Yamamura Dental Office
Yamamura Dental Office sits in the Oakura Building in Nishi-Gotanda, a short walk from Gotanda Station in Shinagawa. They occupy floors 1 and 4, so check which floor your appointment is on before you wander around looking confused.
The clinic covers standard dental work — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general oral care. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume the whole experience will be in English. Reception and chair-side communication may require patience, a translation app, or a Japanese-speaking friend on standby.
This is a neighborhood dental practice, not a foreigner-specialist clinic. If your Japanese is zero, prepare a few written notes about your symptoms beforehand. That said, dentistry is one of those specialties where a lot can be communicated through pointing, X-rays, and hand signals. You’ll manage.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough, unhurried approach — this doesn’t feel like a conveyor-belt clinic. Appointments tend to run on time. The two-floor setup can confuse first-timers, so confirm your floor when booking. The dentists appear methodical and willing to explain treatment plans, though how much of that explanation lands in English depends on who’s on shift that day.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
