Yokosuka
Dental Care – On base
Dental
The Yokosuka Dental Clinic at USNH serves several shore commands and most of the dental specialists are located here. Specialties include endodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, orofacial pain, orthodontics, and prosthodontics. Highest priority for treatment is given to active duty, followed by family members of active duty personnel. Retirees, DOD civilians, and their family members are seen on a space available basis. This space availability is extremely limited and makes this service highly unlikely to be available for DOD civilians and family. Civilians should plan on procuring dental services on the economy of Japan. There are several American trained and accredited, English speaking dentists in the local area.
Dental Care – Off base
The below lists TRICARE Overseas Preferred Dentists in the Kanto Plain (Greater Tokyo) area. These offices are inspected annually by a Navy Dental Officer to ensure the quality of dentistry in a modern, safe, and clean environment. Almost every Japanese dentist in this network speaks English. The network includes many general dentists, orthodontists, and pediatric dentists.
Below lists additional dental offices with English speaking services in the greater Yokosuka/Yokohama area. Some of these dental offices have been used and suggested by personnel here in Yokosuka as alternatives to on base dental care†.
Sasebo
Dental Care – On base
The Branch Health Clinic and the Hario Village housing Annex provide family practice health care and dental care for routine clinical services where doctors and family practitioners are available to address any healthcare needs. Dental care for DoD civilians and their families is subject to the same space availability rules as Yokosuka. Dental services are unlikely to be available to retirees, DoD civilians and their families.
