OKUMURA shikaiin
Okumura Dental sits on the second floor of the Yamato Building in Shinjuku’s Yanagiba-cho area — not the flashiest part of Shinjuku, but walkable from Iidabashi and Kagurazawa stations, which makes it genuinely convenient. This is a general dental practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, implants. Nothing exotic, just solid everyday dentistry.
The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about foreign patients at least a little. That said, “English on the website” and “English at the front desk” are two different things. Whether you’ll get a smooth English consultation or end up pointing at your tooth on a diagram depends on who’s working that day. Come prepared — a translation app and a written summary of your dental history in Japanese won’t hurt. If you’re dealing with a straightforward issue and don’t need complex back-and-forth, this clinic is a reasonable option in a well-connected part of Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a no-frills, professional experience. The dentist is described as thorough and unhurried — not the type to rush you out the door. Wait times appear reasonable for a private practice. The second-floor location in a standard office building means don’t expect a sleek modern interior, but the equipment and care quality seem solid. It reads like a neighborhood dentist that takes its work seriously.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
