The hospital

A Grade 3A teaching hospital of Dalian Medical University in Liaoning, with a full stomatology department. Dalian is a large port city on the coast, and the hospital runs three campuses: the orthodontics lead sits at the Jinpu campus, so where you are seen depends on the clinician. No. 222 Zhongshan Road is the hospital's correspondence address.

Maxillofacial surgery is the strength

Ten dentists are named, and the depth is in surgery. One chair covers maxillofacial oncology, vascular malformations and cleft lip and palate, leading a clinical specialty recognised at provincial and municipal level. Another works in orthognathic surgery, dentofacial deformity, trauma and reconstruction. The department is headed by a chief physician in oral and maxillofacial surgery and implants, with a deputy head on implant and prosthetic restoration, zirconia crowns and ceramic veneers.

Restorative and periodontal

The rest cover much of what international patients arrive for: implant aesthetics and full-arch fixed prostheses, precision-attachment dentures and whitening; periodontal surgery, splinting and difficult root canal work; and clear aligners for complex malocclusion.

What is not listed

No equipment list is published, so if CBCT or same-day digital restorations matter to your decision, ask what is on site first. Bone grafting and sinus lift are not named among the procedures, worth raising if your case is a grafted implant.
