  • OVAL COURT Shikashitsu sits inside The Park Tower building in Higashi-Gotanda, Shinagawa — a sleek residential and commercial complex that makes the clinic easy to find if slightly tricky to locate on first visit. It’s a general dental practice covering the usual range: cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants, orthodontics. The setup feels modern and calm rather than clinical and chaotic.

    For English speakers, the staff have conversational English ability — enough to walk you through a procedure, take your medical history, and answer basic questions without you needing to pull out Google Translate every five minutes. It won’t feel like a full English-language clinic, but it’s a solid step above pantomime dentistry. If your Japanese is zero, you’ll manage. If you can handle basic Japanese, even better.

    The Shinagawa/Gotanda area is well-served by expats working nearby, so this kind of bilingual-adjacent setup makes sense for the neighborhood. Good option if you want competent, modern dentistry without the premium price tag of a fully international clinic.

    Patient Feedback

    Patients tend to highlight the calm, unhurried atmosphere — this isn’t a conveyor-belt dental mill. Appointments generally run on time, and the dentists are thorough without being alarmist about every minor issue. The Park Tower location feels professional and clean. A few patients note the English communication works well for procedures but can get patchy on billing details, so bring patience (or a Japanese-speaking friend) for the payment conversation.

    English Language Proficiency

    Reception and clinical staff have functional conversational English — enough to explain what they're doing, ask about pain levels, and cover basic medical history. Don't expect fully bilingual intake forms; paperwork is likely in Japanese, so bring your health insurance card and be ready to fill things in with some staff assistance. For routine dental visits, most English-speaking patients report getting through appointments without major communication breakdowns. Complex treatment planning may require extra back-and-forth.
