  • Shiba Pola Shika is a general dental clinic sitting on the ground floor of the Miyake Building in Shiba, Minato — a quietly functional part of Tokyo that’s close to Tamachi and Mita stations. The clinic covers standard dental work: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and general oral care. Their website has some English content, which suggests they’ve thought about international patients at least a little. That said, it’s not clear whether chair-side English is fluent or just passable. If you need detailed treatment explanations, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend as backup. The area itself is easy to reach and not overwhelmingly busy. This isn’t a clinic that’s going to wow you with a sleek interior or a multi-language concierge — it’s a neighborhood dentist in a business district, which is exactly what a lot of expats actually need.

    Patient Feedback

    Patient feedback points to a straightforward, no-fuss experience. The clinic runs on schedule — long waits don’t seem to be a common complaint. Dentists are described as thorough without being alarmist, which is genuinely reassuring if you’re anxious about getting bad news in a second language. The atmosphere is calm and clinical rather than flashy. It reads like a reliable neighborhood dentist: not the most exciting option, but consistent.

    English Language Proficiency

    The clinic publishes some English content online, which puts them ahead of many local dental offices. But whether that translates to fluent English at reception or during treatment is uncertain. Expect basic communication to be possible, but don't count on detailed explanations in English without help. A translation app on your phone is smart to have. If your Japanese is zero and your dental issue is complex, call ahead or bring support.
