YONEZU Dental Clinic
YONEZU Dental Clinic sits on the third floor of Miya Building in Igusa, Suginami — a residential corner of western Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. That’s actually the point: this is a neighborhood dentist, not a foreigner-focused clinic.
The website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about non-Japanese patients at least a little. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean the receptionist picks up the phone ready to discuss your gum recession in fluent English. Realistically, you’ll want to come prepared — a translation app, your insurance card, and some patience go a long way.
Standard dental services are on offer: checkups, cleaning, fillings, the usual. If you live in Suginami and want a local clinic without trekking to Shinjuku or Shibuya for English-friendly care, this is worth a call. Just don’t expect the full bilingual experience.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried practice — the kind of dentist where you’re not shuffled out after 15 minutes. Appointments tend to run on time. The clinic is small and quiet, which suits people who find big urban dental chains stressful. No strong pattern of English-language reviews, so the expat experience here is genuinely hard to gauge from the outside.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
