SUGA Dental Clinic

SUGA Dental Clinic sits in Shakujii-koen, a quiet residential part of Nerima — not the kind of neighborhood expats stumble into by accident, but worth the trip if you’re in the area. It’s a standard Japanese neighborhood dental clinic run by the Suga family, handling general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the usual. The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t book expecting a bilingual receptionist to walk you through everything. Bring a translation app and have your symptoms written out in Japanese if you can manage it. For routine dental work, language barriers at a clinic like this are usually manageable — teeth don’t need much explaining. If you need complex treatment discussions or detailed informed consent conversations, get some preparation in before you arrive.
