Horiuchi Shikaiin
Horiuchi Shikaiin sits on the second floor of the AM Building in Higashi-Gotanda, a short walk from Gotanda Station in Shinagawa. It’s a general dental clinic run under the Yuseikai medical corporation, covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, implants, orthodontics, and cosmetic work.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual setup. English capability at reception is unclear from available information. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at a tooth and grimacing. That said, dental visits are often easier than other medical appointments — a lot of it is visual.
It’s a practical neighborhood dental clinic, not a foreigner-focused expat practice. The Gotanda area has good transit access from central Tokyo, so getting there isn’t a hassle. If you’re in Shinagawa or the surrounding wards and need a dentist, it’s worth a call to test the communication waters before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback specific to this clinic is limited in English-language sources. Based on the clinic’s general profile, expect a fairly standard Japanese dental experience — thorough, methodical, and unhurried by Western standards. Japanese dentists tend to break treatment into multiple short visits rather than doing everything at once, so plan for repeat appointments. The AM Building location is easy to find. No strong signals either way on wait times.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
