Naka Shika Kurinikku

Naka Shika Kurinikku is a general dental clinic sitting on the first floor of a small office building in Takanodai, Nerima — a quiet residential pocket of northwest Tokyo that most expats never venture into. They handle the standard dental lineup: checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and cosmetic work. The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. That said, “English on the website” and “English at the front desk” are two very different things, and this clinic hasn’t confirmed full English-language service. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond pointing at your tooth. It’s a neighborhood clinic — not a big international medical center — so expect a local feel, modest waiting room, and straightforward care rather than a polished expat-focused experience.
