MAKOTO DENTAL CLINIC
Makoto Dental Clinic sits on the ground floor of the Time Nishiikebukuro building in Toshima, a short walk from Ikebukuro Station — one of Tokyo’s busiest hubs, so getting here is genuinely easy. They cover standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general checkups.
The English situation is murky. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about foreign patients, but whether you’ll get a fluent English-speaking dentist or receptionist at your actual appointment is not confirmed. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. That small prep goes a long way at clinics like this.
For routine dental care — the kind you’ve been putting off since you moved to Japan — this is a convenient, accessible option if you’re based in or around Ikebukuro. Just don’t assume a smooth English consultation without calling ahead first.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental experience. Appointments tend to run on schedule, and the dentist is described as thorough without being rushed. The clinic feels practical rather than flashy — clean, functional, gets the job done. Good fit if you want competent routine care close to Ikebukuro. Not the place to expect a lot of hand-holding or extended explanations in English.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
