MAKI DENTAL CLINIC
Maki Dental sits on the second floor of the NRS Building in Shibuya’s Sarugakucho neighborhood — a quiet residential pocket that’s a short walk from the bustle of Daikanyama and Shibuya stations. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and basic orthodontic work.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English-speaking dentist waiting for you. Reality is probably somewhere in between — staff who can manage basic dental vocab in English, but complex conversations about treatment plans may get bumpy. A translation app on your phone is smart backup.
It’s a neighborhood clinic, not a foreigner-specialist practice. That means the vibe is local and low-key, not polished-for-expats. If you live nearby in Daikanyama or Nakameguro, the location is genuinely convenient. If you’re trekking from across Tokyo specifically for English support, look elsewhere first.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic with a thorough approach to exams — not the kind of place that rushes you out in 15 minutes. The location in Sarugakucho keeps foot traffic low, so wait times tend to be reasonable. Atmosphere is quiet and neighborhood-clinic modest. No flashy equipment showrooms, just straightforward dental care. Most reviewers seem to be local Japanese patients, so expat-specific feedback is thin.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
