MAKI DENTAL CLINIC
Maki Dental Clinic sits on the second floor of the NRS Building in Daikanyama-adjacent Sarugakucho — a quiet residential pocket of Shibuya that most expats walk past without noticing. It’s a small, independent dental practice, not a polished international clinic, so temper expectations accordingly.
The website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but that doesn’t guarantee the front desk can hold a full conversation. Think: they’ve made an effort, but you may still need Google Translate for anything beyond booking and basic complaints.
For routine stuff — cleaning, fillings, a checkup — this is a solid neighborhood option. It’s close enough to Daikanyama Station to be genuinely convenient if you’re in the area. Don’t expect a multilingual coordinator or English intake forms. Do expect a competent local dentist who’s at least aware that foreign patients exist.
If your dental situation is complex or you need detailed treatment explanations in English, consider calling ahead to gauge their comfort level before committing.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback is limited publicly, but the clinic’s setup suggests a straightforward neighborhood dentist experience — not a tourist-friendly international practice. Appointments are likely efficient given the small scale. Don’t expect a long wait, but also don’t expect a bilingual consultation. Patients report the clinic feels calm and unhurried compared to larger urban chains. Best suited for expats who can manage basic Japanese or don’t need complex treatment discussions.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
