Nakano Shikaiin

Nakano Shikaiin is a general dental clinic in Mitaka, Tokyo, sitting inside the Maple Musashino building on Iguchi — a quiet residential stretch that’s easy to reach but not quite central. This is a small, independent practice rather than a big chain, which tends to mean more continuity with the same dentist rather than a rotating cast.

They have conversational English capability, so basic communication — explaining pain, asking about procedures, discussing treatment plans — should be manageable without pulling out your phone translator every five minutes. Don’t expect full clinical explanations in fluent English, but you’re unlikely to feel completely lost either.

For expats in Mitaka, Musashino, or western Tokyo who dread navigating dental care in Japanese, this is a realistic option. Standard dental services: cleanings, fillings, check-ups. No exotic specialty work, just solid general dentistry with enough English to get through an appointment.
