What to know before you go in Okinawa
Dental care in Okinawa works the same way as everywhere else in Japan. If you are enrolled in Japanese health insurance, you pay 30% of the fee for covered treatment and the clinic bills the rest. Checkups, fillings, root canals, extractions and gum treatment are covered. Whitening, implants, ceramic crowns and most adult orthodontics are not, and are quoted privately by each clinic.
Clinics in Okinawa usually split treatment across several short visits rather than doing everything at once, so plan for more than one appointment. Bring your insurance card (保険証) and, if you have one, your residence card. If this is your first dental visit in Japan, our full guide to going to the dentist in Japan walks through the whole process.
Treatments available across the Okinawa clinics listed here: Comprehensive Oral Rehabilitation, Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Whitening, Endodontics, General Dentistry, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontal Dentistry, Preventive Dentistry.
