Ueno Shikaiin
Ueno Shikaiin is a dental clinic in Horikiri, Katsushika — a quiet residential corner of east Tokyo that most expats never end up in unless they actually live nearby. This is a neighborhood dentist, not an international clinic, so don’t expect a bilingual front desk or English intake forms. The website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’re at least aware that non-Japanese patients exist, but how that plays out in the actual chair is unclear. If you live in Katsushika or the surrounding area and need routine dental work — cleanings, fillings, check-ups — this is a reasonable local option. Go in with Google Translate ready on your phone, write down your symptoms in Japanese beforehand if you can, and you’ll probably be fine. For complex procedures or anything requiring detailed medical history discussion, you’ll want to assess your Japanese ability honestly before booking.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward local dental practice — no frills, but generally competent and not the kind of place that keeps you waiting forever. Patients seem to appreciate the no-nonsense approach. It functions like a typical Japanese family dentist: efficient, methodical, and unlikely to upsell you on things you don’t need. Not a flashy clinic, which in dentistry is usually a good sign.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
