Looking for a reliable dentist who doesn't ask you back any more than necessary. Especially for anyone whose had more technical procedures. English not necessary.

Had a lot of work done here earlier this year. Very experienced dentist. All new equipment. Probably the best dentist I've ever been to. http://tanimoto-d.com/

The doctor speaks English as does the receptionist. I had a crown done in 2 visits. My husband had an issue with an implant he got 10 years ago in the US and visits were 1) discovering the issue and planning the procedure to correct 2) microsurgery to correct the problem 3) remove stitches 4) short check up to make sure the problem had been corrected and healing had been completed. http://duo-dental.com/english/access.htm

Thanks C.c. would really appreciate it. Karen, it seems the Kana clinic is closed today as it's a holiday. They speak English though? I'll make a note of it for future, thank you.

In the past I have used a hospital dentist. This one at Yukioka Hospital in Nakazaki Cho near Umeda. It's a very old and dingy hospital but nice staff and they were open, I think, on a holiday when I needed to go. I don't know if it will be open today but there is a phone number. Very little English though. http://www.yukioka.or.jp/departments/sika/index.html
I am sure that this has been discussed before. I'm looking for the best English speaking dentist in Osaka, maybe went to school in North America. Kita Ku would be ideal....

Maybe a bit far but this guy was educated at Harvard University. His clinic is located near Koshien station. He was recommended to me but I never went to see him. http://inoue-dentalclinic.smart-fd.com/original.html

I go to a guy in Homachi. Honmachi Dental Clinic. He studied in the US, and is fluent in English. Super modern office/equipment. 0120-8214-55.
Jewel F. replied:
Dr. Sako in Shinsaibashi at the Sako Dental Clinic is really good, and he's not afraid to refer you somewhere if he thinks there's a problem (he sent me to a specialist after a few visits, who found a super rare jaw problem I had to have surgery on). There's also the Osaka Dental Hospital, where I had surgery - the main doctor I had there spoke English.
Meghan C. replied:
I go to Koyanagi Sensei at the Sako clinic in Shinsaibashi. Studied in NY. Cool guy.

I asked the same question. Got recommended to try Kono Clinic in Yodoyabashi. Went last week, it was great.
Jeremy S. replied:
Professor?? at Osaka Dental University in Tenmabashi is excellent, loves using English to practice for his seminars, and as students watch him work, the fee is very low. I can find his name if I search a bit.
Been using Onoda Dental for seven years. Just north of nagahori on sakaisuji. Pretty fluent English. Open Saturdays. Friendly enough. Hasn't pressured me into anything. http://www.onoda-dental.net

Not sure if they speak good English, if any, BUT the people at the Sanadayama Dental Clinic have proven to be awesome for me and my wife. Very efficient, clean, and with up to date tools. Completely closed rooms, too. http://www.sanadayamashika.jp

For anyone searching Reddit for this topic. I went to Kono today, all the forms were in English, the secretary spoke English, many of the staff have been trained overseas too. Everything was explained clearly, they put my mind at ease and also were very gentle. Highly recommended.
Welcome back gang! Now that you're here lemme pick your collective brains. Who has a dentist in Osaka that they'd highly (really) recommend? Do they speak English...
