TAKASHIMA DENTAL CLINIC

Takashima Dental Clinic sits on the ground floor of a residential-commercial building in Nishi-Shimbashi, right in the thick of Minato’s office district. It’s a small, standard Japanese dental practice — the kind that handles fillings, cleanings, implants, and orthodontics without any particular fanfare. The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English conversation at the front desk. This is a neighborhood dentist in a business district, not a foreigner-facing clinic. That said, Minato ward has enough expat foot traffic that staff here are likely more accustomed to non-Japanese patients than a clinic in a rural suburb would be. If your dental Japanese is zero, bring a translation app and write down your symptoms beforehand. Good location for anyone working in Toranomon or Shimbashi.
