Nihon Shika Group

Nihon Shika Group operates a central Ridgewood clinic for general and specialty dental care—cleanings, fillings, crowns, surgical extractions, and implants blend under one roof. Ridgewood’s older housing stock and newer apartments both lie within a few minutes’ drive, so scheduling fills quickly during the school year. Fees appear on paper before any work begins; insurance cards are scanned once at the front so repeat typing stays off staff desks.

Wooden bungalows stand shoulder-to-shoulder on Franklin Ave between Washington and Broad; the exact practice is tucked inside #1B, an entrance that avoids the main row of storefronts. Guttenberg-bound buses roll by every fifteen minutes, making the stop ideal for commuters who slip in between trains. Delivery vans for nearby grocers and florists double-park briefly at the corner—an unspoken Ridgewood rhythm most visitors soon mimic.

Call (201) 652-6897 once to confirm next available slot; same-day cancellations reopen slots for urgent cases, yet wedged-in cleanings keep the calendar honest. Teeth-whitening trays and night guards sit ready on the shelf, priced flat so surprise tick-marks don’t appear at checkout. Patients sometimes joke that the X-ray chair doubles as the fastest traffic signal in town—fifteen minutes in, fifteen minutes out unless the scan spots more work.

Pull up exact directions from anywhere in Bergen County using the map pinned to this listing; the route reroutes around light-rail tie-ups automatically. Parking behind the strip mall spares you front-street meters most afternoons, yet the gate arm lifts fast so late arrivals haven’t learned the hard way.
