  • Okumura Dental sits on the second floor of the Yamato Building in Shinjuku’s Yanagiba-cho area — not the flashiest part of the ward, but convenient enough if you’re already navigating the Shinjuku maze. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic work. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation at the front desk. Come prepared with a translation app or written notes about your symptoms. That said, Shinjuku has enough international foot traffic that staff here probably aren’t completely thrown off by foreign patients. It’s a solid neighborhood dental option if you live or work nearby — just manage expectations around language before you book.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a competent, no-nonsense practice. Appointments tend to run on time, which matters in a busy Shinjuku location. The dentists are described as thorough rather than rushed. It’s a smaller clinic, so the vibe is quieter than a big hospital dental department. Don’t expect a lot of hand-holding or lengthy explanations in English — but the actual dental work gets solid marks.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website has some English, which is more than most local clinics offer. But confirmed English-speaking staff? That's unclear. Reception may have basic English, or they may not. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app — Google Translate's camera function works well for forms. Write down your symptoms in Japanese beforehand if you can. This isn't a clinic marketed specifically to expats, so treat any English support as a bonus, not a guarantee.
