Asagaya Shion Shika Kyosei Shika

Asagaya Shion Dental sits on the ground floor of Kirisawa Building in Asagaya Kita — a quiet residential stretch of Suginami that’s easy to reach from Asagaya Station on the Chuo Line. The clinic covers general dentistry and orthodontics, so you can handle fillings and braces under one roof without bouncing between offices.

Their website has some English-language content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about international patients — but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation at the front desk. Bring a translation app as backup. For routine dental work, the language barrier is usually manageable: pointing at teeth and showing X-rays crosses most language gaps. Orthodontic consultations are more nuanced, so if your Japanese is limited, prepare questions in writing beforehand or bring a Japanese-speaking friend for that first visit.

It’s a neighborhood clinic, not a big-city international dental center. That’s actually fine for most people — you get a local dentist who knows their patients, not a revolving door of expat-focused providers charging a premium for English.
