MAKI DENTAL CLINIC

Total reviews: 345
Shibuya Station (Ginza Line) — 8 min walk
  • Calm, unhurried appointments
  • Near central Tokyo
  • 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 a decent option if you’re based in that part of west Tokyo.

    The clinic handles standard dental work — cleanings, fillings, crowns, the usual. Nothing flashy, nothing boutique. Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve at least thought about foreign patients, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual experience. Bring a translation app as backup. Google Translate on your phone will do most of the heavy lifting if things get complicated.

    This is a neighborhood dental clinic doing neighborhood dental work. If you’re in Shibuya or Daikanyama and need a dentist without trekking to a big international clinic, it’s worth a call first to check the English situation before booking.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried atmosphere — not the assembly-line feel you sometimes get at busier Tokyo clinics. The dentist is reportedly thorough and takes time explaining procedures. Wait times appear reasonable. It’s a small practice, so you’re not sitting in a crowded waiting room. No strong pattern of complaints, but also limited English-language reviews to draw from, so the picture isn’t complete.

    English Language Proficiency

    The website includes some English content, which is a decent sign — it means they're aware foreign patients exist. But that doesn't guarantee English-speaking staff at reception or chairside. Full English consultations are unconfirmed. Before your first visit, try emailing through their site or calling with a Japanese-speaking friend to clarify. Bring a translation app. If your dental needs are straightforward, the language gap is usually manageable. Complex treatment planning is where things could get tricky.
