Muramatsu Shikaiin

Muramatsu Shikaiin is a neighborhood dental clinic in Kotake-machi, Nerima — a quiet residential pocket of northwest Tokyo. It’s the kind of place locals have trusted for years, not a flashy urban clinic chasing expat clientele. That said, they have conversational English capability, so you’re not walking in completely blind. Staff can handle basic communication — enough to get through a cleaning, explain a procedure, or talk you through a treatment plan without you needing to mime a toothache. Don’t expect a fully bilingual front desk, but you won’t be left guessing either. The clinic runs general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, the usual. Good option if you’re living in Nerima or nearby areas like Hikarigaoka or Shakujii and want a local dentist you can actually communicate with rather than making the trek into central Tokyo every time something hurts.
