Dental care in English, centrally located.
Tokyo Expat Dental is a private dental clinic three minutes on foot from Uchisaiwaicho Station (Toei Mita Line, Exit A3) and a short walk from Toranomon, Shimbashi and Kasumigaseki. It was set up for international residents, visitors and their families, and for local patients, who want dental care they fully understand, explained in English from the first question to their final appointment. Walk-ins are welcome with no appointment needed. The clinic operates between Monday to Saturday, from 09:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:00.
Dr Shuya Saito, Founder and Director of Tokyo Expat Dental
The clinic was founded by Dr Shuya Saito, DDS, Founder and Director. Dr Saito graduated from Nihon University School of Dentistry in 2022, joined the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Juntendo University Hospital, and from December 2024 to July 2026 was lead dentist and clinic director at an English-speaking dental clinic in Tokyo. He is a member of the Society of Japan Clinical Dentistry (SJCD) and continues his training at Omori Academy, Tokyo. Robert Brammer, Clinic Operations Manager, manages the clinic day to day, with an extensive background in clinic management, and pioneering some of the very-first private English-speaking dental clinics around Tokyo.
Tokyo Expat Dental are a multi-lingual team. Dr Saito speaks English and Japanese, with Hindi and Polish available upon request. Interpreters for other languages can be arranged with advance notice.
All treatment costs are clearly outlined in advance, with prices inclusive of tax. Patients holding international insurance are invited to settle payment directly with the clinic and subsequently claim reimbursement using the medical report provided. The clinic is also in the process of establishing direct billing arrangements with international insurers.
For added convenience, payments are accepted by cash, credit card, IC cards (Suica and PASMO), PayPay and other QR payment services. Treatment financing is also available through Suruga Bank.
Inside are two private treatment rooms, 3D CBCT X-rays, a dental microscope and AIRFLOW cleaning, with infection control to European (EU) standards: a Class B autoclave, a dedicated hand-piece cleaner and single-use instruments. Services range from checkups, professional cleaning and emergency dental care for toothache, broken teeth and lost fillings, to root canal treatment, crowns and bridges, implants, whitening, clear aligners, gum treatment, wisdom-tooth removal, night guards and children's dentistry. The entrance is at street level with a ramp, and the clinic is LGBTQ+ friendly.
In conversation with Dr Saito
Why did you join the BCCJ?
Our clinic has British management, and many of the people we care for are part of Tokyo's international business community. We joined the BCCJ to be part of that community directly, so that members and their families know there is an English-speaking dentist close to their offices, where they can walk in without an appointment.
What do you most hope to gain from your time as a member?
Trusted relationships. Most people find a dentist through someone they trust: a colleague, an HR team or an embassy. We hope to become a clinic that members feel comfortable recommending, and to learn from members who have built businesses in Japan over many years.
What makes your organisation unique in your industry or market?
We pair a Japanese dentist who works in English with British management, so the whole visit, from booking to the report for your insurer, happens in English. Costs are explained before treatment, every price includes tax, and walk-ins are welcome six days a week.
What recent achievements or milestones are you most proud of?
Opening our doors on 2 November 2026. Behind that date sit months of preparation: registering the clinic with Minato City, fitting two private treatment rooms with 3D CBCT imaging and a dental microscope, and setting up infection control to European standards.
We also built a website in plain English so patients can see our fees before they arrive. Next, we are registering for direct billing with international insurers, so that patients whose plans allow it can be billed directly.
What kind of collaborations or connections are you most interested in building through the BCCJ?
We would like to connect with HR, relocation and global mobility teams, member companies that want a simple route to dental care in English for their employees, international insurers and brokers, hotels and serviced apartments, and embassies. If your people need a dentist in Tokyo, we would be glad to hear from you.
