ANDOH DENTAL CLINIC

Andoh Dental Clinic sits on the second floor of the Miyagishi Building in Nakameguro, one of Tokyo’s more liveable neighbourhoods for expats. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual range — cleanings, fillings, crowns, basic restorative work. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full conversation in English with no friction. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle: enough English to get through a standard appointment, especially if you come prepared with notes about your symptoms or dental history. Nakameguro Station is close, which makes logistics easy. It’s a small, independent clinic rather than a big international medical centre, so the experience will feel personal and local. If you’ve been to a Japanese dental clinic before, you know the drill — thorough, efficient, sometimes very quiet. If this is your first time navigating Japanese dentistry, bring patience and maybe a translation app as backup.
