Asano Shika Clinic
Asano Shika Clinic sits on the third floor of a small building in Meguro’s Taira-machi neighborhood — not the flashiest location, but a solid local dental practice that gets the job done. They handle the full range of general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, and basic cosmetic work. English isn’t fluent here, but staff can manage conversational exchanges well enough to get through an appointment without a full meltdown. You’ll want to know some basic dental vocabulary or have a few phrases ready, but they’re used to working with foreign patients and won’t just stare blankly at you. The clinic is a reasonable option if you’re in Meguro or the surrounding area and need reliable, no-fuss dental care without hunting down a fully bilingual specialist clinic. Not a boutique expat-focused operation, but competent, accessible, and honest about what they can communicate. Good for routine work.
Patient Feedback
Patients generally describe a calm, unhurried atmosphere — this isn’t a high-volume churn operation. The dentist takes time to explain what they’re doing, which matters a lot when you’re already anxious about a language gap. Wait times are typically reasonable for a local clinic. Nothing fancy in terms of décor or tech, but the clinical work is careful and thorough. People tend to come back, which says something.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
