This butler doesnât serve lunch. He cleans teeth. For around a hundred bucks, you can even put your head in his lap as he brushes yours.
Located in Tokyo Midtown, PureCure isnât your typical dentist office. Itâs designed to look like an âAsian resort hotel.â Dr. Taro Masuoka, PureCureâs head dentist, dresses like a butler, because he is here to serve you, his toothy master.
Dr. Masuoka seems to be taking his cues from womenâs manga and dating games in how he dresses, does his hair, and acts as well as from the butler cafes, which became popular among females geeks in Japan about ten years ago.
PureCure focuses on cosmetic dentistry and made a splash online back in 2012 when it launched group of snaggletooth singers. That group, of course, never took off.

The clinic recommends this to those who find going to the dentist frightening. Because this isnât scary. At all.
Tokyoâs butler dentist should really join forces with Taiwanâs maid dental assistants.
