TSI Shika
TSI Shika is a dental clinic on the third floor of Sakae Building in Ogikubo, Suginami — easy walking distance from Ogikubo Station. The clinic’s website leans heavily into implant dentistry, which seems to be their main focus, but they handle general dentistry too.
For English speakers, this is one of the more approachable options in the area. Staff have conversational English, so you’re not going in completely blind or relying on Google Translate to explain a toothache. Don’t expect fluent clinical English for complex treatment discussions, but basic communication — symptoms, scheduling, payment — should be manageable.
The clinic is in a standard urban office building setup, third floor, so not the most obvious storefront. Worth confirming hours before you go, as Japanese dental clinics often have irregular midweek closures.
Overall: a reasonable local option for Suginami-based expats who need a dentist and don’t want to trek to central Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a thorough approach, particularly around implants and preventive care. The clinic doesn’t feel rushed — appointments tend to run at a reasonable pace rather than being shuffled in and out quickly. The Ogikubo location makes it accessible for people living across western Suginami. A few patients have noted the third-floor office setup is easy to miss, so give yourself a minute to find the building entrance.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
