Yotsuya Station (Marunouchi Line) — 2 min walk
  • Orthodontics and general dentistry combined
  • Near central Tokyo
  • OKUNO Dental Office sits on the 4th floor of a building in Yotsuya, Shinjuku — a quiet, residential-ish pocket of the ward that’s easy to reach but not in the middle of tourist chaos. They handle general dentistry and orthodontics under one roof, which is useful if you’re dealing with alignment issues alongside regular checkups.

    The website has some English content, which is a decent sign — it suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist. But “English on the website” doesn’t always mean “English at the front desk,” so don’t assume a fully bilingual experience. Bring a translation app as backup. That said, the orthodontics focus is a real draw if you’re an expat who wants to start or continue Invisalign or braces treatment in Japan without hunting down a separate specialist.

    Worth calling ahead to gauge the English comfort level before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — the kind of dentist who explains what they’re doing rather than just drilling and billing. Orthodontics patients seem to appreciate having continuity of care in one location. Wait times appear reasonable. The Yotsuya location is calm and easy to navigate. No strong pattern of complaints, but also not a huge volume of English-language reviews to draw from.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English content on its website, which puts it ahead of many local dental offices. However, confirmed English-speaking staff at reception is unclear. You may get basic communication through, but don't expect a fully bilingual consultation. A translation app or written notes in Japanese covering your symptoms will help. If you have complex orthodontic needs, consider emailing ahead — it gives them time to prepare and gives you a clearer read on their English capacity.
