IGARASHI DENTAL OFFICE
Igarashi Dental Office sits on the 9th floor of the Shinjuku Sanyo Building in West Shinjuku — easy to find if you’re already comfortable navigating that part of town. The clinic operates under a medical corporation (Tokyo Seishikai), which usually means a bit more infrastructure than a solo practice. Their website has some English content, which is a good sign, but don’t assume the front desk will handle a full conversation in English without effort on both sides. Bring your insurance card, a translation app as backup, and know your dental vocabulary in advance. They cover standard dentistry — cleanings, fillings, the usual — and the West Shinjuku location makes it convenient if you work or live nearby. This isn’t a clinic that markets itself specifically to expats, but the partial English online presence suggests they’ve dealt with foreign patients before. Manage expectations, communicate clearly, and you’ll likely be fine.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-frills dental experience. The clinic tends to be thorough rather than rushed, which regulars seem to appreciate. Wait times are generally reasonable for a Shinjuku-area practice. The setting is professional and clean. Don’t expect a lot of small talk — this is a get-in, get-treated, get-out kind of place. Patients who come prepared with their dental history and insurance details report the visits go smoothly.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
