Inside a large hospital

The First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, known as YunDa Hospital, is a Grade 3A general hospital on Xichang Road in Kunming with a full stomatology department. Dentistry here is one branch of a large teaching institution rather than a standalone dental hospital, and the published profile is shaped that way: two clinicians are listed, and both work in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Surgery is the focus

Li Ming is professor and chief physician and heads the department, listing orthognathic surgery, oral and maxillofacial oncology, and microsurgery and perforator flaps; Wang Weihong is deputy head and works in the same field. The equipment follows the work — real-time optical surgical navigation, and CT with 3D reconstruction and segmentation for pre-operative tumour modelling. The published treatment list is correspondingly short and surgical: dental implants, wisdom tooth removal and oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Coming from abroad

This is the only hospital here that publishes a line for international cooperation, +86-871-65321934, alongside the main switchboard on +86-871-65324888; use the international number first, as it is the more realistic route into a department this size. If you are travelling for a surgical problem rather than routine restorative care, the team is the reason to come — but expect the first conversation to be about imaging and staging before it is about dates.
