Sugishima Dental Office
Sugishima Dental Office is a general dental practice in Tsukushino, a quiet residential neighborhood in Machida — about 30 minutes south of Shinjuku on the Den-en-toshi Line. It’s a small, local clinic, not a big-city international hospital, so expect a neighborhood feel rather than a multilingual front desk.
That said, the clinic has conversational English capability, meaning at least someone on staff can get through a basic appointment without you both staring at Google Translate the whole time. They also have some English resources, which helps when you’re trying to explain a cracked molar or ask about treatment options.
This is a solid choice if you live in the Machida or Tsukushino area and want a regular dentist who won’t completely blank when you walk in speaking English. For complex procedures or fully English-language consultations, manage expectations — but for routine cleanings, fillings, and checkups, it’s a practical local option without a long commute into central Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patients describe a calm, unhurried clinic with attentive care. The dentist takes time to explain what’s happening rather than just working in silence. Wait times are generally short — this isn’t a packed urban clinic. The neighborhood setting keeps things low-key. English communication is workable for standard visits, though highly technical dental conversations may still require some patience and pointing. Overall vibe: competent, quiet, and not intimidating.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
