WHY TED EXISTS

Why Dr Saito opened the clinic

As lead dentist and clinic director at an English-speaking clinic in Tokyo, Dr Saito led its development and shaped the way it cared for international patients.

He founded Tokyo Expat Dental to bring that experience into a clinic of his own, with care centred on clear communication for people living in Japan and those visiting from overseas.

Your appointment is a chance to explain your concerns, understand our advice and ask the questions that matter to you.

You’re welcome to ask questions at any stage.

We’ll talk through why a treatment is recommended, the alternatives, what can wait and what it will cost.

COMMUNICATION

How we talk with you

We start with your experience

We’ll ask about your symptoms, medical and dental history, and what matters to you. Please tell us about any anxiety, sensitivity or difficult experiences so we can discuss how to help.

We explain what we find

We’ll explain what we’ve found, whether anything needs a closer look and why a treatment may suit you.

We plan care together

Together, we’ll talk through the benefits, risks, alternatives, cost and follow-up, so you can decide how you’d like to proceed.

OUR CLINIC

Treatment rooms and equipment

Your care begins with a careful assessment and a treatment plan you understand and agree to.

  • Private rooms: you are treated in one of two fully private treatment rooms.

  • Scans and microscope: digital scans record the shape of your teeth, and a dental microscope gives a magnified view during treatment.

  • X-rays when needed: our RAY system takes three-dimensional dental X-rays (CBCT) and side-view X-rays of the teeth and jaws. Your dentist explains why any X-ray or scan is recommended.

  • Cleaning and whitening: professional cleaning uses EMS AIRFLOW equipment to help remove plaque and surface stains. In-clinic whitening uses the BEYOND Polus Advanced system.

  • Hygiene: we follow European (EU) standards for dental hygiene and infection control. Reusable instruments are sterilised in a Class B autoclave. Dental handpieces (the drills) are cleaned in a dedicated handpiece cleaner, and single-use instruments are used once and then thrown away.

Languages

Dr Saito speaks English and Japanese, and our clinic has native English-speaking management.

  • Hindi and Polish: members of our team also speak these languages. Please ask when you book if you would like their help.

  • Other languages: we can arrange an interpreter if you ask us before your appointment. Please ask about any cost.

Please also tell us about any accessibility needs before your appointment.
