Oli-Bu shika
Oli-Bu Dental Clinic (オリーブ歯科クリニック) sits on the ground floor of Felicia Palace in West Shinjuku — a quiet residential pocket that’s a short walk from the chaos of Shinjuku Station. It’s a general dentistry practice covering the usual bases: checkups, cleanings, fillings, and basic restorative work.
Their website has some English content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full English consultation waiting for you. The reality is probably a mix — some staff may manage basic dental vocabulary in English, but for anything complex, come prepared. A translation app on your phone is smart backup.
West Shinjuku has a growing expat population, so clinics in this area tend to have at least passing familiarity with foreign patients. That said, call ahead or use their website contact form to check current English availability before booking. It’ll save everyone time.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a calm, unhurried clinic environment — not the kind of place where you feel rushed through the chair. The dentists appear thorough with explanations, though how much of that translates clearly for non-Japanese speakers depends on the day and who’s treating you. Wait times seem reasonable for a neighborhood practice. Nothing flashy, but competent and professional.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
