AOBA Dental Clinic
AOBA Dental Clinic sits on the third floor of the Kawana Building in Shibuya 3-chome — walkable from Shibuya Station if you know which exit to aim for. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and likely some cosmetic work based on their website.
The English situation is genuinely unclear. Their website has some English-facing content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about foreign patients — but that doesn’t mean reception will pick up the phone in English or that your consultation will run smoothly without prep. Bring a translation app. If you have a Japanese-speaking friend who can call ahead to confirm your needs, that’s worth doing.
For expats in the Shibuya area who need a dentist and don’t want to travel to a dedicated international clinic, this is a reasonable option to try — just go in with realistic expectations about communication rather than assuming it’ll be fully bilingual.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback online is limited, which makes it hard to give you a confident read. What’s typical for clinics like this in Shibuya: reasonably modern equipment, appointment-based scheduling with moderate wait times, and dentists who are thorough even if explanations happen mostly in Japanese. If you’ve been to a Japanese dental clinic before, you know the drill — meticulous, efficient, not a lot of small talk.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
