Shiga Dental Clinic

Shiga Dental Clinic sits in Ota Ward, one of Tokyo’s more residential, less-expat-heavy corners. It’s a general dentistry practice handling the usual range — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and likely some cosmetic work based on their site. The clinic’s website has some English-language elements, which suggests they’ve at least thought about international patients, but don’t walk in expecting a fully bilingual front desk. This is a neighborhood dental clinic, not an expat-specialist practice. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond basic pointing and nodding. That said, dental procedures are largely visual — your dentist will show you X-rays, point at the problem tooth, and the treatment itself doesn’t require much conversation. Ota Ward isn’t a major expat hub, so if you’re coming from further afield specifically for English service, it’s worth calling ahead first to check.
