Mariko Shika Clinic sits on the second floor of a building in Sendagaya, Shibuya — that slightly quieter pocket between Harajuku and Shinjuku that’s easy to reach but never feels chaotic. It’s a general dental clinic run under the Shoryukai medical corporation, covering the usual range: checkups, cleanings, cavities, and cosmetic work.

The website has some English-facing content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully bilingual experience. It’s likely a mixed bag — maybe one staff member who can manage basic dental English, maybe not. Bring a translation app and know your key vocabulary (which tooth hurts, what kind of pain) before you show up. That said, dental appointments are one of the more manageable clinic visits even with a language gap — pointing at a tooth gets you pretty far.

Good option if you’re in the Shibuya area and need reliable general dental care without trekking to a specialist expat clinic across town.
