Tateishi Shikaiin

Tateishi Shikaiin is a general dental clinic in Ota Ward, Tokyo, run under the medical corporation Hakujinkai. It covers the standard range of dental services — cleanings, fillings, extractions, and likely some cosmetic and restorative work. The clinic sits in Ota’s Chuo area, a residential part of the ward that’s a bit off the expat radar compared to central Tokyo. The website has some English-language elements, which is a mild positive signal, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full English conversation. Bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend if your dental vocabulary isn’t up to scratch. That said, Japanese dentists are generally used to communicating procedurally — pointing at X-rays, showing tools, miming what’s about to happen — so basic appointments can often work even with limited shared language. For complex treatment discussions or informed consent conversations, you’ll want backup.
