KOMIYAMA Shika

KOMIYAMA Shika sits on the ground floor of Daishō Building in Saginomiya, a quiet residential stretch of Nakano ward. It’s a general dental clinic — cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual — under the FDO dental group umbrella, which is a small network of Tokyo practices. The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t automatically mean the front desk or dentists are fluent. Expect basic Japanese dental clinic energy: efficient, thorough, not particularly chatty. Saginomiya Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line is your access point — about 20 minutes from Shinjuku. If you’re living in western Nakano or Nerima and need a local dentist without trekking into the city center, this is a reasonable option. Bring a translation app just in case. The FDO group affiliation suggests some standardization in quality and process, which isn’t nothing.
