Asada Shika

Asada Shika is a neighborhood dental clinic in Meguro’s Takaban area — residential, low-key, the kind of place locals have been going to for years. They handle the standard dental range: cleanings, fillings, extractions, orthodontics, implants. The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about international patients, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual experience. Reception is likely Japanese-first. If your Japanese is zero, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond a basic cleaning. That said, dentistry is one of those specialties where pointing at a tooth and wincing gets you surprisingly far. The clinic is a short walk from Gakugeidaigaku Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, which puts it in easy reach of a lot of Meguro and Nakameguro expats. Small practice, probably straightforward booking, no hospital-scale waiting room chaos.
