Oji Shika & Kyouseishika

Oji Shika & Kyouseishika is a dental and orthodontics clinic sitting on the third floor of Ouei Building in Oji, Kita Ward — a residential part of north Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. The clinic covers general dentistry alongside orthodontics, so if you need both a filling and a conversation about braces, you’re not getting bounced between two separate places.

The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. But “some English online” doesn’t always translate to smooth English communication at the front desk. If your Japanese is minimal, come prepared — a translation app or written notes about your symptoms will help. This isn’t a clinic built around expat patients, but it’s a real neighborhood dental practice that handles the full range of dental needs. For expats living in Kita Ward, the location alone makes it worth checking out rather than commuting to central Tokyo for routine dental work.
