with more involved dental needs, and the approach appears thorough. Wait times are typical for a neighborhood clinic — not lightning fast, but not unreasonable. The setting is calm and low-key rather than a flashy modern chain. Patients seem to leave with a clear sense of what was done and why.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
