Todoroki Shikashitsu
Todoroki Shikashitsu is a dental clinic on the second floor of the Hulic Todoroki Building in Setagaya’s Todoroki neighborhood — a quiet, residential part of western Tokyo that doesn’t see a ton of expat traffic, but has a solid community of long-term foreign residents. The clinic handles general dentistry: cleanings, fillings, extractions, the usual maintenance stuff. Staff have conversational English, which means you can explain a toothache without miming agony at the front desk. Don’t expect full clinical discussions in English, but basic communication works. The clinic is small and neighborhood-feeling — no sprawling waiting room, no hospital-scale chaos. If you live in Setagaya and need a reliable local dentist who won’t make the language barrier your problem, this is a reasonable choice.
Patient Feedback
Patients describe a calm, unhurried experience — this isn’t a high-volume city clinic grinding through appointments. The dentist takes time to explain what’s happening, and staff make an effort with English speakers rather than just pointing at forms. Wait times are generally short. The building entrance can be easy to miss, so check the second-floor signage before assuming you’re in the wrong place.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
