    Beautiful clinic, gentle cleaning

    Booked in English through the website. The townhouse setting makes it feel nothing like a dental clinic.

    Careful work, though I had to wait three weeks for the first slot

    Getting the first appointment took three weeks, which is worth knowing before you plan around it. Once I was in, the cleaning was the most thorough I have had in Japan and they photographed everything so I could see what they meant about the back molars.

    Reply from Kyoto Gion Dental Care

    Thank you — we are opening two more hygienist slots a week from October, which should shorten that wait.

    No fillings in four years

    I used to need something done at every visit. Since joining the recall programme here, nothing. The same hygienist every time makes a real difference.
