AsamiSikaiin

Asami Dental Clinic sits in the Hikawadai area of Nerima — a quieter residential part of Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they actually live nearby. This is a neighborhood dental practice doing general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the usual. The clinic has some English content on its website, which suggests they’ve at least thought about non-Japanese patients, but don’t walk in expecting fluent English-speaking staff. Realistically, you’re looking at a mix of basic English phrases, gestures, and possibly a translation app to fill the gaps. That said, for routine dental work, you don’t always need a full conversation — pointing at a tooth and wincing gets you pretty far. If you’re in Nerima and need a dentist without traveling into central Tokyo, this is a reasonable local option. Just come prepared with some Japanese vocabulary or a translation app ready on your phone.
