  • Uekusa Shika is a dental clinic sitting on the ground floor of the m’s SANNO building in Ota Ward, Tokyo. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, extractions, implants, and cosmetic work. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to a fully English-speaking front desk or chair-side experience is genuinely unclear. Don’t book expecting fluent English support without confirming first. Ota Ward is a large, mostly residential ward in southern Tokyo — not a typical expat hub, so this isn’t a clinic built around foreign patients. That said, if you live or work in the area and need reliable dental care, it’s worth a call or email to test the waters before you show up.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach from the dentist — people mention feeling like their concerns were actually listened to rather than rushed through. Wait times appear reasonable for a neighborhood clinic. The atmosphere is calm and fairly low-key, not a high-volume conveyor-belt operation. It reads like a local family dentist rather than a big-city specialist clinic, which for routine dental work is often exactly what you want.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic has English on its website, which suggests some awareness of non-Japanese patients — but that's not the same as English-speaking staff at reception or in the chair. No confirmed reports of fluent English service. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app and have your dental history written out in Japanese beforehand. Sending an email inquiry first is the smartest move — their response will tell you a lot about what to actually expect on the day.
