Ooyama Station (Fukutoshin Line) — 2 min walk
  • Orthodontics and general dentistry combined
  • Near central Tokyo
  • Mint Dental Ooyama sits on the ground floor of the Cross Ooyama Island building in Itabashi’s Ooyama neighborhood — easy to find, easy to walk into. The clinic covers general dentistry and orthodontics, so you can handle fillings and braces under one roof without bouncing between providers.

    The website has some English-language content, which is a decent signal that they’re at least aware foreign patients exist. Whether that extends to English-speaking staff at the front desk or during consultations is less clear. Realistically, expect Japanese as the working language. A translation app on your phone will help, especially for intake forms and explaining symptoms.

    Ooyama itself is a lively shopping street area — the famous Happyroad Ooyama shopping arcade is right there — so the clinic fits neatly into a neighborhood errand rather than a dedicated medical trip. For expats in Itabashi or northwest Tokyo who need routine dental care or are considering orthodontic work, this is a local option worth checking out before traveling further into central Tokyo.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a clean, modern setup and a dentist who takes time explaining treatment plans rather than rushing through appointments. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The orthodontics side gets decent marks for clear communication about costs and timelines. Staff are generally described as calm and professional. No strong pattern of English-speaking reviews, suggesting most patients are Japanese locals — useful context for expats gauging what to expect.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English on its website, which is more than most neighborhood dental offices in Itabashi. But don't bank on fluent English at the front desk or chair-side — it's not confirmed. Intake forms are almost certainly Japanese only. Bring a translation app, have your insurance card ready, and if you can, write down your symptoms in Japanese beforehand. A bilingual friend on the phone as backup isn't a bad idea for your first visit.
