Japanese public health insurance can cover eligible dental treatment at clinics that accept it. Coverage depends on the treatment and materials involved. Private dental care is arranged and billed separately. Osaka Dental Association’s explanation.

Does Tokyo Expat Dental accept Japanese insurance?

At TED, Dr Shuya Saito explains your options in English and plans care with you in one of two fully private treatment rooms.

Japanese National Health Insurance and Employees’ Health Insurance do not cover treatment at TED.

How can I plan for private care?

Our team can help you check what the first appointment includes and what it costs. If treatment is recommended, your dentist will explain suitable options, expected fees and the appointments involved.

That gives you the information to choose how to proceed.

Does English-speaking dental care always mean private treatment?

Language support and insurance acceptance are separate things to check. When contacting a clinic, confirm both.

If you have international insurance, your policy may provide dental benefits. TED patients currently pay the clinic directly and submit claims to their insurer.
