Matsuoka Shikaiin
Matsuoka Shikaiin is a general dentistry clinic sitting on the second floor of Green House building in Shiba, Minato — a quiet residential-ish pocket of central Tokyo, not far from Tamachi and Mita stations. Standard dental scope: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, the usual.
The website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign — it means they’ve at least thought about non-Japanese patients. But “some English online” doesn’t automatically mean the front desk can hold a full conversation. Realistically, expect basic English at best. Bring a translation app, have your symptoms written out in Japanese if you can manage it, and you’ll probably be fine. The clinic is small and independently run, which tends to mean shorter waits and a more personal feel than a big urban dental chain.
Not a specialist clinic. Not an international medical center. Just a neighborhood dentist in a convenient part of Minato that appears to have made some effort toward accessibility for foreigners.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback on Matsuoka Shikaiin is limited in English-language spaces, so it’s hard to paint a detailed picture. As a small independent clinic, the experience tends toward the personal — one dentist, a handful of staff, no conveyor-belt turnover. That usually means the doctor takes time with you rather than rushing to the next chair. Wait times are likely reasonable given the scale. No strong red flags, but also no large body of expat reviews to draw from yet.
