Lauren, you missed Dr Akio Kojima at Akasaka Hills Dental Office. 2-22-15 Akasaka, AK Bldg. 2F, Minato-ku, 107-0052. 3584-2277
I went to Suzuki and Drennan for tooth pain. Both suggested that I needed a root canal. I went to Kojima. He suggested that he adjust my bite, 10 minutes later, no more tooth pain!
I have other friends who highly recommend him as well. He also does aesthetic and reconstructive dentistry, has a great bedside manner and a very modern office. Certified and licensed in USA as well.
I’d like to recommend DR. Kenishi Nishimura from Omotesando dental salon. He is amazing doctor, with a lot of modern technology in his clinic and he is also a dentist and orthodontist. Accept Japanese and international insurance, fluent English. Harward graduated.
Thanks Mariana, Appreciate the recommendation. I will consider adding Dr. Nishimura in the next round of edits.

I positively love Dr. Yukari Ueki at Sorriso Dental Salon near Shinagawa Station. http://belsorriso.jp/smartphone/english/index.html
Thank you Tracey, I will consider adding Dr. Ueki to the list in the near future.

Many of my colleagues are using the Mikasa Dental Care in Setagaya-ku
She is very gentle
Dr. Kathleen Mikasa is a graduate of the Univ. Of California and Tokyo Dental College.
Dr. Jason S. Wong is our family dentist. He is a graduate of MIT (BS and MS) and U. Michigan School of Dentistry. He is very smart, and his philosophy in dentistry is to treat your teeth as he would his own. His practice is in Meguro, 1-22-3 Kamioosaki, Shinagawa-ku, 03-3473-2901. He does not accept JNHI. https://healthytokyo.com/medical/jason-s-wong-dental-office-in-meguro/
Nara, thank you for sharing. Mr. Wong sounds like a highly qualified dentist. Will visit and consider adding officially to the list. Lauren
My three kids and I tried Drs. Kaku last week- I was beyond impressed with their child friendly set up and way of dealing with the kids. A dental clean actually felt like a fun family afternoon out!
Hi everyone I am looking for an English dentist in Ikebukuro. Do you know someone that you could recommend?.
Hi readers,
I used this website to find a dentist and chose Reiko Dental Clinic. However, I have to WARN others – I DO NOT recommend this clinic.
Hi Hana, we`re sorry you do not recommend this clinic. Can you email us about your experience? -Sandra
