SUGIYAMA SHIKA
Sugiyama Shika is a small dental clinic on the third floor of Hiramori Building in Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa. General dentistry covers the usual bases — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and likely cosmetic work. The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t bank on walking in and having a full conversation in English. This is a neighborhood dental office, not an expat-focused international clinic. That said, Shinagawa is well-connected and loaded with working professionals, so the staff here has probably seen a foreigner or two. Bring a translation app, write down your symptoms beforehand, and you’ll likely manage fine for routine care. For complex treatment discussions, consider a bilingual friend or Google Translate camera mode on the paperwork.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-fuss practice. People seem to appreciate that appointments run close to schedule — rare enough in Tokyo that it’s worth mentioning. The dentist comes across as thorough without being alarmist, which matters when you’re trying to understand a diagnosis in a second language. Vibe is quiet and clinical rather than warm and chatty. Fine for routine work. Not a hand-holding experience.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
