Dentistry

Our Department of Stomatology is one of the largest dental diagnosis and treatment units in western Hangzhou, established in August 1994. The outpatient services are distributed across the three campuses of the Main Hospital on Gucui Road, the Second Outpatient Department on Tianmushan Road, and the Zhijiang Campus, covering more than 1,300 square meters in total, with 35 comprehensive treatment chairs, 2 implant operating rooms, and 4 open beds. It is a member unit of the Prosthodontics Committee of the Chinese Stomatological Association, a council unit of the Zhejiang Stomatological Association, and a member unit of the Orthodontics and Prosthodontics Committees of the Zhejiang Stomatological Association. Integrating medical care, health care, teaching, and scientific research, it handles approximately more than 50,000 outpatient and emergency visits annually and admits more than 100 inpatients.

The Department of Stomatology currently has 31 doctors, including 2 chief physicians, 4 deputy chief physicians, 8 attending physicians, 1 doctor with a doctoral degree, and 22 doctors with master's degrees, as well as 3 nurses. To promote the development of the department, in recent years 3 staff members have been sent as visiting scholars to the University of Siena in Italy and the University of Tennessee in the United States, while many others have undertaken further training at well-known domestic universities. They have mastered a number of internationally advanced technologies, laying a solid foundation for the department's continued development.

Our department is fully equipped with specialized facilities and has strong medical and technical capabilities. Its diagnostic and treatment services include dental implants; diseases of the dental pulp and hard tissues; periodontal diseases; mucosal diseases; traditional prosthetic treatment of dentition defects and missing teeth; correction of irregular dentition; and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery section treats patients with oral and maxillofacial inflammation, trauma, tumors, and alveolar diseases, and comprehensively performs various complex major operations, such as “total parotidectomy and malignant tumor resection + facial nerve dissection,” “combined radical resection of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors and lymph node dissection,” and “internal fixation of multiple jaw fractures using micro-titanium plates and absorbable polymer plates.” The department focuses on introducing the latest diagnostic and treatment methods from China and abroad, and its treatment technologies are aligned with international standards. Its precision restoration of dental implants and natural teeth is at a leading level nationally and within Zhejiang Province, and has also received high praise from foreign experts.

Specialty features:

1. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery consists of outpatient and inpatient services. Current outpatient services include minimally invasive extraction of ordinary teeth, various complex teeth, impacted teeth, and supernumerary teeth; diagnosis and treatment of small oral tumors and jaw cysts; and comprehensive treatment of tooth transplantation, tooth replantation, and dental trauma. The inpatient unit comprehensively performs various operations, including treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors, maxillofacial fractures, and salivary gland diseases. At the same time, our department operates a day-surgery ward, simplifying procedures, providing patients with faster and safer treatment, reducing treatment costs, and decreasing waste of resources.

2. Dental Implantology

The department has introduced internationally renowned implant systems, including the Swiss ITI implant system, the SIC implant system, and the Korean OSSTEM implant system. The department has a professional implant team composed of implant surgeons, implant prosthodontists, and periodontists who have received specialized systematic training. Implant physicians have received repeated professional training and study at the University of Siena in Italy, the University of Tennessee in the United States, and the West China School of Stomatology of Sichuan University. Standardization and specialization are the department's purpose and distinguishing features. At present, the department performs a number of complex implant procedures, including early implantation, immediate implantation, internal and external sinus floor elevation, guided bone regeneration, bone condensation, bone splitting, distraction osteogenesis, and implant treatment for edentulous jaws, achieving a very high success rate.

3. Conservative Dentistry

Treatment of dental hard-tissue and pulp diseases includes caries filling, root canal treatment, single-visit root canal filling, vital pulp amputation, and light-cured resin aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth; treatment of dental hard-tissue and pulp diseases in children; diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease; and splint fixation of mobile teeth. With the goal of “preserving natural teeth,” the department preserves the natural teeth in patients' mouths to the greatest extent possible, while focusing on treating periodontal diseases, maintaining periodontal health, and improving quality of life.

4. Prosthodontics

All-ceramic crowns, CAD/CAM all-ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, precision implant-supported prosthetic restorations, preservation and restorative treatment of residual roots and residual crowns, and occlusal reconstruction for severely worn teeth. Cast-framework removable partial dentures, magnet-retained dentures, overdentures, telescopic-crown dentures, precision attachment dentures, implant-supported prosthetic restoration and complete denture restoration for edentulous patients. The marginal precision of the fixed prostheses fabricated by our department has reached an advanced level domestically and internationally, and enjoys a high reputation among peers.

5. Orthodontics

Multiple series of fixed appliances, removable appliances, and functional appliances are available; American INVISALIGN invisible orthodontic technology is also used. Treatment is provided for irregular dentition and dentofacial deformities in adolescents and adults.
