Saitou Shika

Saitou Shika sits inside Park Tower Gran Sky, a residential high-rise in Higashi-Gotanda, Shinagawa — about a 10-minute walk from Gotanda Station. It’s a private dental clinic covering the usual range: checkups, cleanings, cavities, and cosmetic work.

The clinic has some English on its website, which is a decent sign, but whether that translates to smooth English-language appointments is genuinely unclear. No confirmed English-speaking staff listed. If your Japanese is limited, come prepared — bring a translation app, write down your symptoms beforehand, and don’t assume you’ll be able to explain a complicated dental history on the fly.

That said, many dental visits are more procedural than conversational. Pointing at a tooth and saying “itai” (it hurts) gets you pretty far. For routine cleaning or a straightforward cavity, the language barrier is manageable. For anything complex — root canals, implants, orthodontics — you’ll want to clarify communication options before you book.

Convenient for anyone living in the Gotanda or Osaki area looking for a neighborhood dental clinic without trekking into central Tokyo.
