MAKI DENTAL CLINIC
Maki Dental Clinic sits on the second floor of the NRS Building in Sarugakucho — a quiet residential pocket of Shibuya that most expats walk past without noticing. It’s a short walk from Daikanyama Station, which makes it genuinely convenient without the chaos of being right on top of Shibuya’s main scramble.
The clinic handles standard dentistry: cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual. Nothing flashy, nothing specialty-niche. Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume that means you’ll walk in and have a smooth English conversation at the front desk. The reality is probably closer to functional-with-effort — a mix of basic English, pointing at screens, and the universal language of dental tools that make the procedure fairly self-explanatory anyway.
If you’re in the Daikanyama or Nakameguro area and need a dentist without trekking to a big international clinic, this is worth a call. Just have your symptoms written out in Japanese before you go. Google Translate will be your co-pilot here.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback is limited online, which is pretty common for smaller neighborhood dental clinics in Tokyo. What exists suggests a no-frills, competent practice — thorough cleanings, straightforward explanations (with effort), and no sense of being rushed out the door. Wait times appear reasonable. It’s a local clinic that runs like a local clinic: reliable, not flashy, and probably better than you’d expect once you’re actually in the chair.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
